"Small, kid-friendly park surrounded by trees. Lovely setting, lots of play equipment, few benches and picnic tables, and a paved path that loops around the park. Limited parking and a porta potty available. One covered pavilion where the few picnic tables underneath."

"What a great park. I love the big field and variety of structures to play on. There is also a walking path. I do not care for the derelict toys left around. Many are broken and dirty. It was great to see so many miss at play during our time here. There is a lot to do here. I encourage others to stop by with our without kids. There are also tennis courts and basketball. Fun for all ages."
