Victory Park

Victory Park sits behind the 10th East Senior Center and serves as a compact neighborhood spot with the basics covered. The playground includes swings, a couple of slides (watch out for the metal one on hot summer days), and monkey bars, plus there's a tennis court if you want to bring rackets. Shade trees provide relief in the morning and evening hours, and benches around the perimeter make it easy to supervise kids or settle in with a book. The fenced setup keeps younger children contained, though there are no restrooms on-site.
