“After a long day of sightseeing and visiting the American National History of Museum, it was a great find near our hotel we were staying at. Great place for our boys to expand their energy before and after dinner both days. We would definitely return to the same hotel we were staying as really enjoyed the neighborhood, especially after finding this park and many other nearby parks too.”
