Nice park, but parking is confusing. Streets are close together with not much space for parking. Pretty much just a playground and a sidewalk that goes all around.

Not to fancy but not a hazard. Probably one of the few parks with playground that not to much to worry about. Public restrooms picnic area is covered which provides a nice quite place to gather. Also has full soccer field and plenty of grass between playground and road way making it safe for kids to be kids.

The park is nice but be careful of the Bathrooms as any park or place your children play make sure you're on the lookout for things that could harm them. Found a couple needles at the park once and since I've walked the entire park before the kids are allowed to run and play. It maybe a little over protective but when it comes to our children's lives better safe than sorry.

It's a great open, clean area. It would be better if there was an enclosed section that dogs could play leash free. There's not much traffic but I still wouldn't let my dog off leash.

Love it. So peaceful. Safe. Quiet. Clean. My dog can run free at given times, with not so much traffic to worry about.
