Nice park. My kids loved playing there.
Great little park with wonderful playground equipment, nice covered area with sturdy picnic tables, outdoor grill, drinking fountain/water container refill station, benches and nice neighborhood.
While not thrilling for adults, I’m this is a wonderful park for younger kids. It’s not overwhelming with lots of things, but has very kinetic, inclusive features. Accessible by all people.
Fun park with toys that are great for 3-5 year olds. Difficult parking situation though.
Very nice park for toddlers, age appropriate fun. No bathroom and parking is limited, but there was a rock wall and tire swing.
