This small park is literally across the street from my house. It features a playground for kids from 6 months to 12 years of age. It has swings, slides, and a climbing structure.
There's also an open field perfect for football/soccer, playing catch, frisbee, etc.
As our street is so quiet, there's usually only a handful of people and dogs using it.

Drinks & Nightlife
A quiet little spot. Dimly lit. Very friendly staff. Average prices. Good food but not a lot of options.
Many nights, there's an interesting guy curating the music.
It's perfect for a quiet date night or a place to hang out and chat.

On Wednesdays and Thursdays they have karaoke which brings out a fair number of people. The staff are polite, prices are good. I wouldn't recommend it other nights of the week.
This is close to Lansdowne so there's lots of local colour, meaning you can run into some interesting people. It's not that it's unsafe but I wouldn't recommend you go here late at night, alone, if you're female.
If you want a place to hang out with locals, have a few drinks, watch local sports teams on tv, and sing! This is for you.
