Greenwood Park (Assessed by Adrian)


Greenwood Park
At the Intersection of Eden and Middle

I found this park to be very beautiful and shady. There is a very big play structure that is about 20 feet tall. All of the grass is green and luscious, making this park a very nice place to sit and relax. Additionally, the park feels very safe to me and seems like a very good place to bring young children.
