Update: They've planted new Trees!! It's a wonderfully located park and there is a good amount of equipment, and there are a number of trees. So, we will continue to go there when we don't want to travel. However the park needs a lot of updates. Equipment needs TLC, trees need to be replaced, flooring around the equipment needs to be replaced, basketball court needs repaving, sprinkler is also very inconsistent in the summer, re-painting needed in the water play area, water fountains do not work. Garbage pick-up is lacking (and shame on park-goers who don't pick up). A few extra trash cans might help. There are also, waaay too many people right after school let's out. But during the day (before 2pm) it's nice enough.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families with children of all ages who live nearby and can visit during off-peak hours. The playground offers solid equipment and summer water play, but requires vigilance due to maintenance issues and occasional safety concerns. Visit before 2pm on weekdays for the best experience.

“In spite of what some pictures look like with liter; overall, the park it's in a nice decent neighborhood; people are friendly, and most are smiling; and it's just one corner away from a shopping area, that perhaps extends to three to four long blocks. Hint: the park is right next to a children's public school; so if you want some bit of quietness, school hours are not preferred.”

“Nice park that has some basketball/handball courts and a playground with swings. During the summer they have a water fountain for the kids, and 2 drinking fountains. The courts are run down and not well taken care of.”

“There are good enough tools for children to play. My boy played over an hour securely. He enjoyed a lot. However, a responsible person came and requested to give a break for only five minutes then the children can continue to play for one of the slide. After 10 minutes when my boy went back to that slide, he had blue paint in all his hands. They painted and they neither informed us about it nor put any warning sign. Otherwise, it is a great place for children.”
