"Great neighborhood park with playground. Quiet and well maintained. There is exercise equipment, slides, climbing net, swings, and "rocking dinosaur". Immediately next to tennis courts. Nestled in a high class neighborhood between N and S Edgehill streets. Street parking is available, but limited. Watch the signs."
