What parents say
"Good park to take your dog for a walk and to even get a quick workout. Park could use a little more attention to some areas imo but since it’s a city park they have in so many resources to keep it as clean as I would like. Great field size to have some outdoor games and a decent basketball court, restrooms are decent enough but the playground at least from the last time I was there smelt like pee but that’s completely out of the cities control since it is an open park. Overall good park for the area and it’s not really too busy like some of the other city parks."
