North Park

North Park is a smaller, quieter park that’s great if you’re looking for something low-key. I’ve spent time here walking and relaxing, and it’s always been peaceful. The park is clean, and everything feels well maintained. It’s not crowded, which makes it a good option if you want a calmer outdoor experience. It’s simple, but that’s part of what makes it enjoyable. A nice local park that’s easy to appreciate.

Really fun playground with zip lines, swings, two climbing/play structures, a concrete slide, and more. There are scattered picnic tables as well as two pavilions. One medium size pavilion is right in the center of all the playground equipment. The larger pavilion is west of the play structures near some open green space. There are lots of tall trees which provide shade on some of the equipment. Much of the playground is surrounded by a fence to keep kids from running into the busy road to the south or the parking lot to the east. There is a public bathroom and working drinking fountains that even have a water bottle fill-up station too. You park in the lot to the east which is shared with the city rec center. There is no street parking. There is a good view of the rec center's outdoor pool play place, so keep in mind your kids might get jealous (mine did). But they absolutely loved the park, especially the zip lines and concrete slide.

This is one of my favorite parks, it has a wide space, mostly fenced, it has a variety of games. It has 2 pavilions to eat or celebrate birthdays and several picnic tables distributed throughout the park in case it's just you and your children. They have several trees that provide a good amount of shade and cool wind on hot days. You have clean bathrooms in the middle of the park and you have a drinking fountain (currently not working). It has a small play area with water, but it is not a splash. I really love going to this park!! Extra, the spaces are wide if you go with a wheelchair and it has some swings with a safety harness.

Needs better upkeep. It’s so dirty now and a lot of things don’t work (water play area, some swings)

This park is great—very well thought out with lots of room to run around for the kids. Has a zip line and a huge hill slide. My kiss are attracted to the zip line and often get themselves hit in the head, but they are learning to look both ways.
