★★★★★Featured review by Diana Thompson

This is a great little playground for little kids, especially preschool/K age. The equipment encourages climbing but nothing is too high. Plenty of bench seating too. Gets full sun all day; no tree canopy.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children ages 2–6. The climbing scale and rope bridge are perfectly matched to preschool and early elementary kids without being overwhelming. No swings on site, so older children seeking that may want to pair this with another park.

⏰Street parking only; arrive early on weekends to find a spot near the park
đŸŽŸī¸No swings on site — combine with a nearby park if your kids need that feature

“Nice, clean park with minimal summer shade. My 4 year old loved the rope bridge/obstacle type course. No swings. Next to a pretty fenced in community garden. Street parking only. Very close to Lidl.”
