This place is amazing! It's very big and there's even a separate place for small or timid dogs. It's tucked behind an industrial park so I didn't even know this thing existed!

This park is amazing. It’s very large and offers a wide variety of recreational facilities, making it especially great for families with multiple children. There are plenty of play areas, as well as designated spaces for parties and barbecues. There’s also a huge dog park, which makes this place perfect for dog owners. The park has lots of open grassy areas, and the surrounding trees allow plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to relax, play, and spend quality time outdoors.

I love this place. I did encounter a really creepy individual that I had to call the police on once, waiting in an area that was around the corner on the path hidden from the open areas so they could not easily be seen. I stopped coming for many years after that as it was such a scary experience. After coming back, it seemed as beautiful as a park as ever but I would still not go alone around sunset or just after it gets dark. It is a wonderful park, in a nice location, but it's good to be mindful that it is still a public area so don't put your guard down if you are alone just because it is beautiful. Always be aware of your surroundings.
