Very nice park for kids and sports! The park has ample fields for baseball, soccer, football. There is a skate park in the front. The playground was very big and had lots of activities to do. The playground is fenced in fully. Bathrooms are a little bit of a walk, but are actual bathrooms and not portopotties. There is a community pool but is only for members and bathrooms are only for members too. There was plenty of parking and places to sit at the park My 4 year old lots of fun and was there for a few hours without getting bored

Diverse playground that is *actually* good for all ages. Some equipment I have never seen anywhere else. My toddler can be slow to warm up to new playgrounds, but she took to this place right away. There is a public restroom across the parking lot and two separate pavilions with tables. 2024 update: They added a giant spider web for bigger kids. Bathrooms are open only from April 1 - November 1.

Playground is amazing! Kiddie pool at pool is great for my toddlers but the lifeguards are super rude. I felt like I couldn't move without getting whistled for doing something wrong. My husband and I tried to take our 2 & 3 year old in the big pool and there are a LOT of rules .

This park is located across the street from the high school in the south end of town, right off route 10. It is ever evolving and 2024 is no exception. Parts of it are fenced off for construction. Or re-seeding and other projects. There are sports fields, a skate park, a playground and the swimming complex. You can find benches, a gazebo, and flush bathrooms (open for some events). For large events, many people park at the school and walk over. Nearby, you have a bus stop for ct transit and several services for youth.

Even with the pandemic and everything being shut down the park still open. YAY!! There is a sign saying play at your own risk this park is not sanitized. I love that. Maybe one in ten kids right now where masks to play. But everyone is still nice and respectful. They are still adding new things to play with. Absolutely love this playground. It is very big with lots to play on. It does have flushing toilets but there are a little bit of a walk away through the parking lot.
