Nice large park with basketball courts, hard soccer field, 2 tennis courts, base ball fields, playground and even sand volleyball.

In the playground there is also a water fountain like feature and is great to wash your hands with or even cool off on a hot summer day.

Great memories... this was in the mid 90's to early 2000's and it was pretty safe. Only heard of a few altercations, but they were all late at night, past my curfew. I have no clue on how safe the park is now, since I moved out of the area around they...
Read moreWent to jr high school here, got to 3rd base for the first time here, got drunk on vodka we stole from my mom's liquor cabinet for 1st time here... Played basket ball and football and baseball and softball here, and learned how to hacky sack, then spent a very good part of 3 Summers at this place. Lots of memories here for me. But aside from all that, it's a nice park with an awesome playground for the kiddies, track, tennis courts, basketball courts, couple of nice ball diamonds. Good place to be, doing whatever...
