Travelling with kids doesn't mean giving up the easy, walkable side of staying near Corydon Avenue. Between a neighbourhood park with a playground, a gelato stop, and a few relaxed places to eat, there's enough within a short walk of the Corydon/Crescentwood Airbnb to fill an afternoon without loading everyone into a car.

Peanut Park (Enderton Park)

Peanut Park, officially Enderton Park, is a two-acre pocket park at 11 Ruskin Row in Crescentwood, just a short walk from the Airbnb. It has a children's playground, mature shade trees, and a walking path that loops the park, making it an easy stop to burn off energy before or after a meal on Corydon. It's free and open year-round. Read our full Peanut Park guide for its history and more on what to expect.

A gelato or juice break on Corydon

For a treat that's easy with kids, Eva's Gelato & Coffee Bar at 1001 Corydon Ave and Nucci's Gelati at 643 Corydon Ave both serve gelato along the strip.

Relaxed, kid-friendly meals

Corydon's mix of casual restaurants makes it easy to find something that works for picky eaters. Pizza is always a safe bet, Santa Lucia Pizza at 905 Corydon Ave and Tommy's Pizzeria at 842 Corydon Ave are both casual, sit-down spots. For something simpler, Tim Horton's at 949 Corydon Ave is a familiar, no-fuss option if the group needs a quick, low-key stop.

Keep an eye out for Little Free Libraries

While you're walking, watch for Little Free Libraries small book-exchange boxes tucked into front yards throughout Crescentwood and nearby neighbourhoods. They're a fun, free stop for kids to pick out a book to read during the trip; see our Little Free Libraries guide for more on how they work.

Good to know: Everything above is within an easy walk of the Corydon/Crescentwood Airbnb, so a family afternoon here doesn't need a car. Bring a stroller if you have one (the sidewalks along Corydon and around Peanut Park are stroller-friendly) and check current hours before heading out, since seasonal hours can shift.
