The playground at Garfield (26th and Harrison Streets) is stellar, as you can see. Excellent toddler structure, plenty of trees to climb as well as a bigger jungle gym for the older kids, picnic tables and even bbq grills. There is also a pool, great soccer field, plenty of space to roam and run, but there is also a downside. Immediately next to the playground is a housing project. Thug life hangs out in all its glory within a couple hundred feet of the kiddies which is a big fat drag. Will these pathetic toughies bother you? Of course not, they are interested in their own doings. Will you be worried about thug life spill over (mis-directed beer bottles, stray shots, ugly fighting and shouting)? Depends on your constitutional make-up. We will continue to use this park, but we will also make sure to come in the mornings.
