★★★★★Featured review by Giovanna Figueroa

I drive about 20 minutes to go here and it's worth it. The playground has 2 sections one for toddlers and another area for older kids. It has swings for big and little kids. It also has sprinkles, seating area and a public restroom. There is only street parking available. Behind the playground is a track and field area.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children of multiple ages who want a well-equipped playground with water features. The separate toddler and older kid sections make it ideal for mixed-age groups. Come prepared for sun exposure and be aware that play can get energetic among older children.

💡Plan for street parking only - no dedicated lot available
⏰Bring sun protection as there's limited shade coverage
đŸŽŸī¸Take advantage of sprinklers during summer months
🚗Public restrooms are available on-site

“So happy they renovated this park and of course my toddler loved it. But for 3.7 million they could have added way more...a merry-go-round, see-saws and a larger new restroom.”
