Immediately south of Phoenix Field is Phoenix Park, which has playing fields for baseball, soccer, lacrosse, and other sports, a playground, picnic area, community garden, as well as wonderful open space with trails leading through fields of grasses, wildflowers, oak trees and the wonderful Vernal Pools. Vernal pools are Wetlands that occur in shallow basins that are generally underlain by an impervious subsoil layer (eg, a clay pan or hard pan) or bedrock. These particular pools are protected by the Parks Department and have a walking trail connecting them to the park and nearby homes.
