What people say
My kids and I stumbled across this little gem. Neat little play ground/place to rest. Lots of people walking their dogs through here. Not your typical type of playground but the kids had a good time when we were here.
This is a nice small park with a playground, a picnic table, and a small open field. There is a basketball hoop and a wall that you can play tennis against.
Small cute quiet park, pet and family friendly. Equipment and a place for sport with a small half basketball court/wall to practice tennis on.
This is a really nice little play area for kids. A really good alternative when Centennial Park is chock-a-block full. As it often is.
Great little park with lots of equipment for kids to enjoy. There is also undercover seating for picnics or just to read the paper.
