The park is undergoing a total renovation and it's looking really good! They have replaced the very old basketball hoops, they're placing an area for swings and a jungle gym structure is also starting to take place. The canopy looks fantastic; there are sidewalks connecting all areas and benches throughout. I can't wait until the whole thing is finished.

Our favorite park right now! The play structure is suitable for younger kids, plus there are swings, a basketball court and a walking path to keep all ages entertained. The pavilion is on the newer side and provides a perfect spot to sit and eat. Plus, there is a decent bathroom facility.

Really well taken care of and modern park! The main shelter area is very nice and appears to have been recently built! The park is very we lit at night to the point where I never felt uncomfortable walking through there! Highly recommend checking this place out if you are looking for a new park to bring your family to!

It's not a huge park but it has a playground that will open any day now. Also a basketball court and a baseball backstop. There is a bike path of sorts that starts there too. When I ran through at 845 there was a couple making out on a bench so it seems like a happening spot!

Excellent place to play basketball, but one hoop is set lower for younger children. If there was a way to easily adjust it the park would be 5 star to me!
