This park has a lot to offer. From various baseball/softball fields, bleachers, benches, playground, skateboard park, recreation center, two bathroom areas, concession stand, and car charging posts. The parking has got to be the worse. Crickety looking in some areas and not enough parking stalls anywhere around the park. During games - depending which field you’re playing on- parking is minimal. You may find yourself parking across the street by the high school, houses and apartments. Best you arrive early, especially during games and special events.
The park is too tight and constricted. The playground is about the only area that has good amount of space, open setting and modern playground equipment.

Now it has evolved to something more refined and for the times but I still believe it has a great value to the community. It makes me happy to see that park hasn't been leveled and developed into more housing because that would...
