What parents say
"Amazing park. So many amenities for kiddos. Basketball court, and a smaller section for younger kiddos. Each section had a picnic area but they are smaller if you are wanting to throw a party. Lovely secluded area so you’re not worried about traffic or cars. Loved that it is mostly fenced in. It’s right by the rec center and the library so you can make a whole day out of a visit!"

"The parents were nice. The parents or kids didn't stop and stare at if I was an anomaly. It felt welcomed and not like I wasn't supposed to be there. I was so nervous going there at first because of the really bad experience I had going at a playground with my kids in Hudson, Ohio. But this place is great. Huge slides, spacious. They even had a basketball court. I will go out of my way to go here as long as it's like this."
