Cute, clean, cleverly-themed little park. It’s my 5 year old’s new favorite place in town. Took off a star because it needs maintenance. They’ve removed a piece and have boarded up the openings and left chains attached to the floor in one area and the monkey bars are too rough to grip due to being a weird material that has eroded from the elements. The neighborhood it’s in seems safe and there were lots of kids playing last time we were there which for us is always a plus.

Nice park! My Grandson had a ball game there. Good time for all!!
The park is like a jungle theme. They have this one swing you can lay down on, my 3 year old loved it, stayed on it for half on hour. Nice location, just happened upon it when i was trying to avoid the construction by the college. It has a small walking path that leads to the baseball fields. All in all, I will be back!
I would take my young nephew here. There are several options as far as playground equipment is concerned. There are several different sports fields as well as tennis courts. The grounds crew keeps the equipment and grounds in great shape. There is a path and a shack with restrooms and a water fountain. I often see people walking their dogs and playing catch. This is not a dog park though.
