From the reviews

Playground is good for younger kids. Running track is where we taught our son to ride his bike. Tennis and basketball courts great for playing around.

★★★★☆ — Alan, Jun 2017

We love to walk around their track. 4 laps equal a mile. Free parking. All goof.

★★★★★ — Rose, Jul 2020

I live nearby and visit practically every day, beautiful, lots of activities, tennis, basketball, baseball, soccer, running track, benches, lots of trees, kids play area, swings, slides, clean bathrooms what more could one want!

★★★★★ — D, Jul 2023

Not a bad dirt/gravel track to run on; seems to be standard 400 meter track. Wish the water fountains worked.
