It WAS a school, but has been turned into a collaborative art space. Super cool and wonderful things happen there and it's a great place to come hang with your kids, especially when it's crappy outside but you need to get out, even just to have a coffee at the cafe. Super close to the park.

Community Park Small outdoor pool but pretty secluded and not really busy..at least that's been my experience. The kiddie park has probably the only round about spinny thing left in the city.
