Good to know Good for a picnic
Picnic facilities on site — room to sit and eat near the play area.
Official listing
Slides require confident landing skills
Both small and large slides are fast with minimal stopping area, so younger or less coordinated children may struggle.
Plan for a short walk from parking
The playground sits down a hill from two parking lots, requiring a walk along trails to reach the play area.
Excellent for multi-age family outings
The park offers basketball hoops for older kids, open fields, a playground structure, a dog park, and peaceful walking trails.
Come early morning or evening in summer
The playground and sandbox lack shade, so the equipment becomes uncomfortably hot during midday hours.
Bring water for hot days
Water fountains are available on-site, useful given the lack of shade over play equipment.
