From the reviews
…They have a climbing area for kids, swings, a large field, soccer field, outdoor basketball hoops and track. They installed outdoor exercise equipment within the last year. I grew up going to this park and love it.
Great spot for kids sports or walking the track. We used to walk here during covid and it was a great respite then. Even now still a good spot to get your steps and enjoy a nice day. Also nice and well maintained turf for soccer!
…This park has a good track and a minimal set of exercise / strength training machines. September, 2023: It's quiet now that the rainy season has started. I used it to complete my steps challenge, 5000 steps a day. The rain Was not enough to be a hindrance.
Great track to walk or run on with an additional dirt trail that connects to routes outside the park. Lots of space for many people at different parts of the park. Bday party was going on in play area with tons of play space for little ones.
