★★★★★Featured review by Tanner Godfrey

Beautiful park! Plenty of shade and fun playground equipment. Bathrooms available. Skate park was awesome - although it looks like it may be used more for 3 year olds’ monster trucks. Baseball field and cookout/picnic areas available. Park felt safe and well maintained!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This comprehensive park works well for families with varied interests, offering playgrounds, splash pad, skate park, and sports facilities. Best suited for visits after 11am to avoid maintenance activities and ensure restroom availability. Families with children of mixed ages may find the playground design challenging.

There is a Water Playground/Splashpad here. On a hot day, great way to cool off. The bathrooms are nearby and clean. Plenty of places to bring the doggos also.

It looks a like a great place but it has a strange gap between big kid climbing and smaller kid play structures. There is only one slide that only a bigger kid can climb to. The dmaller kid stuff is just a play house. It is unique.
