Tennyson
Park
At the Intersection of Manon and Huntwood.
This
is a wonderful park that has a skating area and a basketball court. There
is also a beautiful play structure that is for children aged 3-12 years old.
The park feels safe because there is a fire department across the street
and there are other stores close by. I did see a few homeless people living at
the park during my visit. Yet on the whole, the park is very well maintained.

not feel safe walking through the park during the night due to the fact that
