What parents say
"Such a great park. Paved parking. Bathroom facilities. Paved walking paths. Semi-accessible equipment; the equipment has ramps but there is a big bump to get onto the equipment, also wood chips aren't terribly accessible to navigate in a chair. There are two playgrounds which are both great. Highly recommend."
