I would give it 5 stars but the freaking bathrooms are closed because they're "out if order". But I watched park maintenance crew member open the bathroom for some random women and I asked her if everything worked inside and she said yup! I asked if there was any vandalism on the walls and she replied nope! So yeah, what the heck guys, open the gosh darn bathrooms!

Beautiful Park. Dedicated walking trail or you can cross the road and use the hilly park as a more demanding walk. Multiple play areas, Disc Golf, Horseshoes, Pirate Ship on water. There is something for everyone.
