★★★★★Featured review by Pierre Asselin

This park is really great for little kids under 7. Probably also great for kids that are older as there are handball courts, basketball courts, etc. But for little kids it's great because there's lots of other little kids, it's relatively flat the swings slides and other activities are great for dinner kids. early morning is not too packed but later in the afternoon in nice days, there are lots of kids that go. They recently updated the water activities in the park. I haven't seen them at work yet. However, they should be very entertaining this summer. They also have public restrooms so you can easily spend the entire day here.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

This playground is ideal for families with toddlers and children under 7, offering excellent play equipment, water features, and amenities like restrooms and parking. Visit on weekday mornings or afternoons for the best experience, as weekends can bring crowds and less family-friendly behavior around the basketball courts.

“Adults not wearing mask and crowding area... the park is a bit run down. I like it as its very toddlers friendly and has a basketball court. Just wish the folks were more considerable towards other Adults. Ps. My kid was not wearing a mask so he can run around... doesn't mean the Adults should since some hovering over the kids. Can't control kids running around...”

“Lovely playground for the kids after school but on the weekends it turns into a different park with people hanging out playing basketball for money and smoking weed on the basketball courts.....not in a children's park please!!!”
