Great for young toddlers
The small, well-maintained playground with nearby shade is ideal for children under 3 who need close supervision in.
Go early morning for safety
Off-leash dogs are a recurring problem, especially in afternoons, so arriving before 11am significantly reduces encounters with uncontrolled dogs.
Bring water for hot days
Restrooms are only open seasonally in summer and there is no water fountain near the playground for drinking.
Plan around festival events
The park hosts community events like the Sunnyside Music Festival and other programming that draw large crowds.
