Allmendinger Park

Allmendinger Park is an 8-acre park located on Pauline Boulevard between Hutchins and Edgewood Avenue, southwest of downtown. It has a mix of open spaces and oak woods.

The park contains softball fields, a restroom facility (closed in winter) and water fountain, a play area nestled in an oak and hickory grove, picnic tables, a tennis court and a basketball court. An asphalt path connects the play area, picnic area and restroom facility. In the spring, lilacs along the southwest edge bloom.

Many people go there to fly kites, run with their dogs, chase their kids around the baseball diamonds, practice martial arts and picnic. The kids playground makes a good birthday spot and provides plenty of shade. A favorite feature of the playground is the classic merry go round.
