👍👍 Great hometown kinda-vibe park. Baseball diamond, open field, playground, basketball court, and even a summer water park. Public washrooms are seasonal. Oh... Large gazebo for shelter and gatherings like birthday parties, etc... Really nice park. Fall colors are in bloom. People often mention park, Great, kids, water, playground, summer, field, play,

    Fun little spray park for the kids to cool off in.

  • 4/5 Human 1 year ago on Google
    Your basic spray park, playground and field for sports ball. Spray park has a change room, bathrooms and a drink fountain. There is also a gazebo for small events, such as a kids birthday party. It's first-come, first-served so grab it early if that's the case. There is some shade around the gazebo and playground, but no much anywhere else, so be aware of that. Tiny parking lot, but street parking is available nearby. All-in-all, a decent place to go and let your kids burn off some excess energy.
