Cool off at one of two community pools
Residents looking to cool off from the hot summer can do so at one of the two community pools in the neighborhood. 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. They also do a ton of other events throughout the year, like summer concerts.” Grover Cleveland Park sits just south of the neighborhood but allows residents to play various sports and has a playground for children.
