Sennott Park

Sennot Park, on Broadway between Norfolk and Prospect




Aaaaah Sennott Park.  This is the park I definitely spent the most time at as a kid.  And I think it's only improved since then.  Its best feature might be the big field next to it- which often has soccer and baseball games in play.  Sennott park is HOT in the summer- I blame the small trees, but that will improve with time.  There are actually some great junior climbing trees on the Prospect side.  I'm sure that's not what they're there for, but it's so tempting.
My son loves to watch the basketball court right beside the playground- and in general, there are usually a lot of people both there, and in the park and playground.  Just the other day, we noticed a sunburned man sleeping at the picnic table in the  playground.  He was not with a kid.  Don't worry, it's cool.  In terms of the climbing structures, there are two- the smaller one still isn't quite small enough for newly toddling kids to explore on their own- so stand awkwardly beside it, or jump up there yourself!

    but of course! I know you'll be the one to ask the sleeping man to move. Thanks in advance for taking that initiative.

    Sennott park is also a great place to distract your soccer opponents with poetry.

    Sennot Park does have water spray fountains in hot weather. It has basket ball courts for older kids and the kiddie park is good for little ones
