Tietze Park

Serene and green with plenty of shady trees, this Lakewood park boasts an impressive array of amenities, including a playground, picnic tables, a basketball court and a softball field that both host plenty of league games, and lots of wide open spaces to play Frisbee with your dog. On those most scorching of summer days (you know, pretty much all of them?), pony up five bucks and gain access to a huge public pool, which is not so great for swimming laps but excellent for splashing around while cooling down.
