πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great park with a uniquely fun playground area for the kids. Lots of tunnels, bridges, and non-typical playground type adventures to be had in an area rather secluded from much of the open space and trails that compromise the remainder of the park. There is also a nice and fairly new commercial grad...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ It's a simple park. It's basically a green space for whatever. There is some hidden playground equipment south of Friendship Street and a much larger green space for baseball or soccer. It's nice to have such a large space as a park in the middle of residential.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ It's a small park. It has a small playground for the kids and also a full basketball court for an older crowd. Feel free to bring your pets but just remember to clean up after. There is a railway line that passes right next to the park. It's fenced but just make sure go keep an eye on the kids.
