Cooper Park

"Great park - BUT giving 3 stars because some man w/ his little kid came up to me and my leashed dog right outside the playground and threatened to use his knife to cut my dog if it showed even the slightest sign of aggression. This was totally unprovoked; me and my dog were minding our own business just walking around. Very disturbing experience, and would recommend to keep your dogs close by your side."

"Really nice park with tennis courts, basketball courts, handball walls, and a skate park. Love that it's close and that the tennis courts don't require a permit to play. Note that there are only two courts so depending on how many people are waiting to play (hour time limit for singles, two hours for doubles), you can sometimes wait a couple hours to get a court."

"Been going here a while as it’s larger than the closer park to me. Great size and the lawn is nice but the barbecue area has gotten really bad. Went to do a last summer barbecue today and had to leave as that section of the park has become unusable. Every grill is severely broken, falling down. Also that section of the park has become home to a few unhoused people. Felt intrusive to their space. Really hoping the city can fix up the grills/ grass, add some more stable tables (there’s only 2 or 3) and help these folks out in a respectful way. Also the restrooms are closed and under construction which means you can’t stay very long."
