Is a great area, pretty clean and safe for children and pets. Many choices for practice sports: runners, walkers or baseball players are welcome here. You can ride bicycle or scooters too.

This was a beautiful and peaceful park. I just sat there enjoying such a beautiful day. It was nice to hear the little children playing and laughing and enjoying themselves as their parents watched over them. There were people playing with their dogs inside the fenced off baseball fields that are there as well. Small little sand area for kids to play in as well. They have a nice little walking area around the park as well. All in all it is a really nice park with only one thing wrong with it. That one thing is the fact that they have no place for a person to use the bathroom.

Beautiful Park that has recently been redone. They have added a wide concrete trail that loops the entire park that's really fun to take. The tail loops back to a few picnic tables with a small grill and a water fountain. It's a nice place to go if you want to get a good walk in and enjoy nature. The parking lot has been also redone and is now fully paved with trees between the parking and the paved path. Good for baseball, walking, has a nice playground, and I think they are going to put the soccer field back.

Really beautiful park. There are trees a canvas canopy giving shade to the playground. There are lots of kids slides and sandboxes etc. The park gets pretty busy but not packed.

I appreciate that things have been redone, but while there are plentiful recycling and garbage bins as well as doggy bag stations and functioning water fountains, there's no public restroom at all. And then, watch out for ant hills, especially after it has rained! I just accidentally paused in one & got bitten today on a little grassy island in the parking lot & then spotted more closer to some picnic tables - 12.14.24.
