The rest of the park contains a ball field with team benches, a playground, picnic tables, a basketball hoop and two lighted tennis courts.
If you're going to play ball at Plymouth Square Park, make sure it's a basketball. This half-block park has a two-hoop court, but a sign at the entrance says hitting baseballs, softballs or golfballs isn't allowed. A fence along the park's western edge keeps kids away from busy Main Street.
