park overview
The park is very large with several sports fields and courts: basketball, tennis, baseball. There is also a walking trail and a few picnic shelters. The park used to have a public pool but that feel into disrepair a few years ago so it is permanently closed.
The playground is in a semi-wooded area but the sports facilities are mostly in direct sun and the playground gets a fair amount of mid-day sun also.
playground overview
Something about it just give the playground a little bit of a tired or sad vibe. The equipment appears to be in good condition but the ground cover around it is spare, so that could be the issue. The smaller playground area is fenced in to help kids stay contained in that particular area. There is a section of swings situated closer to the other sports fields and courts.
This isn’t a park we’d go out of our way to visit for the playground. But overall the park does have a lot to offer the local community and we’re always grateful for any dedicated outdoor space!
