From the reviews
…Running track around soccer field.. baseball field with a little stadium... Trails by river with work out stations and mile markers. ..... Update... Fire destroyed the building house the pump for the sprinkler in the playground.... Hope it can be fixed soon.
…Baseball on one side and soccer in the middle of an oval. Needs to be fixed up a bit and unfortunately only a few visitors/park goers consciously keep this area clean. Only takes a few seconds to throw water bottles in the recycling bin provided. This is a good place to destress.
