Linda Reventlow Midtlyng: Leonardo beach, IF TOWNSHIP WOULD CLEAN IT UP.

Peggy Sue: My own backyard because I take care of it unlike Middletowns u-turns

Kate McKiernan DeNunzio: Sad to see the comments but I agree - Hillside park at the end of chestnut? Between the broken glass and filth it's just not the place to picnic. Disgraceful .

Laura Lynn: Thompson Park or Deepcut Park. Both beautiful

Erika Waltz: Stevenson Park off west front street... A hidden gem of a park with views of shadow lake and lots of wildlife.

Alma Nygren:  Not Deep Cut Park - looks like a prison with the high fences, and they've chased the deer to Tatum so they can kill them...
