Good for mixed ages

Separate playground equipment serves both toddlers and older children, with well-maintained padded ground.

Plenty of shade for caregivers

A gazebo with bench seating provides comfortable spots to watch children play.

Arrive after school hours

Parking fills up during school pickup times since the lot serves Housman Middle School.

Watch the Silver Road entrance

The gate facing Silver Road does not close fully, so young runners can escape onto the busy street.

Bring water or plan bathroom breaks

The park has a working water fountain but no restroom facilities.
