Best for toddlers and young kids
The shallow pool (2-3 feet) and small playground are specifically designed for children under 8 years old.
Pool entry costs nominal fee
The splash pad costs around $2-3 per person, making it an affordable water play option.
Arrive early for parking and shade
Street parking is limited and the best shaded areas fill up, so aim for morning visits before crowds arrive.
Bring your own bathroom supplies
The park lacks a functioning bathroom facility, which multiple reviewers identified as a significant gap.
Watch for traffic on adjacent street
Vehicles drive too fast along the street bordering the playground, so supervise children carefully near that edge.
