This is a lovely little playground close to the water with nice green grass. But at times it doesn't feel especially safe depending on who is hanging around at the lake and surrounding neighborhoods.

This is the nicest park, well designed with experiences for all. I really like how there are lots of shaded spots to sit and watch your child play. The accessible playground is a plus because even small children can proudly find a way to get to an activity all on their own. Pretty views of Prospect Lake and a covered pavilion with several picnic tables too.

Wow!! First, it's accessible to alll kids that struggle with mobility to include play & learn toys/structures for blind children, ramps that get them to all the fun places & musical themed structures with sound! Phenomenal! Nice and big with lots of benches, tables in shaded areas & some grass. Swings, slides and more great stuff. Well-planned to include parking and of course the lake. Great way to spend the day!!!

The swings are broken with sharp worn through couplers that kids keep trying to fix. Someone is going to be hurt either through falling or cutting

I took my special needs kid here, since they advertise "accessible swings". What a joke. I wouldn't put my kid in those swings, shed fall out. This park is in a not so great area of town, and I observed many grown adults "hanging out" blasting music doing who know what, and one who was intoxicated. I do not recommend taking your kids here because of the adult riff-raff and lame playground equipment.
