β€œIt’s not the best playground I’ve been to but it has swing sets and slides for the children to play and it also has multiple basketball courts. The basketball hoops don’t have nets though.”

β€œReally disappointed in this park, it's so dirty. We've come here a few days in a roll and the park has never gotten cleaned up. Garbage and scraps are EVERYWHERE, kids are playing near the garbage that's spilling out. It's pretty gross how no one from the city takes care of this park.”
