“We are a big fan of the slides at Pumpkin Park! The playground doesn't have the biggest footprint but nevertheless (especially for size) it is full of fun and unique things for kids to play with. Safe, well maintained, beautiful.”

“Wonderful park. Lots of space to run and play. We had a 2 year old, 8, 10 and 14 that day. Everyone enjoyed. Lots of shade.”

“The park playground is completely fenced in with multiple slides and swings as well as an open area with grass. The park is pretty shaded with tree coverage and there are neat features like a pumpkin coach and a xylophone. There are also four tennis courts, sand volleyball and a small basketball court. The park itself is fairly large but the fenced in playground area is smallish (but a nice enough size). It has plenty of benches. A really nice park overall with creative playground features.”
