👨‍👩‍👧 good for the whole family 4 mentions

“I stopped by with my kid for a low-key afternoon, and there was enough space that we never felt crowded.”

From the reviews

…It has everything- slides, swing, sand box, swimming pool, baseball, basketball field, small running track, & badminton/volleyball court! Also has a few picnic benches in a small covered area.

★★★★☆ — Hafsa, Jul 2019

…Basketball, baseball/softball, playground for the kiddos, a nice track and a pretty large field make it a good weekend activities destination. Loads of sunbathers/readers in the field on the weekend, but still ample room to toss a Frisbee or football, whichever tickles your fancy.

★★★★★ — David, Aug 2013

…Has a few basketball courts, volleyball court, dirt track, bases for baseball/softball, a little playground and even a pool! Easy to get to and very open. Definitely will be returning and using the facilities again!

★★★★★ — Nathan, Apr 2021

…Track is 6 laps per mile apparently. Usually very clean and well kept
