"We just live four doors away. I must say that whenever my grand sons come over to visit - its the first thing they want to do. The park is very nice, safe, kid-friendly, spacious and clean. The adults can enjoy knowing their little ones will be having fun while being safe. There are many benches to relax on & soak up the scenery or we like to take a nice walk on the walking trail that is well kept. My only Cons would be more parking and to add a Caution light and/or stop signal. My eldest grandson just got hit while riding his bicycle across Fenwick Rd to the park. Thankful only a broken an"
