This is a small park that isn’t usually busy. The park has walking paths, a nice playground for kids, picnic tables under shelters and a well maintained bathroom facility.

There is a sign that says no dogs allowed. Several little gazebos with a singular picnic table under each one. Unfortunately, it seems someone has moved the handicap accessible one so that it blocks the sidewalk leading up to it, so wheelchair users would not be able to get under the gazebo that has the wheelchair friendly...
Read moreWe spent time at the park while waiting for an appointment. It is a convenient location among an apartment complex and an elementary school. The bathrooms were clean. We took advantage of the 1/4 mile walking path and watched younger children and families using the playground equipment.
The park trees and bushes need to be trimmed. There is considerable litter and the litter barrels need...
