West end of Little Italy, south side of Mayfield Rd.  Between Random Rd. and the railroad tracks, across from Etna's.  It's a nice little park.

Aye, they just redid the park, but there is precious little shade offered by the saplings they planted. There is a small gazebo, but with all of the pavement, it's going to be awfully hot there as well.

i was just thinking things to do for the little one... the new playground area is pretty nice.

Was just on the playground on Tuesday with my son.  VERY nice.  I especially like how they used the flat rubber surface as opposed to woodchips or cut up tires.  We also walked through the little urban garden in the back corner, which is an impressive little co-op effort.

Yeah, we need to keep him out of the blazing sun.

You can go into Holy Rosary to cool off.

Angelo's Nido Italia has an indoor place to go and sit down -- across from the church.  Plus they have an Italian buffet.

Well, it doesn't look like we'll be going much of anywhere this weekend as I think I've broken my ribs last night, tripping over little RNR's toys.  I landed on the coffee table on my side, HARD, and also hit my arm.  My arm has a huge bruise and I assume one is building on my side as well.  If they're not broken, it's a very bad bruise and I don't feel like doing much. :(

Ouch!  I've had that happen.  I tripped on the kids skates in my parents foyer.  It's not fun, especially when you're half awake.
