Sunset & Adams Park
A small fenced lot under a thick tree canopy
About this park
A compact neighborhood park shaded by a heavy tree canopy, with a sand area, picnic table, bench, and a dog cleanup station. The fence runs most of the perimeter but has an open section, so it is not fully enclosed. The playground equipment itself sits out in the sun, even as the rest of the lot stays shaded.

Before you go
Don't count on the fence to contain an off-leash dog; one section is open to the street. The playground area gets hot in direct sun, so favor mornings in summer.
