This is our favorite park. Unfortunately the last time we visited there were used condoms on the ground and the bathrooms were out of seat covers. My family has been going to this park for 5 years. I’ve never seen it this bad. Bummed out. But we will be returning. Hope it’s cleaner this time. It’s a great park.

I used to love bringing my daughter here. The smaller structure was great even when she was teeny and just learning to climb & slide. Friendly moms, etc. The only real con is how hot the slides and swings get. But the last time I went? HOMELESSDUDESLEEPINGONTHEGROUNDRIGHTNEXTTOTHETODDLERSTRUCTURE. Gross. And, the«security» guys drove right by and didn’t even see it. I had to flag them down and tell them about it. And in general, since the transit station opened up there have been waaaaay more weirdos loitering near the playground. No thanks.

Great park! It’s clean and it has plenty of room for kids to play. Partially gated so it makes it easier to keep eye on the kids.

Massive playground area for kids ages 2 and up. Ground is a mix of sand and padded flooring. Tons of places to climb and run, but only one baby swing and two kids swings. A large tree provides shade in the late afternoon and there are benches and tables nearby for comfort. It’s easy to keep an eye on the kids while sitting down. Area is fenced in but there is still access to the parking lot.

This park is nice. If you miss the entrance you’ll have to do a few u turns to get back to the entrance. It’s by a church so don’t get confused like I did about where the park was. Sort of small but I liked that the structures were shaded.

Big park with lots of areas to play. The play structures are better suited for ages 4 and up. You can’t always see your kids because the structure sort of wraps around, which is a bummer, but there’s plenty of seating and shade.

This park is clean, plenty of area to play & safe-has rubber mat around the play area not all sand. There is a place for younger children to play and area for older kids, 4+. Plenty of trees that gives shade when sunny; Nice breeze comes in the park. Plenty of parking but it can be full when there is a special occasion but there is an additional parking accross the street.

Just found this park and it’s a gem. It has a lot of trees, so there is some shade, sand, and separate play structures for young children and older children. The older children play structure is quite large with a lot of slides and climbing structures. I really like the trees around as it provides more shade than what you normally find in other parks. Surprisingly, not too crowded either. There’s plenty of parking.

Great place for Little League! And great park. For being so huge, it is relatively un-crowded on the weekends!

It’s a fun park for the kids to play at. Wish there were more seating for the parents. Restrooms are readily available so that’s really nice but it is a public restroom so you get what you get.

This is a large residential park with lots of stuff — large community center, large all purpose field, a regular size baseball field, a small baseball field, small basketball court, and a good size playground. They host community events here all the time, great for kids. There is also a recycling drop off area for clothes here as well! The only negative is there are not as many gazebos as some parks to host multiple outdoor parties.
