Find your way to this park!

Nagel Park is a small recreation area located at 3100 Wabash Street right behind Burton Elementary School. This space features two soccer fields, baseball/softball diamond, picnic pavilion, and walking course that encircles the field. 

The park might lack some equipment but the community and local high school athletes take advantage of the space by hosting sporting events including soccer, football, and ultimate frisbee. 

I also noticed that there were fewer trash cans spread out over the park and trash was an issue here as well.
