Reviews
Nice park but drug dealing around it makes for a risky location.
Day camp there this summer seems well supervised
Too many things go on in the area itself not a safe place for kids
Everything as far a park itself goes it nice and nicely kept up. However everytime I’ve gone there’s always been just adults hanging out by playground chillin and drinking or whatever. Sadly it could be good but just not safe for adults and def not kids.
Fun splash pad for kiddos, the play ground next to it is fun too. Benches all around the splash pad are fine. Bathroom was kinda gross though.
Really nice park looks like lots of kids play there, can’t wait for them to turn on the water park so I can bring the kiddos out there to play in the water!
