Good to know

Best for older kids and sports
This is a sports-focused facility with baseball fields, basketball courts, and a track, but has no traditional playground.
Excellent for walking and jogging

Check hours before visiting
The park is closed to the public on weekdays from 7am to 3pm when school is in session.
Arrive early for parking
The main lot is small, though overflow parking is available in the adjacent school lot on weekends.

How we know this. Place details from the public Google business listing; facilities inferred from 61 visitor reviews; playground outlines and amenity positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), which is also what the size is measured on; aerial imagery from USGS (2022). Attributes appear only when the evidence clears our confidence bar, and review text is never republished. The unedited aerial shows tree cover, which is our second check on shade.
