CONDITIONS:
The Crawford Street Playground is 2.64 acres and features a little league field that doubles as a football field and soccer field for local children.

The playground has five points of access, several of which lead through attractive wooded areas. One entrance is from the Ellis School and the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists. Community members from various areas can easily access the playground, and often use the playground as a cut-through. The park is clean and generally in good condition.
