Perfect for summer picnics
Mature trees provide excellent shade, shaded picnic areas are available, and the park stays relatively quiet.
Check grass condition after rain
Fields can become soggy after watering or rain, and grass sometimes goes to seed depending on maintenance cycles.
Great for older kids and sports
Full-sized soccer field, basketball courts with lights, and open space make this ideal for school-age kids and team activities.
Bring your own bathroom supplies
The park has no public restrooms, so plan accordingly for young children who may need facilities.
Arrive early for street parking
All parking is on-street only with no designated lot, so come during off-peak times to find a spot.
