We frequent this park for workouts. The whole park is less than 1/10 of a mile long. The parking lot is (obviously) on the smaller side but there are plenty of spots on the street to park. There is a baseball field next door in the elementary school. There are spots for bbqs but would not do well for large gatherings. It is a beautiful park and very well maintained.

Playground: Dated structure but plenty to do. This is one structure designed for older kids, but my toddler was able to do most things. The flooring is tanbark with a rubber ‘road’ surrounding the structure. There were two benches to sit on. ‘Car themed’ playground sponsored by Ford. Bathrooms: One bathroom, I couldn’t go in because of construction. Parking: Free in a parking lot next to the playground. Location: Next to a moderately busy street. Safety: No unhoused, no trash, fully fenced in playground.

This is a smaller park right on Jackson Drive, which is a main street. It's nice here with lots of trees and an enclosed in playground for the tots. I walk here with my dog and we enjoy it. It's always good to have neighborhood parks.

Lovely shaded, cool breezes in this neighborhood park. Kids area has chain link fence. No specific fenced dog area, but many folks strolling with their pets on the walkway. It IS located on a MAJOR street, but the parking lot provides something of a buffer. Plenty of well manicured grassy hillside areas.

The playground area is alright but it's recommended for 5-12 year olds, there are some swings for smaller kids but that's about it for toddlers. The gate is completely missing so the playground isn't technically enclosed. There where 2 people living in their cars in the parking lot, one was by the restroom, the other in a large white van.
