Awesome park with beautiful river views and a paved walking / biking trail. Playground, bathrooms and lots of space. Dog friendly park, parts unleashed. Worth the stop, and I definitely recommend walking the trail along the river!

The experience was great. I do suggest having an environmental friendly exterminator spray for spiders to assure that no one gets bit. Though no one did, there were plenty of webs under the seats.

Nice park, quiet, new equipment, no trash. It is small but cute. Only complaint there wasn't much my 18 month old could do... but he enjoyed playing with mulch!

this park is super fun but they don't have any normal swings only baby swings. they have a basketball 🏀 court, a little bench area with like 8 or 10 benches with a roof over top but overall this is a great park

Very clean park and everyone was getting along creating a great environment for fun and relaxation. Local police were there but only doing his duties and checking to make sure the park was running orderly as it was
