2023 [UPDATED GENERAL PARK REVIEW] -Great park for picnics. -LOTS OF benches and shade/trees -Playground in center of park is not fenced in but is accessible by wheelchair! -Some of the sidewalks/ paths around park need some maintenance otherwise would be great for kids to bike, and more wheelchair accessible. -Plenty of trash cans -Hummingbird Garden with trumpet honeysuckle! -Well maintained fountain -Well maintained grass. -Playground is most suitable for school age children [ages 4-11] -Tall slides and climbing structures suitable for older kids. -Swings -Interactive play areas for younger kids -Little free library box for book trade (was empty this visit but it is usually full of books most of the times I have visited) -Bulletin board for local information sharing -Often a lemonade truck nearby -Three Sisters [Ice Cream shop] across the street is one of the best in the state- home made ice cream flavors. Definitely bring some cash for a treat! ♡

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in nature, this isn’t the park for you. But if you’re for a nice grassy area to relax after a run down Blackstone Blvd or you want to spend a day at the park with your family and meet some neighbors, this is a...
