Fernwood Park
Michaels Drive, Parking behind the Woods Academy on Greentree Rd. (map)
This neighborhood park has a playground, tennis courts, and ball fields.
The mostly sunny playground is decent, with swings, three slides, some metal and wood climbing equipment and more. It is cushioned with a layer of mulch. There are tennis courts with a practice wall, a soccer field and a baseball field.
Access to the park is a bit odd. The park and planning commission lists the address as Michaels Drive, but there is no parking there between 9 am and 5 pm. Fortunately, there is also a sign that says you should park behind the Woods Academy at 6801 Greentree Rd. I am unsure about how available the parking lot is during the school day.
