Dottie Jordan Park is located at 2803 Loyola Lane. I just
moved across the street from it and spent my weekend there. It is a beautiful
neighborhood park which has two tennis courts, two basketball courts, three
barbeque pits a covered picnic area, an a swimming pool. The space also
provides an almost half mile long trail for anyone who wishes to take a walk
among nature. The park is eleven acres in size and is a fantastic area for
families to visit. It also seems to be a wonderful spot for outdoor recreation
for the residents of the neighborhood. Everyday there is an abundance of
children at the park playing basketball, swimming, or playing on the play
structure. The community surrounding the park is of a wonderful predominately
black community and the park serves the community well in that it offers the
opportunity for the residents to connect with nature and gives the neighborhood
children a place to play and stay active. My time at the park afforded me the
opportunity to make some neighborhood friends and to appreciate the community
in which I am now lucky enough to be a part of. I recommend Dottie Jordan Park
to anyone who is looking for a nice place to experience nature without having
to pay a nominal fee for entry or parking.
