    "I like all the parks that are less then a mile from my house. My favorite park in my neighborhood is Frank Hall park. Frank Hall park has a play area for kids, a fishing pier, Public water access for boaters, and Gazbos that are perfect for a picnic (The humane society is by the park too! highly recommend checking it out if you want a pet.). Right across the street from the park there is a basketball and a pickleball court and the Aquatic Center."
