Very nice and new park. Has a little splash pad (nothing fancy, but good enough for our kids to cool off). Big open areas adjacent for kids to run around as well. My only "gripe" is that it's next to the middle school and so the middle-schoolers like to hang out there and do what kids that age do (after school let's out). Not sure how it will be over the summer. I'm not naive, I don't blame them for doing what kids that age do, and I probably was the same way.

Read moreAmazing park!! Took my 20mo old granddaughter and she was going full speed back and forth to everything. The only reason I didn't give 5 starts is that some areas lead straight to the road and for the little who don't understand yet it gave me a bit of anxiety when she would run that direction. One thing we also took note of is when the school across the street let's out the area gets over run with older kids - not all pay attention to there surroundings or where they are going, there is some horse play. It isn't overly safe to have a toddler lose with out risk of them getting knocked over, bumped, or scared/ overwhelmed by the big kids running around. So we plan to better time our visit next time... we will...
