    This is an awesome park. There are activities for everyone and a nice area to sit and relax for shade.

    This is a nice​ big park with a huge playground. On a sunny weekend it gets a bit busy but our preschooler was fine, the bigger kids showed her the ropes and the other parents were friendly. Just wish they had more benches as those were constantly full. The park is a good spot for a picnic with shady spots under many trees. Every other week they have a wonderful farmers market. If you don't bring a picnic basket they can help you out. Also, appreciate that the park building is open on Sundays and the bathrooms are clean!

    Huge park with something for all ages. Ample free street parking. Quiet street. So much green space. Soft ground. Smaller area perfect for babies/toddlers. Larger climbing area for older kids. Amazing park!

  • 1/5 Ampari A. 2 years ago on Google
    the last two years the grass has deteriorated when these people play volleyball, leave dirty and take ceeveza. there is and no one who can have control over this

  • 5/5 The S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of space for activities and can usually find very nice people.

  • 3/5 Carlos N. 4 years ago on Google
    The park is excellent, my discomfort is with the administrators of the pools, since they do not respect the schedule of Friday, supposedly the schedule is from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and they only let you be 15 minutes. It is absurd to edit a schedule that they will not respect

    The staff in the swim area are wonderful. They have all been there for quite a while. My son (4) is hesitant as a swimmer and they work with him very patiently. If you are a parent and are going to be waiting there during swimming bring some shirts with you. It is super hot in there year round.

  • 5/5 Yong C. 1 year ago on Google
    I think our dogs love this park more then we do. A friendly neighborhood park with a plenty of grass field in the middle with tennis courts and a small playground. It is well maintained even during the winter.

  • 5/5 RD M. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice quiet neighborhood park to relax after a long day.

  • 5/5 Alejandro M. 3 years ago on Google
    Small park but great for walking, setting up a picnic, playing tennis, baseball, etc. There's often a group or two that set to volleyball nets as well. Plenty of space to relax and occasionally there is a great little food truck that sets to near Irving Park road and they have great snacks and food.

    We love the swim lessons! I also highly suggest sticking with lessons because the older kids swim laps during lessons! You can never be too good at swimming!

  • 5/5 RECONCILIATION E. H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean. Much space to walk dogs, play a sport or have a picnic.

  • 5/5 Inna V. 2 years ago on Google
    Spacious, great shadow at the sitting grass region, very nice playground. Didn't have any problems to find parking.

  • 5/5 Michael N. 3 years ago on Google
    A nice park. My favorite park is actually Independence Park just a little south east of this location but I can't leave reviews for that one. Random location, quiet, serene, and wonderful.

    Fantastic food and fantastic prices. Mini jibarito is great and the fritters/ meat pies rock. Live this place.

  • 5/5 Matt H. 3 years ago on Google
    Large chill park for pandemic hangz. I especially recommend the rise of flowers for intimate dates. Gives French restaurant vibes without the added stress of dressing up.

  • 1/5 Marc M. 3 years ago on Google
    Small city park.. be careful of parking.. Inadequate signage leads you to getting parking ticket. Little play area. Not fair to have a park that you can't park by...
