I hate to give only 1 star but my husband and I took our 3 children. 13yo daughter and our two sons 5 & 9. As soon as we arrived I sat our bag of snacks on a bench by the Big swings and I instantly got stung by 3 yellow jackets. Followed by our 5yo soon being ambushed by a swarm of yellow jackets. While my husband is trying to get them off he began to get attacked.

There are also fields for sports and things like that although I admit I have not looked into whether or not you can just go out there and start a baseball game without getting permission. Bottom line is this is the PERFECT park to take your kids and let them play. Why not bring a picnic along while you are present. There are picnic tables awaiting you as well. This is the best park...
