S. Perez· 6 years agoThis community park is wonderful and well kept! Any prior comments about no restrooms aren’t true because right outside the main building there’s a pair of unisex fully set restrooms AND they’re UNLOCKED !
Jon Cooper· 3 months agoOutdated and old equipment. The East side has better equipment and appearance. Would update when park gets a face lift. It has alot of space for more potential.
The Gr8 Life· 5 years agoGreat place to play Tennis, Basketball or One-Wall or 3 wall handball or Racket ball, with a total of 6 courts. A great family atmosphere with outside bathrooms
Tony Garcia· 7 years agoThe kid's play area and all five racquetball courts are new and clean.
