Disappointed This place needs some maintenance big time! Trees near the park and sidewalk need trimming and are overgrown. Trash is everywhere. There’s signs that people stay over night. Playground bolts are loose and the paint is super old and chipped. The park amenities like the music chimes are broken

This is a great and quiet park. The park was a good size, plenty of amenities, including a library, very chill and not too busy, great grass, and very convenient from Federal. The playground was in a good condition as well. Overall, I had a good time throwing the ball with my dog here. Highly recommend this park.

Its just ok. Playground is a bit dated and beat up. Kids seem to love it. I'm not a huge fan. The play surface is sand, so take that into consideration on hot days or times when you might not want your kid covered in sand/shoes full of sand. Its an older park, so lots of nice trees and shady green space to enjoy. Not too loud despite the proximity to Federal Blvd.
