I used to go here from 2011 to 2017 for the track and field and calisthenics bars. Its been quite a while since I been here but recently was around for work. So I stopped by and was pleasantly surprised with the changes.
By the way, my review is going to be based mostly for the track and field and the calisthenics bars. This park offers some baseball (of course) and some basketball courts and some other stuff but like I said I come here for the aforementioned reasons.

There is never alot of people blocking your way and it's great for social distancing. The reason it only gets 4 stars is because I have seen people use this park as their toilet, despite there being a public bathroom available.
