A Quiet, casual and relaxing park. And a great place to hang out with family.

The park looks beautiful and will taken care of, we had a neighborhood meeting there with the number of community and business partners took a walk through the neighborhood and the whole park. Saw improvements that were made and discussed plans for community projects for the park for this spring and summer. Took a tour through the community garden that is connected with the park. When you visit please be kind and take care of the park it's been through a lot lately and deserves your courtesy and care. The kids and the families appreciate your kindness to the area and it deserves it.

Not in a good neighborhood. Sometimes i see some pretty shady people here or lots of loud playing music. But the park is good size, great for jogging and it’s surprisingly pretty clean! I take my son here from time to time in the late afternoon/ early evening. Splash pad is nice In the warm weather but could really use a bathroom or clean port-a-potty.

I live nearby and have to walk dog here. It's seen better yrs. It's usually pretty trashy and broken glass every where now. Along with broken drug pipes amd syringes on any given day. Drug users and homeless have trashed it up. I commend the city for their efforts. But they don't see what I see. Daily. I clean up what I can when I can. Be careful if you bring your animals or kids here.

It could be a nice park if care was put into it. First red flag was someone squatting in the parking lot hanging out of their van with all their garbage everywhere taking up two parking spots. Its a very dirty park. Garbage everywhere! Not enough trash cans, nasty portapotties. And gang signs on the benches where the garden is. Not a nice sight, we won't be coming back anytime soon.
