Central Ave Park

"The play structures are very cute and would have been perfect for my toddlers BUT there’s remnants of someone sleeping under one of the structures, including a pack of cigarettes. Additionally, there’s a gaping hole cut into the fence separating the playground from the HIGHWAY. There’s also a homeless camp on the other side of that gaping hole in the fence."

"Though I absolutely love this park (I admit I am partial after living in this neighborhood for several years), the restrooms here are on any given day somewhere between non-existent to the most disgusting things I've ever seen. I'd love to see a solution to this one. There are homeless who live at or by this particular park, though I have never had any problems....rather people have been friendly and helpful to one another..."

"Weird mix of random features. It’s fun for a minute but there’s a much better skatepark right across the bridge."

"I would love to give this five stars but can’t. There’s two halves to the park, one on each side of the freeway. The reason is that one of these parks is covered in litter, most probably from the multiple homeless tents lined up in plain sight on the side of the freeway. One time we came there were adult dirty clothes left on the play structure and what looked like leftover meal scraps. It ruins this halve of the park which is equipped with a child friendly scare park and small kids playground with multiple picnic tables. The other halve of the park is amazing though. There is a larger play structure as well as larger scate park and a baseball court. Plus there is a basketball court the timetable for which I’m posting and a teen lounge. A large car park is conviniently located right opposite the baseball court and a short walk from the playground."

"Has one of the coolest slides built of spinning pipes. My girls ages 2 and 4 did it over and over. It is fenced in from the road. This helps with containing kids safely. The fact that it is a "smallish" park is perfect for not having to worry about chasing them down from a distance. This doesn't take away from how exciting and fun it is for curious and adventurous children."
