Two parks can be found in the neighborhood along Coosa Street on both sides of Village Creek. North of the creek, Greenwood Park has a large playground with swings and interesting climbing equipment set on cushioned ground, basketball courts and a long walking trail that takes visitors around the two large ponds on the park's 34 acres of land. South of the creek, W.C. Patton Park has a playground, a mini amphitheater and a track. "It's great for getting your steps in," says Rose.A slice of local industrial history
Book lovers are just a short drive or bike ride from the North Avondale Public Library. History buffs might enjoy visiting the historic Sloss Furnaces, currently the only 20th-century blast furnace in the United States preserved as a historic industrial site. While there aren't remains of the original furnace complex from the late 1800s, some buildings and features date back to the early 20th century. In addition to tours, the site is used to host events like concerts, festivals and metal art exhibitions.Plenty to eat, drink and buy
There are a couple of small grocery stores, like Kings Foods, plus convenience stores easily accessible from Richard Arrington Jr. Boulevard. In about 10 minutes, locals can drive to a nearby Family Dollar, Dollar General or the Piggly Wiggly Clairmont. Nearby, Sozo Trading Company is an upscale thrift store selling global handmade goods or boutique clothing. The proceeds serve as income for Sozo Children, a nonprofit ministry that cares for vulnerable children in Uganda. Locals can donate gently used items like clothing, home goods, electronics and furniture to the store, while vendors can rent booth space to sell their wares. Pepper Place, an outdoor flea market open every weekend, is also nearby. Patrons can check out the wares of local artists for their home decor selection or buy fresh produce at the market.When residents crave a good pint of beer, they flock to Back Forty Beer Company. They offer a variety of American and European craft beer styles, brewed on-site and served fresh. Customers can order pub foods like the Back 40 Cheeseburger, the Bianca Pizza or a kale salad and many opt to enjoy their meal outside in the beer garden. For a chill place to unwind after a busy day or for some nightlife fun, residents head to The Vibe Bar.
