Had lots of fun here a couple years ago. It's still fun to go to sometimes because it's so peaceful and nice most of the times. Also there is a Pokemon Go gym here for any interested. Love this place from all of my soul.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families seeking a quieter playground experience with multiple age groups, as it offers various equipment sizes and basketball courts. However, parents should be prepared for worn facilities and uneven surfaces that may pose trip hazards for toddlers. The peaceful atmosphere makes it ideal for relaxed visits, but don't expect pristine conditions.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Water features shut off after Labor Day, so visit earlier in season for splash play
⏰Watch for uneven ground surfaces that can be trip hazards for small children
🎟️Basketball rims may be missing - check current status if older kids want to shoot hoops
πŸš—No bathroom facilities on-site, so plan accordingly

β€œPlayground (Swings,slides) is good. Basketball rims is NOT there (that why I rated 4 stars) Basketball rims need to be back up asap for the hoopers (Mayor/Governor said rims is gonna be up on july 6 and its past that!) Park is good.”

β€œFor the area I was about disappointed with the way the playground was kept. It’s always bushy,sprinklers are never on and there isn’t a bathroom for kids present. Also the ppl in the area DO NOT DISCIPLINE NOR TRAIN their kids. Their kids would push an entire bicycle down the slide without caring who they would hurt and they would be ok with it”
