You can walk up Mount Vernon or Meigs (the streets our apartment is located between) into the park. It has sections that were carved by glaciers, as well as a huge curated section of pines, lilacs, maples, magnolias, peonies.... This park is beautiful for a walk or picnic - where the Lilac Festival happens in the spring.

This place is wonderful, located in an old brick church (I think it was a church judging by the windows). It has a lot of games (pinball etc.), a bar area, and a to go/casual restaurant area with burgers, salads, fries and shakes.
