What visitors say
★★★★★
“Nice park for a jog. There’s always traffic on the street but it’s not too bad. Not a lot of people around lunch time. I would definitely run here again.”
★★★★★
“I went to this park on 6.12.21, about 10:30 a.m.. I went to relax in the shade and read. It was pretty mellow, some activity on one side of the park.
Park is well maintained, found a nice spot under a tree. I really enjoyed.”
★★★★★
“The skate park is nice, gets a good amount of people. The rest of the park leaves alot to be desired. I get that the park is extreme but when your toddler can't get on the slide on their own because all the ways up are either climbing, or balancing, etc. It could get annoying.…”
