rebecca christian· a year agoThis is a horribly dangerous park !! The red and tan play ground has open sharp metal
Lindsey McQuillen· 3 years agoThis park is so dangerous. That see-saw needs to be removed. My 10 yr old daughter fractured her cheekbone and now has to get plastic surgery to fix it.
Itay Seith· 3 years agoI've loved this place over five years! The park has a shaded playground & picnic tables, two tennis courts, two grass football/soccer fields, & plenty of parking! Dogs are welcome. NO PUBLIC BATHROOMS! The construction of a NEW Police sub-Station is completed. The new neighbors have helped increase this neighborhood park
Heidi Croucher· 6 years agoIt's a cute little park! My kids love it! ..... but am I the only review that notices the smell? I'm here now for the first time... And the smell is IMPOSSIBLE to get used to!
Christine Gray· 7 years agoSimple but wonderful little park. My daughter loves all the playground equipment. It's a little worn down, but that's to be expected. It's a nice place for an afternoon play break since it's mostly shaded.
