Both Westville Avenue and Cedar Street pools have basketball courts, playgrounds and offer swimming lessons. For smaller children, Cedar Street Pool has a separate kiddie pool. At Memorial Park, next door to the Cedar Street pool, visitors can play tennis with friends or kick around a soccer ball. “Grover Cleveland Park is a big attraction,” Giermanski says. “They have a fishing derby every May.
