My local park is awesome for kids, pets, golphers, tennis, basketball, baseball and camps

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with sports-loving kids and teens who want access to baseball, basketball, tennis and playground facilities in a quiet neighborhood setting. Parents should supervise carefully on the baseball fields due to uneven ground and potholes that could cause injuries.

πŸ’‘Park only from Lake St - pedestrians can enter from Rose Ave
⏰Watch for uneven ground and potholes in baseball field areas
🎟️Expect tent campers on north side but generally harmless

β€œGreat 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?”

β€œI 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.”

β€œA decent recreation center with large baseball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts and a playground. Restrooms are located outside the center building. Parking is from Lake St only, pedestrians can access the park from Rose Ave.”
