"Have really liked this park since we came across it when we moved to the city it's in. However, over the past couple yrs we've been noticing the up keeping of the whole park is lacking. It's rather disappointing with how much this park offers and has to do. Otherwise, credit to the city for having such a variety of things to choose to do for all ages!"
