Metcalfe Park was built on an old quarry landfill and is located at 830 Kingsland.

An interesting fact about this park is that in 1999, MSD was drilling a new tunnel along Vernon Avenue, causing the park to sink 4 to 5 feet overnight.  The park was restored to its original condition by 2001.

This playground was replaced in 2025. It has a play structure for kids 2-5 years old and one for kids over 5.
