Official listing

Best for older kids

Toddlers will struggle with high monkey bars and lack of baby swings, but school-age children find plenty to enjoy.

Visit during daytime events

Sports leagues occupy fields most evenings, and safety concerns arise after dark in this neighborhood.

Secure your belongings

Multiple car break-ins and one vehicle theft have been reported, so do not leave valuables unattended.

Check ground conditions

The playground has soft rubber surfacing, but sand areas occasionally contain sharp objects and become muddy after rain.

Bring water and snacks

There are no water fountains, and reviewers specifically requested this amenity multiple times.
