Being right by the police precinct, I wouldn't think safety was an issue. I've visited this park from time to time for most of my life and it's always had a...

Cute city park! Nice covered picnic table areas to keep dry and get some studying done in the rain. Some of the walkways pictured are closed currently. The playground looked nice as well. Definitely a good bit of traffic noise from the surrounding roads, but still...
