This park has so much space. There can easily be several birthday parties here without any issues with space; its in a nice neighborhood as well. While I was there, a family was having their reunion and had a large tent, at least 50 chairs and a jumpy house and there were still like 8-10 other families BBQ'ing. And to top it off there is a water park for kids to enjoy on a hot day, as a mommy of 5 that's my favorite part. If I would change anything it would be the woodchips on the playground, because it makes my kid's eczema flair. There's also quite a bit of parking space around the perimeter. Highly recommend this park. You should check it out!

LOVE THIS PARK! Ball field, play ground, splash pad/spray ground and lots of room to run. Would be a great place for a child's summertime birthday party. There's buttons to push to get the water to come on, but if the water isn't testing inside an acceptable range for chemicals and contaminates, the water won't come back on till it's back in range. it won't come back Doesn't have a functioning bathroom at the moment π

This is such a beautiful park with lots of green areas to enjoy various activities, alongside a nice playground/recreation area for kids. There are no bathroom facilities that are in working order though, and this is a huge issue for people of all ages and abilities. There used to be HoneyBuckets here a year ago, which leaves a lot to be desired, but those were preferable to this semi-permanent, metal bathroom structure that is out of order. People take issue with public urination and defacation (for good reason!), yet there's a third space play area for children and families with zero working hygiene facilities. Wright, Franklin, Vassault, Owen Beach, etc. have working bathrooms for those that will always need them. Bring the HoneyBuckets back on a frequent subscription so a company will come change them out regularly because this metal monstrosity is worthless. This is a public health and accessibility issue for the community that has honestly gone on for too long at this particular location. You will notice that two are out-of-order with one ADA accessible unit that says "vacant", meanwhile the door is bolted shut. A working toilet is a bigger need than the frequent landscaping

This cute, but smaller park is just right for a a quieter place to hang out with your younger kids... 8 and younger. It's located in a residential area and lots of street parking. Lots of lawn space for blanket picnics. Shade areas, but it's limited.
