Great place to gather. Saw youth being coached. I felt so good and proud etc. Seeing that man teaching fundamentals. Friendly. Multiple Basketball Court. Land for free play. Etc. I should give 5 Stars but I didnt see a Water Fountain.

Tennis courts, basketball, and a large green field for your four-legged friends. Right next to the library, a great spot for those beautiful summer afternoons.

Its so sad i grew up in this neighborhood I have seen it go down horribly i see trash everywhere glass unkept play areas for the kids we spend so much in city taxes we have all these city employees that dont look as if they are doing there jobs i see more city employees drinking outside the park than i see cleaning the park i came out there personally with my own cleaning supplies and was turned away!! These politicians always want our votes but they do nothing when they get them! It doesnt matter left wing right wing their all apart of the same bird! This is the only place some of these children have to play , If anything i hope this at least starts a conversation

Went to the pool here and had a great time! Its smaller than the other city pools weve been to, but the ample shallow area is great for kids. About half the pool is 3-4 feet deep. No amenities - bring your own chair if you want one!
