Plummer Park

“This is a review of the tennis courts. They are cracked and usually have debris on them ranging from leaves to gum (!), but they are nonetheless a fun place and convenient place to play in an urban park sort of way. I like that they were resurfaced some time ago in blue, the nets are the right height, and they are often available. The tennis pros look great, though I've only watched them and never taken a lesson. I play with a friend. The cons are that the courts are very noisy, which can be a problem when playing tennis. The court we usually play on is near a workout station on the southwest side, and there is often very loud amplified music from trainers teaching classes there (are they allowed to do that?). Also, it is right near the bathroom, which is always occupied by street people getting high and staying locked in there for long periods of time. There is always garbage and on two occasions human waste on the side of the court near the bathroom. The courts on the other side get traffic noise. On the other hand, it is an entertaining experience to play there, with a mix of languages and personalities, and in the mornings I think it's free.”

“I love this park because this park has a little bit of everything for a little kids to big kids. This park has a little grass area right next to playground so you can have a blanket and sit and watch while kids are playing and also has a picnic tables and benches too. And right next to kids playground, there is a little kids playground ground separated with the fence and that is belong to the preschool during the daytime. Many people are walking with the dogs and exercising here which makes me feel vibrant and safe.”

“Cute urban park in the heart of the quiet neighborhood, great example of a compact but efficient common space. It has pickleball and tennis courts (with online reservation system), basketball court, lots of benches, children’s playground, water fountains for both people and dogs, a few historic buildings for community events. It’s well lit at the night time, always clean and well maintained, most of the time a security ambassador is on site. Parking lots are located on both north and south ends of the park.”

“Plummer Park isn't very big and it doesn't have a field, but it offers pretty much everything else you expect from a recreation park, like tennis courts, basketball courts and playgrounds. The park is relatively clean and being taken good care of, although on the morning that I visited the park, I still spotted a few homeless persons and their tents in the corners of the park.”
