The renovation of the park is amazing. My kids enjoy this playground more than the old one. The sand is gone and more people show up to the park from what I have seen. There are still homeless people hanging around still and the smell of marijuana at times. The bathrooms are closed on the weekends.

Good spot for physical activities. Theres a playground, basketball court, and body-weight exercise machines. There are also picnic tables with BBQ pits next to it.

The play equipment has definitely improved. It looks safer and cleaner and fun. The sand has been replaced by rubber. There is a lot more rope now as opposed to bars.The exercise equipment is really effective on your abs and arms. You just have to make sure you are using it correctly so you dont hurt yourself.The grass is green this time of the year. Sometimes it will be fenced off because it is being treated. It says you cant play soccer, Saturday mornings there might be adults or kids people playing it.The recreation center offers a lot of kids and adult programs.

This is a great park for families to bring children, as well as for young people to play sports, adults who need a quiet and peaceful place to make a pit stop, etc. Theres also a nice flock of pigeons that is a regular feature of the park; I like to show up and feed them sometimes.

Great venue for Tuesdays Food Trucks!!! such open space for people to scatter around. Went there on a Tuesday for the Food Trucks... but I did see lots of people gathered to excercise, running, walking and other sports! Having several entrances to the park, facilitates its access, but definitely advise people for your location... some entrances are just easier to get to the point you want. Although it is nice to cross all the way into the park to see the surroundings!

Review №23

Happy its redone. I just wish they kept the homeless out and actually followed the rules about smoking (weed) and drinking at the park.. Also gating off the grass area because of the damage the soccer games caused, when you have a sign that says no soccer. They arent very good about inspecting the park, found that out after they failed to remove a grill stand and placed a trash can to disguise it. It had rusted jagged edges and my son cut his rib cage on the stand playing tag because he didnt see it behind the trash can. I informed them the next day because they were closed and it was removed. Luckily, hes up to date on shots and the cut wasnt deep.Other than that its a nice park that was long over due for a remodel. Also, its close to my house.
