Small neighborhood park, nice picnic tables, plenty of shade trees. , Small playground for kids 10 and under.

Very unique playground that's great for older kids! My 10 yo played on the playground for quite a while, and she's usually bored by play grounds. Plus there's a great sandbox and swings. But there isn't much at all for littles.

I go here often to walk my dog. It's a great place to go in the summer especially when it starts to get too hot because there's a good amount of shade it makes it more tolerable when the temperatures get too high. There's a great amount of places to sit if you need to just relax. Good place if you're older or had disabilities and have to take breaks in between your walking. It's also a great place to go if you want to have a quick lunch at a picnic table on your lunch break from work or whatever. It's a good place to go that's not busy to take a child and a small playground area. It is also scenic if you like looking at older homes. Historic homes

Cool place. Different from other parks in the area. No portajohn on site or it'd be 5 stars.

We were at this park 10 years ago since then they've added these neat little logs to walk around on and a sand area with a new play structure. Love it. The trees this time of year are gorgeous. Perfect weather before we all freeze!
