Reviews
"I really enjoyed going there had a wonderful time had a marvelous lunch and the people were so nice and they treated you very special"
"Cute park. Has restrooms and a splash pad with a little work out area next to it. Good for the littles and older kids. Not a very shaded area but it does also have a basketball court."
"Park has a nice variety of playground equipment and a splash pad."
"Had lunch with a friend and noticed unsupervised young kids running around. As a inner city park there should be police just in case. We feed 2 youngsters they were hungry and no parental units around. But the park was clean and picked up no trash on the grass or walkways. Next tine we will bring more food. Bless there little hearts."
"My Great Niece Jayla and Great Nephew Isaiah and I LOVED THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT AND THE ATMOSPHERE!!!! VERY BEAUTIFUL PARK!!!"
