“Awe hell naw. I went here because the reviews made it look like a nice place for my baby to explore. Apparently those photos were old because this place looks abandoned. Everything was rusty dusty looking. There were no kids there. The neighborhood has become a lot more urban and the park is in the middle of lots of condo/apartment buildings. There’s no swing set. And the slides etc don’t look clean. This playground need some attention. Or maybe just to be replaced.”
