Avondale park is also a really lovely place to have a picnic or walk your dog(s) and they even have different pavilions equipped with electric outlets for bigger events, even weddings! With the library near by as well! It’s an overall lovely place to start a new or just somewhere fresh where the people are lively and usually friendly. :)"
