"Good walking paths, not crowded, easy parking. My dogs enjoy walking around there"
"It's small mostly for younger children but it's safe and kid friendly slides and swings with minor climbing challenges plus a restroom which is a real plus instead of having to figure that out at the last minute."
"this is a unique park to walk around. such calmness. kid friendly local library has park outside recently built and also large area to walk bike or simply sit and enjoy the beautiful scenery. thanks to the help from the local mayor this place has been restored ever since the take down of the lights for the airplanes."
"The park had become a bit "messy" during the Covid shut down but the maintenance crews are back. And there is water in the Locke. It still needs work but it's a great place for a walk, dog or no. The Library has some construction going on and part of the trail is blocked off. They are adding an MLK bust to the west end of the Library grounds."
"Not sure what to make of this park. Perhaps they are letting it go natural. Starts on a hill with the Marina Library at the Crest. At the bottom is a large pond. It is as if the city doesn't have the money to take care of this park. Lot of yellow weeds that out grow the grass and the grass doesn't seem to be watered. Pieces of the sprinkler system are laying around. Tree and reeds growth cover the pond's edges so it is almost impossible to see. Viewing platforms are in a dangerous state. Trails are not in the best of shape. Bathrooms are ok. Homeless pass through the area but, have always left me alone. Could be really nice park with funding and TLC."
