Update: The round platform that sat on top of the cement round, about which I've commented about for over six months has been replaced & is now in full working order. Finally. That's good news! Update: 01.02.23 Park still nicely maintained, newer playground equipment functioning well. Still don't understand why the round cement structure with rebar now flush with the cement surface is still there? Probably best to replace it or get rid of it. Update: 10.27.23 Round, cement base that had dangerous rebar sticking up as pictured below has been somewhat resolved. The rebars have been cut off to be flush with cement base, but the playground activity itself has not been replaced. Would be safer & make sense for the cement to be removed or for the missing piece to be restored. At least it's no longer an attractive nuisance. Otherwise, this is still a nice park. No food available, no bathrooms on site, but water fountain is available on walking path & at playground. Street parking on both sides of park. Update: 08.13.23 New playset still wonderful. Wish there were some kind of pagoda/structure, especially over the swing set area as the sun is brutal. People still disrespecting the leash laws and letting their dogs run around the grass unleashed. We get that a lot of people need a space to play fetch with their dogs, but it makes it very uncomfortable to be walking the path around the grass area when dogs are running back and forth and our dog is leashed and therefore jittery since other dogs aren't leashed. The rubber like flooring around the place that is very nice, and has saved lots of kids from injuries. Just be careful, as this flooring has steep curbs that younger kids cannot always navigate themselves. I've seen several children fall into the wood chips. I don't know what is going on with the round, cement structure pictured that is clearly under repair, but it has metal prongs sticking up out of it and putting a type 1 barricade on top In no way prevents curious children from investigating the prongs, climbing on the cement, or falling onto the metal prongs. It has been like this for months. It needs to be fixed, please! New playset, other side of park has benches & grass area for free play. Street parking. No restrooms. One BBQ grill. Two picnic tables, but several benches around the park's perimeter. This is not an off-leash dog park, but unfortunately, people disrespect the city code requiring dogs to be leashed & let their dogs run off-leash. This has resulted in our family not wanting to come to this park as we often can't walk our dog without having to deal with off-leash dogs running up to our leashed dog. (This park is not unique in people disrespecting leash laws. Many disregard the posted signs in public parks.)

Beautiful park however no bathrooms. 2 bucket swings as well as a chair swing for all abilities 6 swings total. Cute little toddler area with tanbark and soft flooring around. Lots of room and grass areas to play and explore. It’s tucked away in a quiet little neighborhood.

Love this park. The only wish I have would be some shade over thr play structures. It's apparent that a lot of thought went into the design as it accommodates so many age groups and abilities. The picnic areas are awesome and so much green space to accommodate running. Lots of paved path for my nearly 2 year old granddaughter to ride her scooter - she LOVES this park!

Love this park ♥️ Huge grassy area to run around! So many tall trees: old pines, sycamores, even a young sequoia. Picnic tables, a good playground, benches, a water fountain, trash bins… but - no restroom 😳
