Guide

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

The paved path circling the park and track make it ideal for morning or evening exercise with dogs or family.

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.

Bring your own supplies

Restrooms are only available during scheduled ballgames, and lighting is poor in evening hours.

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.
