What visitors say
★★★★★“We like to frequent the small skatepark at this location. Grounds are fairly clean. Kids like to leave trash strewn over the skatepark, but other than that its great. Kids being kids to be honest. Always have good interactions with the locals, and the mood is always chill. …”
