"Awesome for kids and families alike with a caveat of either homeless of don't care picnicers who play loud unsavory and sometimes obscene music. An ear shot of toddlers hearing all the swear words including derogatory racial screams :(. Another are sometime an aggressive dog shows up. Always be watchful else it is a great and only park with a community lifeguarded swimming pool!! But mostly well behaved patrons and safe about 85% of the time. Also depends on what time and day. Oh and very soon asof 2023.10.12 they will be opening updated exercise equipment any day now!! Playground for "
