Really nice park next to the water. The playground has six areas for different ages with a shaded seating area for parents in the middle. Only downside is that the slide tower is covered in graffiti, the top slide is barred off and vagrants may be using it to sleep in.

Lots of fun playground equipment. The kids could spend all day there if we let them. The downside is that it was very crowded and with all of the play structures spread out, it would be easy to lose track of little ones. I found a lost kid when I was there and helped him find his family.

Love the property and activities but fentanyl is slowly getting out of hand. They smoke it around the kids playground. Not to mention the men who stare at my 11 yr daughter while she trys to play.
