This is the Housing Bank Park, where I take Maya on sunny days during the winter and when it's not too hot in the summer. It's a 5 minute car ride from our home. The park is in Abdoun, which is the neighborhood next to ours. I love it because it is frequented by both Jordanians and foreigners so it's really a mix of people. As you can see, it's a very small park, with no trees but it's nice because it's one of the very few parks in the entire city of Amman so it gives Maya an opportunity to run around. One side has swings and jungle-gym (above) and the other side has grass to run around in (below). It's given me a new appreciation for parks and open space back home and in Boston. I wish folks had more places to take their children here. I think it would make a world of a difference. Not having many parks is one of the very few downsides to Amman.
