Come for shade and cleanliness

Parking can be tight
Reviewers mention that the parking situation is not ideal, so arrive early if possible.
Avoid school recess times
The playground sits directly next to Butler Elementary School, making it loud and hectic during school hours and recess.
Expect limited climbing options
The equipment includes good spinning and rotating features but lacks substantial climbing structures.
Bring water, no facilities
