N1ghtmare C1 (N1ghtmareC1)· 7 months agoUnderwhelming park for my 3 1/2 year old daughter. Rust everywhere, mold on some of the play equipment, and holes everywhere. Looks pretty dangerous, would not recommend
Chris Griffith· 4 weeks agoAnd this is the fenced playground with multiple pieces of equipment a couple of oak shade trees and a canvas roof shade area with picnic tables.
Karen Di Lauro· 4 years agoThe park is really nice and looks relatively new. I like that's it's partially shaded by the near by trees. There also are quite a few shaded picnic tables that are spaced a part. I would have rated this place higher but there are no restrooms. This could be problematic if you have children with small bladders.
Lara Angelillo· 8 years agoThe actually recreation center is old and dirty and the people working at the center are obnoxious and that’s being nice! But they have a fabulous playground with newer equipment and my son loves to play there! Also, one of his friends had her birthday party there last weekend outside near the covered picnic benches and it was a great party! They need restrooms for sure that’s one thing that’s definitely lacking!
Larry Kruhm· 5 years agoThe staff does a great job of keeping the exercise room clean. It is spotless! They don't have a huge variety of machines, but it is adequate. They have a good covid-19 policy of cleaning the machines before and after each use.
