Nice park but it's unfortunately closed and come to find out it's not really a public park they call it a sports park so it's not right on being there all the time because if they decide to have tournaments it's closed if they decide to close it whenever they feel like it it's closed but the park itself I give it a four because it's a nice park management wise sorry most likely you will get a one or two from 5 and I realize that there are other issues involved in this park but it's definitely not something I can rely on to be there all the time so I'm glad we have other...
