Located in midtown, McCormick Park is also the site of a YMCA, although there is no swimming pool here. The park is located about a block and a half south of Ft. Lowell Road on Columbus Avenue. This is the city's main recreation center and will please athletes and non-athletes alike. Encompassing a gymnasium, a swimming pool, tennis center, and performing arts and art and crafts buildings, you can be assured there is always something going on here.
Parking is plentiful.
Reid Park 22nd St. and Country Club Rd. That's because until the Parks and Rec Department decided to honor Gene C. Reid, a longtime Parks and Rec director, the park was called Randolph Park. Mature trees and plenty of grass make this an ideal spot for a family picnic. Evenings and weekends are filled with city league slowpitch softball and volleyball games. Adults can opt for a pedalboat ride.
