Bingham Park is located in the Clifton neighborhood, bordered by Brownsboro Road and Coral Avenue. The address is 160 Coral Avenue. It features a basketball court, playground, sprayground and picnic tables. It has also been the scene of great volunteer efforts, supported by the Olmsted Parks Conservancy, in the last few years. (See this week’s Calendar section for September 9 for another opportunity!)
Check out this video produced by the Conservancy about Bingham and other Olmsted parks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddE47XLVxVw. It runs four minutes and 42 seconds and is well worth a look!
