From the reviews

…Jogging track and several shade trees within. It also boasts a playground, a natural habitat berm area for watching birds, a and Picnic tables. The city had planned this “Green Zone” for many future generations to enjoy and appreciate nature .

★★★★★ — Gregory, Mar 2025

…They added exercise machines around the track/walkway which is a nice feature. I would only suggest adding an explanation sticker to said machines and maybe fixing one which I saw was missing parts so that patrons are able to read and see how to perform an exercise. Otherwise it seemed rather clean.

★★★★★ — Edgar, Dec 2022

…It is also large enough for people of all ages to enjoy the oval shaped circuit around it to exercise by walking, running or bicycling on the cement track or around its grassy border.

★★★★☆ — Julia, Jul 2018

…The sidewalk goes in a circle so it is very easy to track laps and your distance. The circumference of the park is .35 miles for every loop that you do.
