Urban spelunking: Merrill Park and its 1928 fieldhouse

Merrill Playfield, 461 N. 35th St., has a baseball diamond, tennis courts, a tot lot playground, wading pool, basketball courts, a big grassy field and the Fred Green Community Center located in the 1928 fieldhouse. The effort to restore the park in 1996 was a textbook example of public-private cooperation.
