Great hidden gem . this park is great has a lake and a large dog park that usually provides dog waste bags too. Has a pond and plenty of room the fly kites and also a black topped walk way around the whole perimeter. There are tennis courts and basketball courts too.
Cool, Quite and clean park. I recommend going there with the kids or going there for meditation.
Nice little park with an artificial lake full of ducks, basketball and baseball fields and a playground. Plenty of benches and grass. Very nice.
Somewhat clean, concerned as several police there, seemed quite safe – kids loved the mini-hills and ducks, restrooms clean, but on busy Sunday – no toilet paper left
This park has almost everything. A beautiful lake that, in the warmer months, is often filled with geese. It has almost everything a park should. A playground. An old yet functional basketball court. A dog park. A picnic area. There are plenty of places to sit. I’ve also noticed that about 90-95% of the benches have some sort of memorial on them. Great place to bring kids, go for a walk, walk your dog, or just relax. There are also a good amount of trash cans throughout the park, conveniently placed. They also have wheelchair accessible parking.
