"Small park but big enough to walk your dog and has a playground for kids. One basketball hoop for casual games as well."

"Cascade Park is great. It's the size of a city block, has a large green field where kids can run and a walking path for their parents to watch from. Nice playground, basketball court, and a couple of bathrooms. There's a garden to the side and a more natural walking path just across from the playground. Overall, not the most interesting but ticks all the boxes."
