Beautiful Park 15 mins walking distance from Wheaton train station.Perfect for kids in summer or even a book read on a pre winter Sunny day. Park is marked with important safety signs and markings for visitors.Ample of benches around to enjoy a snack.Park is fairly clean has enough of parking space.

Been going here all my life. They changed the playground for little children only. The pond still has fish, blue gills and catfish. There is a baseball diamond and plenty of picnic tables for eating. The recent rains in May of 2019 have taken a toll on the grounds

If you have to entertain a toddler under five this is where to go. Perfectly sized gym equipment with plush green surroundings!

Its a nice little park with a nice pond and good place to take kids. A few years ago there was some cars broken into so I suggest keeping items out of sight and keeping car locked.

A cute little place. A nice pond, benches, playground, and bike trail, all of which is very well kept. Not large. Near streets, but just away from them enough to feel comfortable. Good for a break. There are some people who fish here, so I assume the pond is stocked.

Great playground for the kids. Lots of swings, even baby swings. Ages 2+ are safe on the playground. Pound with to fountain. Beautiful view. Calm relaxing play. Lots of picnic tables. Poke stops x2. Gas station that sells everything close by. Dogs allowed

This park has decent playing equipment, a quaint, little ball field, and a good size pond. The park is kept in fairly clean shape, which is one of the best things about it - with the exception of the pond. The pond is almost always covered in algae blooms and one can usually find a good bit of trash that has been thrown in. Its a shame because this spot can be pretty good for fishing early in the season before the algae takes over. Its a safe park, in a safe neighborhood, but the water quality keeps it from being a 4 star park.

Nice, small park for family and kids. You can picnic here and let the small kids play in the playground. You can fish in the pond and feed the ducks. Its right off of Roosevelt Rd but feels private and is quiet.

Great park thats been here since i was a kid...theu have updated it numerous times....my family does wish the park was geared for a larger age range, haf a WATEr FOUNTIAN .... cant wait until the pond improvements are done and if they havent stocked the pond with a variety of fish.....they NEED TO...overall though the park is really great for younger children and beginner fisherpeople
