Granger Park

Fun, clean, little park off the beaten path that's never busy. Monkey bars, swings, couple of slides and platforms to climb to. Open space enough to bring a soccer or football. Only one large picnic table so makes a nice lunch spot if it's available.

Very small. Short walk, and nice to take young children to. The picnic table there is also a Pokéstop for Pokémon GO players, as well as other live VR games such as Jurassic World Alive (two 'Supply Drops'- two others are also nearby, one just near the circuit at the end of Ashley Ave, which is west, and the Stadium Dr ONU parking lot entrance, southeast of Belmont Park) The swing set recently was replaced with a newer set. Once you pass age 9 everything becomes too small, but a go-to place if you are a babysitter bringing young children. Has a couple of trees, in a residential area near Hidden Glen Apartments and Ashley Avenue. If you are crossing over the field ONU owns to go to Granger Park, be on the lookout for campus police and cops; they are very on-edge about people trespassing. A small baseball field is located in the field next to (north) of the park, only marked by the baseball gate in the corner next to the house. This goes rather unused so you will have to bring your own base set. I've seen that field and the field adjacent that's ONU's as a 'camp' of sorts set up by the College Church for the HGA kids (which only lasted a summer, 2014, I believe), frisbee, kite flying, drone flying, dog walking (and pooping, which goes often unpicked up), and a man even uses ONU's field for golf (you can see him there every other warm and dry day, his car parked in the gravel driveway, cones set up as holes, his ball-pickup machine, lining up a shot in the mid-afternoon) This park is open dawn to dusk, so again, I suggest you leave before nightfall so you don't run into police. I believe it needs more emphasis by adding more equipment, as it serves as the only little local park for the twin Ashley and Belmont Avenues, Stadium Drive, Lois Ln., and Country Court. I'll take new pictures of it soon.

This park is nice for kids to hang out at
