Went there for a end and of the year celebration. Flag football GAFFL ended its season with social distancing. The kids loved the season they was granted with touchdowns, yards, team work and friends for grade school and up. Clean park with a pavilion for the rain. The park with a zip line kids was lining up for

Plenty of room for children to run & play restrooms are usually open. Pet friendly also has an area to walk while children play. Close to numerous restaurants & other businesses.

We got some Swensons and ate it at the park. Its a nice park, playground, shade trees, pavilion and just a cool little place to hang out if you want to spend quality time with your mom. I will add that right now bathrooms are closed and drinking fountains are closed off, which was a mild but necessary inconvenience. Make sure you go to the bathroom first.

Nice park, wish it was a mile around. Police need to monitor people Not cleaning up after their dogs or having them on a leash.

I stopped by here to eat lunch on a beautiful day. Unfortunately, the toilets were all locked. Im not sure if this is due to the coronavirus panic or just routine.

Great park. Picnic tables under a pavillion, along with a few grills for cooking. An awesome playground for the kids, and a dirt path surrounding the entire park for exercise. Great open fields for playing sports. Located right by several fast food restaurants and shopping.

Oddly, areas were cut & others werent. They left mountains of grass throughout the park, making it hard for seniors & The disabled to manage their therapeutic walks. The tables dispersed throughout the park were heavily soiled & littered. I suppose COVID-19 has wreaked its havoc even in these areas.

Would be a beautiful park! Theres a great playground and plenty of tress. But I would never send my kids there alone. In the hour I was there, I saw an obvious drug deal, not to mention all the unsupervised and rowdy kids.
