Great park all around. Has tennis and pickle ball courts (2 & 4) respectively. During the week days people seem to congregate around 10am overall. Some great players that play 3 days a week (pickleball). Great players equipment and good size bathrooms. Spots to play baseball as well.

No bathrooms. Nice view. Two slides and a climbing rock. Fun for a short time and small kids. Also a loop that is 1/5 mile, really nice to walk around.

Large COYOTE!! spotted about 30 mins ago. Was with my two small dogs and had to run like I’ve never ran before…. It started coming towards us. Yesterday was good two or three large dogs but today there was no one but a coyote.
