★★★★★Featured review by Travis T

Very nice place to play ball with your friends. They have handball and basketball courts along with a giant field you can set up volleyball nets on Edit: After setting up and playing here for months I’ve gotten so much better. Here is a before and after photo

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older kids who enjoy sports and don't mind a rougher-around-the-edges park experience. The large spaces and courts are great for active children, but expect maintenance issues and plan bathroom breaks elsewhere. Good choice for diverse, community-oriented families who value inclusive play environments.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Bring your own sports equipment - courts and fields are available but may need setup
Plan bathroom stops before arriving or nearby - facilities need improvement
🎟️Expect debris like leaves and branches, especially in spring - not well-maintained
🚗Great for volleyball - large field allows for net setup

Very quiet park. Calm, safe, alot kids children are very friendly. Interracial Hildreth played together with no problems from parents or children. Nice experience.

Very large park with various activity places. Playground wasn't clean. Mid March it was full with dry leaves and broken brunches. Most of the activities and benches are of a long need of a repainting. Def one of the least maintained parks.

We love this park but it definitely needs a new playground and new bathrooms.
