Although their playground is larger than most in the area it seems as though the crowd that attends don’t know how to respect other. Between adults just bringing large barking dogs with no kids of their own to children running around swinging sticks. It seems as though if you want your child to be safe this is not necessarily the best park to attend unless the kids are in school.

A lot of shade. Plenty of picnic tables. Nice place for a picnic, that's why we went.

Always a relaxing place to let the kids play. Plenty of playground equipment, a few sports fields, and a skating park on premises.

Great spot for family and friends with the basketball hoops, skate park, playground, baseball field, soccer and hockey field and my favorite part is the picnicking area with little grills and picnic tables but bring your sunscreen and bug spray it does tend to get a Little buggy some times.the only problem I had is that I wish they would touch up and reopen the bathrooms and water fountain.

I love the idea of the dog park and how its fenced in and the doors latch but there is nothing for them to really do, there should be more for them to do

Love this park. Has a walking trail, skate ramps, and playground equipment for all children's ages. Been stopping by since I was a kid, it is kept up well.

Very nice park with lots of free parking. People enjoy walking their dogs there (and regularly clean up after them). Park is also free and has paved pathways to walk on. There is no working restroom there, though

Nice path that winds between ball fields. Sidewalks desperately need love unfortunately which is why it's 3 stars. Cracks, crumbling concrete, VERY bumpy if you're riding a bike/board/scooter. Skatepark needs a face lift, but usable. Restrooms weren't open and saw some kids have their time cut short at the park because of the lack of a bathroom. There's a community garden which is awesome and is active. Love seeing people tending to it. Just needs some love and it could be a great park.

It's a great beautiful park, but won't be bringing my kids there to often. I'll just say reason why I left first time ever bringing my daughter is because she almost got hit in the head by a car flying down the slide the kids were throwing their cars/toys down the slides and of course parental supervision, HAHAHA If you call let's bring them to the park not bother watching what they're doing just so we can sit and BS parental supervision ok. I took my daughter and left before my mouth got me into trouble.

They need to work on the walkway around the park, it's a nice place to walk to get your exercise, but there's so many breaks in the tarmac somebody could trip and get hurt

We brought my 4 yr old lil man here today and played on the playground all the way to the right if your looking at the road. Seeing how the other one was a little busy
He had a blast. It was very clean and well kept. I will def be bringing him back for sure.

Great place but today my wife fell and broke her leg. Her femur and her leg was twisted and she was in alot of pain. It was really bad. The ambulance came. There were some weirdos there the were filming us and trying to hide it at first. They staired at us with their young children and their phones out like a bunch of dopes. Instead of leading the kids away. Bad parents and just strange people to want to film a woman down in the mud and screaming in pain. But again the park is great.

This is my daughter's favorite park because there's always kids to play with. The park has plenty of slides and swings for the kiddies, rarely has litter and also has a small skate park for older kids. The parking lot is full of traffic and hugs the playground so keeping an eye on your child at all times is a must. I was unable to locate a drinking fountain or restroom so I always come prepared for that.

I've been playing football and baseball at this park most of my life. Now I just visit to watch or bring the kids to the park. Still a great place for everyone, just needs a little cleaning and people to take responsibility to clean their own messes up. Still had a blast with the family at the playground though.
