Recreation- Built in 1899, the 162-acre park with Smith and Grasmere lakes each ending the long grassy meadow, is a local recreational haven. The three-story red brick 1926 South High School, complete with griffins perched on its roof overlooks Washington Park from the southeast corner.

Recreation- The Washington Park neighborhood is rich with entertainment, like the cluster of small shops and restaurants on South Gaylord and South Perl Streets. Throughout the 162-acre park, you can swim, lift weights or take classes at the recreation center; job or walk along the crushed-granite outer trail; play tennis, volleyball or soccer; bike or rollerblade on the paved inner pathway; and catch fish in Smith and Grasmere Lakes.
