“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.”

“3 acres, with a 10-geyser earth fountain, a toy-boat pond, a nature-inspired Children’s Discovery Garden, public art, and a café serving light fare. It’s the sort of place where kids burn energy, pollinators show off, and you sneak a quiet coffee between errands.”
