Dodge the "poopy meadows" and the frolicking families, and there are plenty of reasons to seek out this popular treelined Eastside neighborhood's own little slice of peace and quiet. A pool, tennis courts, picnic facilities, and acres of space for spontaneous soccer games are just part of the charm. But best of all is making the trek with a love interest and finding two empty swings next to each other. Sturdy enough for rowdy daredevil kids, yet delicate enough for lovers, the hard rubber seats are big enough to hold even the heftiest hunk's butt. You'll be laughing even as you're entangled in chains, swaying into the evening while the sun goes down on a hot summer's dusk.
