Very nice park to explore. If your exercising, letting the kids play, bringing the dog to meet new furry friends, its a great park.

Nice small playground and field, with limited shade. BREC needs to understand that shade is extremely important for playgrounds. The playground is good for little kids, but it's intended, so adult supervision is required. The adjoining historic cemetery makes for an interesting visit as well. Note that this neighborhood park has no restrooms.

Great fenced in off leash dog park with two sections. There’s also a nice paved trail around the park. You can walk on leash. There are restrooms, but I didn’t use them. The local people and local dogs are very nice. I met several.
