Preston Gardens

I came here on a weekday morning for short walk. It is a dog friendly park, with some tables with umbrellas and chairs. There are some impressive steps leading down/​up the park to the parallel streets, which make it accessible for park-​goers. Lots of green, open space — there is even free yoga here on Thursdays! Overall — nice place for a short walk, but don’t expect anything that is exciting or scenic.

In the city, every bit of greenery or trees makes all the difference in the world. It ups real estate values and it’s a known fact that better neighborhoods have more foliage.
Preston Gardens is a little strip that often gets overlooked as we drive down Saint Paul St next to Mercy Hospital. The city has recently invested more in the parks, Preston Gardens included. There is a fountain, little round metal café tables and chairs under the shady trees, all topped off with landscaped flowers.
They offer free lunchtime yoga in the gardens every Thursday from 12−1pm, May thru October (bring your own mat). Beer Garden & Bocce with live music, next one is Thur July 18^th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm
