This is a really interesting park. It's very spread out and there were clear attempts to focus on accessibility. There's a wheelchair accessible merry go round, for instance. I like how unique the park itself is. I'm also glad they took into account the weather - everything has drainage for rain. There's seating as well. There's no shade to speak of, which is too bad, and a lot of the amenities are broken and damaged. Some are removed altogether. There's graffiti all over the place and the whole park feels like it has fallen into disrepair and has been forgotten.

Great playground! I love all the different pieces and it is awesome that everything is so spaced out! The slides are perfect and fun! The spinning toys make for something new! The 4 person see-saw was like I've never seen before! Definitely the perfect place to go spend an hour or two!

This park is exceptionally accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Would give five stars but there was profane graffiti and some broken glass. Visited again a few months later, still lots of graffiti and glass.

Awesome playground for wheelchair users. Was surprised at how much trash there was everywhere and the amount of graffitied “dicks” everywhere. Still five stars considering My wheelchair-bound five year old was able to finally use a merry go round and a swing!

Great place to stretch. I brought my nephew here while my sister had an appointment at the hospital. Pretty clean. Fun to run. So beautiful to see wheelchair accessibility for kids on the equipment!!
