An urban green space that has a Farmer's Market on Thursday afternoons and community suppers on Fridays. Mud pit for kids to play in and camp fires that you can sign up to use. You'll have to contact the park beforehand to reserve a campfire pit and have a quick safety training session, bring your own wood (you can get some at a gas station or grocery store}. Sounds like a lot of effort but it's totally worth it.
