Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Synopsis
Located in the heart of Mt. Washington, this park provides a respite from the hubbub of busy Beechmont Avenue.  You can easily come for the playground and a quick stroll along the paved path or head down the trail for a deep woods experience which you would never guess existed if you are normally just a passerby of the area.
