This is one of the best parks I have ever been at. They have cushion turf for their playgrounds and inlet mary go round, swings and things to climb on, special needs glider, a gazebo, basketball court, plenty of space to run and play or maybe even do an easter egg hunt at. There are lots of picnic tables, tennis courts, and an amphitheater outside, with public working restrooms. They also have trash cans every so often. They have wildflowers growing and the bees love it. They have benches and trees. My kids had a good time. I spoke with some other parents that said they had just constructed this park and that there was a water park going to be completed soon, maybe around August. A couple things I saw an issue with was a pre teen boy using a bat to hit the flowers and hastas by the gazebo. I had to tell him to stop and told him that his parents wouldn't like that behavior if they had to pay for the flowers that he destroyed. If this is your son I'd keep a closer eye on him before he ends up in juvenile hall. Him and his friend kept walking around following me, making sounds after I scolded him. The other thing I seen an issue with was a tree that looks like its diseased that may end up falling at some point. I think police need to patrol around here more often so kids who are alone won't think its ok to destroy what everyone is supposed to be enjoying with tax payers money.

Awesome new playground as of 2024!! There’s a great baby area and also a huge area for toddlers, preschool, and young grade school age! Tons of slides and stuff to do!
