Very good park with playing fields for baseball and soccer, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a very good playground for kids, a covered picnic area with grills and restroom facilities (portable). There's an entrance to the parking lot off Josephine St. There are benches to rest and plenty of room to walk dogs.

A simple yet important open space. This park has an interesting history behind it. The park has also been critical for generations of local residents. The pool and playground top off this lovely little gem of a park.

Neighborhood Park located near Cheesman Park. There are several tennis courts, some in better shape than others. There are also two basketball hoops but the pavement is very rough. Seems to be a great gathering spot for pickleball enthusiasts. There is also a swimming pool that opens for the summer.
