Reviews
"A very cute grassy park that is peaceful with a couple picnic tables and several benches. Sit among the planets (the walkway is marked with the solar system along the way). Dog friendly, but on leash (not fenced and not a dog park). Also a book exchange box there. Great for small children to run and play with supervision. No playground equipment. Not that kinda park. Bring a book or a picnic...perfect for a little family or neighborhood get together."
"This is a nice little park that is small but still robust and one that you can use to chill and enjoy. That's really all you need. I hope you like it. You can picnic on the grass area if you feel the urge. You can choose to throw a Frisbee as well because there is room. Or bring your hackey sack. That's fun. I think the kids are into that again. This is definitely a great park for you and yours to enjoy if you choose to do so. But you are not allowed to barbecue here, so I'm sorry about that."
"Very quaint, quiet and rustic. No sidewalks, lush well kept lawn fades naturally into dirt paths. Outside the ring path nature has her way with wild grass, wildflowers and weeds. Kudos to the groundskeepers; Not every inch has to be sterile. One of its many features is quite novel: NO CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND! I consider this a feature in that it creates a more contemplative atmosphere where you can listen to the many birds and hear yourself think."
"It is true that the historic observatory is closed but this is such a beautiful park. There are two entrances to the park on Observatory Ave and Luce Ave. The park is big and has enough room to play soccer, football, catch and more. There is a tiny flower maze on the property and a giant tree that can shade you from the hot sun. Overall, this is a great park for a picnic and family fun."
"Tucked into a neighborhood, very spacious grass land. Pretty place to relax and be in nature. I reccomend coming in the back, the front has a gate door."
