What visitors say
★★★★★
“We loved this park. We took the detour and were glad we did! They have a new playground with tons of lil things. The slides go fast! There's mommy and me swings too. And the skate park is fun for Littles to see and play if it's not being used. Lots of murals and tags as well…”
★★★★★
“Had an awesome time stopping in here while passing through on a road trip. My son enjoyed the skate park on his glider bike, especially the bowl! We all enjoyed sitting in the shade for a picnic lunch before getting back on the road.”
★★★★★
“Not absolutely horrendous but not great either. Pretty sure we saw a drug deal go down in the skate park and it looks like homeless might live under the ship at night. My son didn't notice either and enjoyed running around climbing.”
★★★★★
“Included is a big playground for kids, a baseball field and a skatepark. Bathrooms are usually locked, water fountain doesn't work and there's no shade at the skatepark to sit in.”
