I LOVE this park! It is a great place to start the day as you're likely to catch a beautiful sunrise. I come here to relax and walk. I'm not able to walk fast or very far without stopping a minute to reboot, as my OLD softball body adjusts to being older 😆. I choose to walk here for the beauty and ease of the trail, the friendly people I meet every time I come here AND because there are ample park benches to rest on. I love the inclusivity with the sign language guide at the children's area. The playgrounds look so fun 😁. I always swing for a few minutes while I'm there.

Great dog park. Been part of our lives for years. Well maintained and supplied. Good for either walking around a track or letting the dogs wrestle/fetch/run in the middle field. Very friendly crowd with more than a few regulars. My dog and I always look forward to coming.

Great park we use daily but NO support from parks and rec with aggressive animals toward people. There’s one girl who has a dog that has aggressively ran at me and backed me up against the fence 6 times now until she gets it off me. Parks and rec tell me to instantly call animal control that is not open many times I am there or on weekends. Call and leave a message they say with no response. I shouldn’t have to leave because of one aggressive animal that has something against me when we get along with everyone else.
