Area parks
- Ashworth – Holmes Park (12.68 acres) derived its name from John H. Holmes and John Ashworth. These realtors of the early 1900s purchased most of the land now named the Caswell Hill Subdivision. (Their purchase was bordered by Idylwyld to Avenue H and 22nd to 29th Streets) They subdivided the land and sold it, but donated Шаблон:Convert to the City which became this park area. [This isn't actually possible, because the Ashworth-Holmes park lies outside of the bounds mentioned above. It is bound by 30th and 31st Streets.]
Swimming facilities
