In this "community centre without a roof," a community-run brick oven has helped bring life back to the park - and attracted attention from around the globe.
Fabulous community with dedicated volunteers. There is a pizza and bread-making oven, theatre, ice rink, playground, wading pool, baseball diamond, basketball court, chess, checkers, gardens, crafts for kids, card playing for older visitors, drop in centre activities... and best of all, beautiful and abundant old shady trees.
