Fortress Hill Playground is a historic public park situated on Fortress Hill Road in North Point. Historically serving as the site of the 19th century North Point Battery, this quiet hillside oasis is highly valued by local families for its outdoor children's playground, dedicated space for young children riding balance bikes, and peaceful, shaded green surroundings.
