“Great low-key park in a residential neighborhood. Overall, this park has all the amenities you need in a park. The only drawback that stands out is the grass areas in the baseball fields. Lots of uneven ground and potholes, it's very easy for someone to get injured. Can the city possibly smooth out the dirt areas and install grass that will make it look appealing and safe?”

“I love this neighborhood park. Usually quiet until the kids play games/practice on the fields. Not the cleanest but definitely well kept park. A parking lot and plenty of unrestricted street parking available. On the north side of the park, I've seen a rise in tent campers over the Last year, but as long as you're smart, the homeless are pretty harmless.”
