“This park is really fun for my son who has special needs.”

From the reviews

…Also a small gravel track with different exercise activities along the way.

★★★★★ — Karen, Aug 2021

…There is also a half basketball court and a track to power walk, run or bring your dog for some exercise. Parking is free and fairly spacious. I believe it closes at dusk. Nice place to visit if you have kid(s), dog(s) or if you just want to walk around for some time to yourself.

★★★★★ — Kyle, Jan 2018
