The 2021 park improvements are a great addition to this neighborhood gathering place. The upgraded park still welcomes leashed dogs. (They're regrowing the grass area for the dogs-only section).There are 2 big playground units with picnic tables, slides, swings and room to explore. When we visited, the softcover track was busy with kids on trikes or just running laps. The park offers library programs and special programs seasonally. It is a cool shady destination with several lush grassy areas for a picnic or for sitting on a park bench. The mural is by David Guinn (Mural Arts artist) across the street from the park.

The renovation was a huge improvement. New equipment has lots of fun stuff for kids, they put in an asphalt track for kids to bike and scoot, and there are still some sizeable grassy areas and benches to sit.

Found this place after going to pho75 with my 16 month old daughter. I've been to many parks around the city and I would say that this one is one of my favorites. The park has a field and a very nice play area of the kids. There are tables where you and sit and watch your kids play. I like this park cause its surrounded by houses and not near traffic in any kind of way. I always see parents hosting birthday parties here and its just nice overall. There is a dirt/sand pit filled with trucks and shovels for kids to play. Additionally there are bikes/toy cars for kids to play with.

Fun little spot for families & kids. Seconds as a comedy club. Get a good laugh & see what's in the public library.

Great little hidden gem. Lots of age appropriate play equipment, no swings. Lots of climbing and slides for younger toddlers and older children. Place for children to ride bikes. Picnic tables and plenty of benches for parents. Grassy areas to put a blanket down to read books. Separate area to walk pets. Lots of trees shade the playground/sitting areas on those hot summer days. So glad we were introduced to this cool playground. My daughter's favorite playground
