👍👍 We had my 4 year old's birthday at Play Union this weekend and it was such a fun, stress-free experience. Debbie goes above and beyond and is so easy-going amidst the kid-created chaos and mess. It was so nice to not have to worry about table cloths, cutlery, balloons, CLEAN-UP, and just have fun. W...

👍 I nice place to come enjoy the green and fresh beauty of nature. Often times I walk by and the gate is closed and locked, but once in a while the gate is open and I get to walk through and enjoy seeing the flowers and vegetables and herbs that have been planted.

😠 Buyers and sellers beware. Went in there to sell vintage Radio Shack RC monster truck i had since i was a kid. The owner told me that he sells his items at 3 times the buying price. He offered me $20 and told me he would sell it for $60. I informed him i had it for many years in a storage unit but h...

👍👍 Went for a walk and stumbled across this beautifully designed tiny park…it’s not uncommon for a small strip of land like this to go to waste so it was such a wonderful surprise to find symphony park! Would make for an excellent spot to sit for a read or take a small water break on a walk. Worth noti...

👍👍 1st year working in the park and it is a dream job... Amazing scenery, beautiful little beaches and great people. Please stop by any day open from sunset to 9pm.

👍 The park is adjacent to the bicycle path, along with two benches. Perfect for a lazy guy like me. It was close to sunset, so until them I filled in my time playing my harmonica. Several songs later got out the camera and snapped a few shots. Here's one of them. The park is geared for children, alth...

😠 Don't support rapists! Out of the Blue protected their serial assaulter manager for decades before trying to wash their hands of him. Go somewhere else, most area musicians aren't even willing to play here anymore so you can't get any good music.

👍 Cute community playground for the under 4 set. There are a number of community toys other parents have left behind. The swing set is across the street from the main play space. Parking is scarce, better to walk here if you can. There is a big bush in the far back of the park. Do not let your little...
