Please be careful with your pet running up and down the hills. They are full of crickets. My goldendoodles paws and legs were covered in prickets

The sprinkler park is awesome. Perfect way to spend a sunny summer day without traveling far from home. The playground itself was decent, nothing special. There is also a dog park, tennis courts, and many baseball fields.

Good park. Pretty clean. Nice to walk around and watch some softball and baseball. Playground for kids, or adults, no judging. Community garden is starting to bloom and adds a nice touch. Plenty of open space and picnic tables. I wish there was a water feature.

I have been coming to this park since I was a kid. I played baseball, all types of sports with my friends and now take my children here too. The playground equipment has changed over the years and I see the lights in the park are now LED. I would like to see the sidewalks updated and the tennis courts as well.
