I first brought my kids to this park over 30 years ago and have recently been bringing my granddaughter here. The improvements are wonderful and the playground equipment is first rate. Love it that the creek has been cleaned up and is readily accessible. A great place for kids!

Clean. The grass, around equipment, is an artificial turf. The swings, gazebo, slides, are in excellent shape. There is a creek nearby. Keep watch. The little one, may wander away, being curious. Bathrooms and covered tables. Trash cans and tennis courts.
