M Fam· 8 months agoGrew up going to this park. It definitely needs some sprucing up. Faded paint, old equipment and layers of dirt and stain on structures. Great park if the community does there part to make it pretty again.
Ragga 5 sten· 4 years agoMy son says he feels calm at this park. Shaded benches. It has playground, picnic table, tennis courts, baseball field and batting cage. Toddler area. Sand and spiders were the only things I didn't like.
Lorna Forbes· 7 years agoWell the 5yr old likes parks with sand. The park has swings and ample climbing and lots of slides. We love the swirly slides (spirals). Right next to an airfield so we saw a dirigible aircraft and some small planes taking off and landing but it wasnt noisy.
Amanda Schaefer· 7 years agoVery nice park to play/practice tennis and baseball. Games are frequently held here and this park has a small playground for the kids. The other bonus is this park closes at 10pm and their courts/fields have lights.
