Awesome park. The playground is great, they have one for older kids and one for younger kids. There are some medium sized rocks for rock climbing, tennis courts, a paved walking trail, swings and more. The restrooms have been clean when I was there. The parking lot is pretty big. I would definitely recommend this park.

Absolutely the best park we've been to. Lots to offer with different structures, swings, climbing, musical instruments, play spaces, and a splash pad. My kids could spend all day here!

Such a fun park and I would give it 5 stars but I have a “runner”. There is no fence enclosing the playground or the incredible splash pad. And everything is pretty spread out, lots of blind spots. There are swings, slides, lots of things to climb up and an awesome splash pad. If you have more than two little kids, I suggest bringing another adult to help you wrangle them. It’s a very busy park and MANY ways to escape. Theres also a pond where you can feed the ducks or fish. Large open area for sports like soccer or football. There’s also a basketball court. Bathrooms too.

Probably the funnest, safest park to take our little dude. It's not right next a busy road like almost every other park in the city. There's so many gyms for the kids to play on, and courts for lots of sports. It's our go to whenever we go out.

My little boy is autistic and this was a great park for him. It had a lot of sensory touchy feely items and music toys for him to interact with. Multiple ways for kids to climb the equipment and various size play rocks to climb on. They have several types of swings including regular, bucket swings and ones for kids with special needs. This is a huge park and has a fun splash pad for the kids that is themed like a pirate ship.
