My wife and I brought our girls at 9:30 in the morning (a Tuesday). The playground has a big kid section and a toddler section. The park is currently getting fresh mulch (July 2024). Size wise it is about a third of football field. There was a group doing Tai-Chi in the Pavillion, which added a nice ambiance with the music.

It’s a really nice park. Very spacious. There are trails and a really big dog park. The bathrooms are clean. Plenty of seating which is Fantastic! 😄 there is also a pavilion and grills if you want to have a grill out session. The equipment appears pretty new-ish. My kid loved it. We’ll definitely be back!

A park with 2+ mile paved trails, plus some additional unpaved trails, mostly under tree canopy. There are two parking areas. Both has a big picnic shelter and bathrooms. Play structures were only available at one side. Play structures is 100% under the Sun.
