This is a nice clean park with a few short trails in the area. The park is perfect for a picnic, birthday party, or for a nice walk. You must walk up the hill and check out the trees recently planted by your local nonprofit organization and its supporters and volunteers! Restroom facilities on site (bring your own hand sanitizer).

This place was a surprise. I knew there was a recreation building her but I did not know about the park and its available trail that meanders around the perimeter of most of the park. I parked on the street, so I visited the recreation building for a bit, but there's a drive that goes up a hill to enter the actual parking lot. The park sport restrooms, a playground, picnic tables, and a large grassy area with a slight decline. I was most pleased with the trail that headed up a moderate hill pass a seasonal stream, and up and around the park, until it offers a scenic view from the top of the park. There were benches here and there and trash cans along the trail. It's a nice family park.

Urban walking trails for hikers, playsets for the children and a picnic area without BBQs. A great place to hike if you want to stay in shape. Most of the trails are steep and the area runs adjacent to Fletcher Parkway. There is a recreation center located at the front of the park, but it was closed when I visited. Drinking fountains and restrooms are available.
