It's a small but cute park close to where I live. Decently maintained during non-winter season. There is a small children's playground and a picnic table with gazebo. A small trail in the wood is also located behind the park. I go there sometime for a small walk. I have recently noticed homeless people made their home into the tree house that the park have. They seem harmless though.

Great out-of-the-way small park. Must park on street to get to. We parked on Miller Ave. Very steep, concrete walk way up to the park. It has nice playground equipment, dirt/grassy pathways, pergola with tables and our favorite was the platform built around a tree. Three stars due to the steep walk up.

This whimsical park sits upon a hill and has lots of unique features. The play structure is one of my favorites in town and suitable for 1-5 year olds. There is a gravel path that leads through an old building site, a wooded area, a tree fortress, and back to the play structure. It's a perfect starter "hike" for littles. There's plenty of shade. There is occasionally garbage around, so please pick up after yourself. Parking is limited to a side street and the park entrance is on the other side so be careful crossing. Special features: Entrance arch Ruins/rubble Tree fortress with hanging bridge Wooded area Stump bear Tee-pee and arch tunnel Walking path Play equipment: Slides: 1 spiral, 1 double curve Swings: none Climbers: 1 web, 1 curved slats, 1 c-ladder, 1 chain ladder Extras: 2 driving wheels, tunnel, mirror Amenities: Gazebo Parking: limited street On-site water: yes, pump On-site bathroom: no

There are powerful Pokemon in Benton Hill Park and some very ridimentary trails that you can always follow downhill to escape safely. Sandwiched between an Eco Village and a landlord who prefers terf grass. Great place for legal vibe raising activity.
