"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."
