It's your typical park surrounded by a more urban setting.This park is a great place for families to have a picnic, go for a stroll, or just enjoy the outdoors.
There is a lake with a paved path surrounding it. The park has a play area for children, including a watery area for those hot summer days. Ice cream trucks visit, and there are concessions for food. There are some areas set up for playing different sports.

Currently a large lake that's at the heart of the park is under construction, but when that project is completed it'll add to the peaceful aesthetic. Blvd East is also nearby which is great to walk to and see beautiful views of the city. Plenty of restaurants, bodegas, and hookah spots nearby too. Overall a great park to enjoy with the family or even for...
