The designated picnic area is great for when you want to enjoy lunch outside or celebrate a birthday with friends. It's one of those places where you might come alone but end up chatting with neighbors or joining in a community event that's happening.
Playground
Kids have their own space at Rawson-Washington Park with a playground area that gives the little ones a chance to burn off energy. Worth noting that the equipment and grounds could use some TLC in certain spots, but it still provides a functional play space for children in the neighborhood.
