★★★★★Featured review by A T

Awesome clean park. Friendly parents and great kids. Surrounded by a ton of trees so expect and prepare for mosquitos and many bees. Sprinklers going on and off. Swings for babies and big Kids,3 slides and a very clean playground. Much shade on nearby benches. Love this park.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who want a compact, easy-to-supervise outdoor play space with convenient street parking. The small size means parents can monitor from one spot. Sprinklers make summer visits worthwhile. No restroom facilities on-site — plan accordingly, and bring bug spray for warm-weather visits due to the tree coverage.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡No restrooms on-site — plan bathroom breaks before arriving
⏰Bring insect repellent — heavy tree canopy attracts mosquitos and bees in warm months
đŸŽŸī¸Street parking immediately adjacent to the park is generally easy to find
🚗Bring picnic supplies — tables and benches available and no food facilities

“It's a small park, ideal for smaller kids. Parents can keep an eye on their kids from one location. There isn't an unsavory element of people in the park, majority of adults are nice and let their kids interact with others. Parking next to the park is easy to find.”

“This was our first time at this park. Past by it often and decided to go. Small park tucked away. Has swings and 2 playgrounds for kids to climb and slide down. It has 2 tables to have picnics and benches to sit. No restrooms on site. Looks like they have a sprinklers area for the summer time. Gated with 2 entrances. Parking is easy. Have a fun time at this simple quite park.”
