“Seger Park hits the sweet spot for a midweek reset, with resurfaced tennis and basketball courts, a kiddo-friendly tot lot, and room to just hang out. Courts are open access this year, no reservations, so grab a racquet or a ball, rotate after an hour, and keep the games rolling under those LED lights.”

“City park with a 10-geyser fountain as well as a Children’s Discovery Garden & a toy-boat pond.”
