Quiet little park. Keep your dogs on a leash people. I was there with my grandbaby who is 1. Multiple people show up at 1pm in the afternoon to let there dogs run free off the leash Until they realize others are doing the same. One lady couldn't get her dog to listen n was running crazy all over the park knocking people over. It was funny yet probably not safe for other kiddos not being watch as closely as I was watching my grandbaby. Off leash parks are just for that people.

This park has plenty of room to bring your dog out and play fetch. The people are nice and friendly you see families come and play on the playground the people playing basketball. The only thing about the park it needs more benches throughout the park to sit down. There is plenty of trees and shade to sit under on a hot day.
