Mt. Tabor Park
Mt. Tabor Park Review
A playground on top of a volcano cinder cone? Yup, that's here. The cinders, or glassy rock fragments, unearthed in the park's construction, were used to surface the respite's roads; the ones leading to the top are closed to cars, but popular with cyclists. They're also popular with cruisers—each August there's an old-fashioned soapbox derby. Picnic tables and tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts make Mt. Tabor Park perfection. Good for: Families, Picnickers, Dog Lovers, Geologists, Walkers, Cyclists, Sunset Seekers.
