It was clean and beautiful and seemed to have a perfect spot for everything. There was a playground with a swing for handicapped people and a little shelter to sit and talk in. There were even soccer nets up so there were kids playing there too. We just walked around a few times to be out in the nice weather but I would definitely go again with my nephews and nieces.

It was nicely set up and very empty, but the water quality was kinda nasty and kids were complaining about it.

This is my choicest park. We have our family and church events here every year. Beautiful play ground for kids. Beautiful water fountains and a lot of space for soccer, basketball, etc.

Open atmosphere, wonderful playground for children 2-12. Covered picnic tables with clean restrooms. Open fields, basketball courts, baseball diamond and water fountain play area that is appropriate for all ages. There is a gazebo in the middle to allow parents to sit back and watch activites of their children. I find that spot very tranquil yet perfectly positioned so I can keep an eye on all my children.

I really like this park. Splash pad for the children. Nice playground as well. Lots of open area for the children to run around and play. Plenty of benches to sit and read. Lots of trees. Grills. Shelters with tables and benches for crafts or eating. Basketball courts. Plus exercise equipment. What more could you ask for in a neighborhood park.

This park is great. It brings joy to my face to play and coach soccer with kids here in the summers, and even though the mens bathroom is locked half the time and that struggle is real, its just a wonderful place.
