Calvert Vaux Playground

“There is a play area for children with ladders bridges and slides. There are basketball courts and handball courts for wallball, etc.. There is also a designated bocce area but few people ever utilize it. There are numerous tables and benches surrounding the park. You can walk your dog here but be sure and pick up after them please. There are garbage bins for disposing the waste. There are restrooms here, the hours vary seasonally. Typically dirty with an unpleasant odor, little can be done for this.”

“Great playground for children ranging from nb to ~8 years old. There are standard climbing areas, swings, basketball and handball courts. A lot of open, grassy areas are available to play/run around on. Water sprinkles available during the summer. There's a public bathroom available. There's a bridge nearby that'll take you to a different section of Calvert Vaux Playground across Belt Parkway, however it's composed of only stairs and is difficult for anybody with a stroller, bicycle, etc.”

“Grew up here a looooong time ago when the abandoned building was in the middle so many great times. Playing there riding bikes thru the park.”

“Water fountains inoperable all summer. Water sprinkler for children off all summer. Park is maintained and kept clean but it needs to have water for hydration and it should have had water sprinkler on all summer.”
