    Really well kept fields. Lovely parks and trees and paths. Bathrooms are clean are located at both entrances. Picnic tables and kids play ground in several locations. Plenty of shady spots and sunny spots to toss a blanket for picnic and reading. Self instructions for health and fitness points along the trail are easy to read and use to keep your body tight and trim. I highly recommend and suggest you bring sanitary wipes and gloves to use the exercise equipment.

    Looked like a lovely park as I was driving in. There was ample parking, but I couldn't stay. They do not allow dogs or pets on the trail and I was hoping to take my girls on a peaceful, easy morning walk. I am putting this in my review so other people don't waste their time like I did. Also, bikes are not allowed on the path.

    We were there for a bday party! It was shady and clean. There were a lot of swings, a climbing wall, restroom and a large grass area for a huge bouncy house. This park is kind of hidden so it was very quite. I really like it and the parking was free.

    This is a great City park. There is a playground for the kids, a generous amount of picnic tables. It's mostly shaded, clean and well maintained and the staff are friendly and helpful.

    I like that the park is well shaded and has picnic tables. The older kids’ playground is pretty nice, but the younger kids’ playground (2-5 years old) isn’t well-designed or particularly fun for tots. For example, there is a “climbing wall” but it’s not built for short legs, and the lookout telescope is much higher than kid height.

    Beautiful park for individuals and families. Pavilions for parties. Playgrounds, jogging paths all set in a lush green atmosphere. Well kept and so clean. A great place to go and relax and let your mind take a vacation from city life. Its a whole other world. Will definitely recommend this park for everyone.

    The boardwalks have been removed. The only thing left is a small play ground

    Nice convenient park. Big free parking, security cameras monitored by police, free toilets, 2 good playgrounds for kids of different age w/ soft rubber floor, many places for bbq, long trail for walk/run, lots of trees and shaded places. Great place to spend a day w/ kids/friends/family.

    Great nature park with access to a beautiful estuary. An accessible walking path offers individuals with limited mobility an opportunity to explore the park.

    Great park a little out of the way. Well connected with a lot of activities and fields. Soon will be better with waterfront walking trails that are currently under construction.

    They don’t allow dogs but everything else looked nice but couldn’t check it out because no dogs allowed they should at least allow service animals
