Small kids park better for younger kids. Has a water feature that is nice in the summer. Bathrooms are right off the playground. Playground is close to parking. Giant grassy field behind playground. Limited covered areas and a few benches. Usually not very busy.

Nice park to play, run back and forth from splash pad to playground on hot summer days. This park is well kept and kids have lots of fun when we come here. The other side of the park has exercise equipment haven't tried so not sure of the condition.
