Cute little area, never too crowded here and has a small little walking loop for exercise plus some areas to play catch, kick a soccer ball, etc. There is also a large and small dog park area here too as well! The large dog area has always been friendly to my 4 legged son Angelo, we’ve gone in when there aren’t any little dogs to play with and the owners and overall vibes here are very calm, never have had problems here! Love coming to this park when I’m in the area and have Angelo with me! Check out my lil man’s adventures on insta @Angelotherescue ❤️

The parking lot is not small as many reviewers have mentioned. The park is smallish and the lot is the correct size for it. Also perhaps there was a time there were no bathrooms but there are now and they are well maintained. This is a good neighborhood park. It's not a place I'll probably go back to but if you live close its great. Football size field of grass, all the typical park amenities. There's also a hill path that is pretty narrow and not part of the park but worth the climb if you want to burn some calories. I would have made it to the top but it had rained hard the morning of the day I went and me and the dogs were just getting too muddy so we turned around. Right rear corner of the park to get to it. Recommended for nearby park hunters.
