“Beautiful park, lots of places to picnic, walk, exercise, play basketball, handball or tennis, has a couple playground areas for kids, and there's a community building, where I assume classes are given. I wonder if they rent the building out, as well. It would be cool, if they did. I'm just disappointed that I had to avoid broken glass as I walked from my car in the parking lot to the first covered picnic table area. There was also some trash under the picnic table, but, honestly, not much. It's a gorgeous, peaceful park for me to take a lunch break at this afternoon. I would definitely come here again.”
