X MARKS THE SPOT!!! Love the round swing if I had one I would put it in my house and be on it 24/7. I am 34 ... lol but its great for a mother with a babies and older children, mom and baby can sit in the swing and the other children can play. Also great way to get the teens where they can have there space but know whats up, they have 2 playscapes, separate seating area (great for teens) water park basketball court, baseball diamond, as well as tennis courts. Also the hood peeps be coo too mind there own if you mind yours and you aint trying to start no trouble.

I took my granddaughter there and she loved it. It could use more benches and trash cans. I did find a cap to a syringe in the sand by the slides and it makes me wonder where the rest of it was. Hopefully a kid doesnt find it.

Not the best of neighborhoods but the park is clean, has restrooms and a ballpark with a summertime water park. The people are generally friendly and everyone pretty much does their own thing. Forgot to mention the many bbqs and picnic benches.
