Alamo Recreation Center

Whether your game is full- or half-court, whether you've got your posse or are looking for a new pickup crew, come battle it out under the shady canopy at this small Eastside park between Manor Road and MLK. And if you've got kids in tow, fret not, there's four-square and hopscotch painted in the margins, a full playground in view, and a couple of small sets of bleachers for cheering or hanging out.
