Very beautiful park, although my grandson had his T Ball practice there, and we were running into a lot of dog poop. So maybe they could add doggie bags and garbage that might help with that. Also, I think it would be nice to add a TBall field for the little guys and some nicer stands that are covered for us grandparents/ family that come to watch. Love the park and a beautiful trail to walk on. it just needs a couple of minor adjustments . I don't know about restrooms. Hopefully, they had some.

This is a quiet little pocket park. No restrooms. But it is original to the neighborhood when built. Lots of shade trees. Used to take my daughter here to play - now we live in the area - it's a safe, established and well maintained place to rest.
