It's not a bad park BUT they're toliets are HORRENDOUS. 2 toliets both female and males are overfilled to the brim with toliet paper and poop. There's only 1 toliet that works and it's barely holding onto dear life. The playgrounds are nice there's about 3 total 1 for babies, another for toddlers and one last one for mid teen kids. I honestly found the park to be nice and calming but those bathrooms are disgusting somebody needs to get them flushed out because it's atrocious.

Great park! They have a great toddler area with a play set for very small kids. There are two play areas. The bigger kid area is great, it has a shade cover. There is also a rock climbing area, swings, lots of slides and ample benches. Covered picnic areas and lots of grass. There are well maintained tennis courts, volley ball court, and a nice walking trail throughout. This park is very peaceful!
