Just visited this park for the first time with kids.

Maintenance has been a combo of city and volunteer with much of the quality seemingly coming from volunteers, hopefully once the renovations are done the city will value this park a...

They have a playground that has covered canopies with benches. They have a rock climbing tower. They also have a dirt bike track that has lights. They also have asphalt...
