From the reviews
Okay major construction as of Memorial Day 2025 has partitioned the north end of this park so take into consideration that's up to a two star deduction for non-track users but normally...
…It will be even better when the track is finished in (hopefully) Fall 2018. I hope to see you out there having a blast!
…Fantastic view of the river and bridge + nice track to run on + open area to play sports or whatever you’re feeling.
