From the reviews

…A large rugby field with a paved walking track around it. Parking in the front and back of the field.

★★★★★ — Jason, Mar 2024

…There is an asphalt walking track that surrounds a football field(there are no yard markings on the field). The children's playground has multiple slides, jungle gym, and swing set. There's tennis courts and basketball goals. Picnic tables are under cover and on concrete floors.

★★★★☆ — Andrea, May 2023

…Nice pickle ball courts, clean restrooms, walking track and a dog park. Also you can drop off fresh refrigerated produce in a place for our unhoused victims of the invisible underhanded market paradigm that places the monetary gains of a few over the lives of many humans. All are free, or none are!

★★★★★ — Mitchell, Nov 2023

The walking track was just ok. It's about like walking on a track around a football field. There is some playground equipment, also small. One picnic table in a gazebo and a couple of park benches. The best part is the tennis courts and pickleball courts!
