    Great small park with a toddler section and and an older section. Unique climbing challenges. A little forest trail. Very clean. Dogs are allowed on leash. We had a great time on playing the ferns next to the little trail.

    What a great park. Fabulous new toys and swings, a walking path and basketball hoop as well. Nicely tucked in a neighborhood, safe access for kids and bicycles. Only downfall would be no bathrooms or portable bathrooms. Other than that, great park.

    Cute and quiet. In the midst of a residential neighborhood, so the kids' playground is active and there's plenty of dogwalkers (with leashes!) on the trails in the woods. Just enough elevation variance to be a nice little 10 minute walk.

    Nice playground and forest trails. There’s a basketball hoop too.

    This is a beautiful little neighborhood park. There is plenty to keep the kids and parents busy for a while. The equipment is Ballance and strength focused, with a few slides, climbs, and a little Mary go round with seats for us bigger kids πŸ˜‰ There is a basketball hoop and a few benches. There's also a little trail to walk around and a wooden rocking swing. Very fun park for all ages.

    A great park with surprisingly big toys to play on with an obstacle course built into the large one. Very nice walkway through a little patch of forest as well.

    Not busy, well kept up, no bathroom, they made a small forest type of walk path next to park. Very quaint. It has some unique jungle gym with slides, some swings, a spinny thing, and a small basketball court.

    Nice park in cul-de-sac of neighborhood. Kind of surprised by the location but it's a nice smaller park. There is a short trail to walk on. Both the park and trail are perfect for two four year olds!

    This park was cool it had a Mini American rinja course. It was in a housing development though. I think it is the neighborhood playground more than open to the public.

    A very nice little park with cool playground equipment. The availability of tables for eating is great too! Highly recommended!

    i've lived near here since the park used to be an empty field with a few swings. the playground they've built there in recent years is fantastic and i'm blessed to live within walking distance. there's a trail loop to walk on (very easy and kid friendly) a field where people throw balls for their dogs, and a designated toddler/baby area away from the bigger kid area. my kids love going here. you can often spot woodpeckers and rabbits, and in the fall my husband and i look for mushrooms on the trail. the surrounding neighborhood is very safe and friendly, like i said, we very often just walk to this park.
