David Green Park — Attraction in University Park

I like the new swings here. But the entire park was sadly in rather disgusting condition. There was garbage and inappropriate waste throughout the entire park- and I don’t think children should play in an area this poorly kept, despite the park’s amenities having the possibility of being a lot of fun. And whoever’s idea it was to include a slide that came out into a pool of water… was not considering the necessary work to keep a public body of water from being a cesspool of nasty germs and possible illnesses.

There's parking for at least a dozen vehicles. The playground is nice with a fun large oval swing. There's a big field and a bike path that follows the adjacent road.

There is a small shelter and small charcoal grills on poles and two large trash. Near the parking lot there are free bags to pick up...
