My granddaughter loves it here. Safe playground with a fence around it. Wish the fence was a little taller, but otherwise highly recommended if you have little ones.

Nice new large park! When you first drive in there is a park on the left, keep driving back and to the left to get to the newest larger fenced in park. Lots if things for everybody. Nice walking trail path. Sidewalk around the fenced park makes it easy to walk while older ones play.
