A fine park with a playground. There is only one tree that casts any shade on the three picnic tables, and it has so few leaves on it in mid-September that I think it must be dying.

Its clean and convenient. We play basketball, frisbee, and walk our dogs here regularly. I love that there are poop bag dispensers because occasionally Ill forget to bring my own and I dont leave my dogs messes around. Also, nice little playground.

Meh. Good open space, thats about it. The playground leaves a lot to be desired especially since it sits in such open (unused) land. I live a block away and take my son much further away for a better playground.

The playground and restrooms are in good shape. Both are clean and relatively modern. What ruins my experience is the lake of apparently unkept sludge that produces an aroma of sewage. Parking is as good as it can be, but alongside a busy road so not ideal for unloading a lot of children.

We enjoyed the swings and jungle gym. The water adds an extra sense of tranquility.

My four year old loved seeing the ducks in the pond and small creek.

We love coming to this park because it is quiet. The pond behind it and the large open field with pretty houses nearby all make for a beautiful setting. My two boys love using the swings and playing on the equipment. The park is far enough from Brandon Avenue that it feels quiet and safe.

First time visiting the park and kind of disappointed. The equipment is geared more for older children. There is one slide I feel comfortable letting my toddlers go down and they have both almost faceplanted over the side. There is no toddler play equipment at all and only 1 infant swing. There is parking but it is only street parking and the roadway is very busy. There is a lot of ground here so plenty of space for my kids to run around. There is also a very pretty serene pond. Overall I feel this location is better suited for older children and I do not recommend bring younger children

Quick and easy fix for the kids who just love being outside. There is a swing set and a couple of slides and a bonus tree for climbers

Fun and clean place to enjoy fresh air and sunshine, even in the cooler temps of winter months.

The main road doesnt take anything away from that peacefulness within the city!

Not only does it have great play equipment for all ages, the natural surroundings of water & woods provide a rest stop for migrating birds & the easily accessible trail is a wonderful adventure for Adults & Children
