Palmer Square Park
A boulevard park under mature trees with sculptural play features, a carved-animal stage and a soft half-mile running loop. Deep shade and picnic ground; no restroom.
Covered by mature trees with spacious shaded areas, plus some open sunny ground
The single most-repeated complaint about an otherwise well-liked park
A loop of almost exactly half a mile on a surface softer than concrete
A favourite spot for blankets and small groups
Benches plus sculptural seating shaped like tree stumps
Small creative play features including a raised stage with carved animal figures
Well used by picnicking adults; the play areas are quieter than the lawns

How we know this
Every value above comes from what visitors described on site, read one park at a time. Where accounts disagree we say so rather than picking a side. Where nobody has mentioned something, we leave it blank and ask you.
