Cute little park with fenced in play area. There are sections for 2-5 and 5-12 year olds. Fun toys and things to play on/with.

This park was really nice. Finding parking wasnt too hard either. It was definitely a nice sized park with activities for everybody. Lots of space to just run around and be a kid. The toddler playground could use a bit more attention but I know with covid everything has been suffering. My 3 year old absolutely loved it, she did not want to leave. I would definitely consider visiting this park if Im in the area again.

This Place Is In A Great Location, It Has Two Playgrounds and Lots Of Slides and Swings. The People Are Very Multicultural and Everyone Is Always Friendly. The Only Reason Why I Am Giving It 4 Stars Is Because This Place Has Sand. SAND EVERYWHERE!! Pearly Whites Soft Thin Sand That Gets Everywhere. I Have To Change My Daughters Clothes and Shoes Before We Enter The Car Because She Ends Up Full of Sand. She Is Not A Child That Will Bathe Herself In Sand But Everything In The Baby Playground Has Sand, The Slides, The Toys People Donate, Everything Is Sandy and Kids Sometimes Throw Sand At Other Kids. Whoever Decided Sand Was A Good Idea Was Super Wrong!

Great playground that is completely fenced in to contain kids. Only downside is lack of a public restroom.

Its a good park for the kids to play in. If it would have been bigger in size it would be good but still its good.

Besides tree torture by pruning for electrical, utility, etc, at the boundary with a parking lot, an ok park, someone(s) trying to get my food I had for lunch by hiding and suggesting leaving some things for them, likely kids skipping, homeless and/or neighbors, still not the left alone in nature Id hoped for. Warmer would have been nice, but not the Parks fault, might have been busier then... YMMV

Nice place to stop and eat lunch. Had the place to myself and turns out the water fountains worked despite being January and freezing at night. Ill try and put up a few photos and video clip, as uploaded... Ymmv

This is a beautiful park. Plenty of safety measures to protect the kids. Fenced playground with firm cushioned surfaces, locking gates that toddlers wont be able to open. Lots of varied play structures suited to the needs of the youngest and the oldest kids, including myself. I am a senior citizen. Lots of benches to sit down to supervise your children. A large sand lot with toys. Often there are riding toys, cars, trucks etc. I think they may be donated. A lot of shade in an area with picnic tables and charcoal grills. A lot of parents and children choose the park for parties. Outside the fenced/gated area is a large basketball court. Beyond is a dog walking area. Sidewalks surround the park. It is always very clean, although I have never seen the wonderful people who clean it. So, THANK YOU to those workers. All in all it is a just a great place. My family has enjoyed it for over 50 years.

Good parking and good structures. Separate play areas for older and younger children. Fencing in makes it very safe. Water fountain but no toilet facilities. Covered area great for kids parties. Also grills and benches for picnics. Attractive planting. Basketball court for older visitors and nice paths for kid trike or bike riding. Separate swings & slides for infants and older kids. Climbing wall. Sand area.

This is a great neighborhood park. There are always lots of kids here and the parents are very friendly. There is a covered area with picnic tables and another picnic area near the trees with grills. There always seems to be enough tables for everyone. Theres an enclosed playground with a structure for older kids and a structure for tinies. Theres also a basketball court, good climbing trees and a large area of grass for playing catch. Its a relatively small park, but it packs a big punch.
