Official listing

Best for basketball and older kids

The covered courts with lights attract regular players and work well for pickup games into evening hours.

Great spot for photos and views

The park offers downtown skyline views and nearby murals two blocks away make for strong photo opportunities.

Check court conditions before playing

The basketball court surface is reportedly worn and slippery, creating a fall hazard on certain days.

Arrive early for parking

Street parking can become muddy in rain and may fill up during popular times.

Plan bathroom stops beforehand

Only a portable restroom is available, which may not meet all families' needs.

How we know this. Place details from the public Google business listing; facilities inferred from 54 visitor reviews; playground outlines and amenity positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), which is also what the size is measured on; aerial imagery from USGS (2022). Attributes appear only when the evidence clears our confidence bar, and review text is never republished. The unedited aerial shows tree cover, which is our second check on shade.
