I had somewhat of a bad experience on Wednesday evening only because my daughter felt some unwanted hate from a worker there. The park is an awesome park with all kind of activities but there is one specific girl worker that is uninviting and rude. My daughter approached her with a simple basketball question, and she was being rude to my 16 year old. Mind you my daughter is young and beautiful no need to be rude just for that. My daughter is very polite too no matter the circumstance. She said she was doing unnecessary hand gestures at her and almost hit her with her long nails and then she turns her back on her, and away she goes with a trampy distasteful walk. So damn rude!

Rude for no real reason and with the spirit of Jezebel. I can already tell with that indecent sleazy walk. Mmmmm no...

I come to this park often because it's close to home. My grip is with the playground off of Southern Ave & Hildreth Ave.

This playground has several broken slides and you'll often see several potholes in the playground. If you come in the afternoon, you'll see the place littered with trash and ice-cream wrappers.

The best time to visit is in the morning after the park staff has cleaned it.

This playground has no shade or nearby trees to cast a shadow. If you make it anywhere from 9:00-9:30 a.m. you'll have warm sun but won't feel the overwhelming heat.

Also here's a big tip: use the restroom at home. Restrooms next to the playground are always lacking toilet paper and soap. If you really must go, try the restrooms inside the sports center. Those are 8/10.

Overall the rest of the park is very pretty and well kept. I know there is a newer playground set on Hildreth Ave & Missouri Ave. It's pretty, but since it's designed for ages 5+, my little kid can't...
