Limited playground for young children
The small kids' area has no swings and suits older children better than toddlers or preschoolers.
Bring a picnic and plan activities
Tables and picnic space exist, but seating is limited and shade is scarce, so arrive prepared.
Check the basketball court surface
The blacktop is slippery and can be hazardous; double rims make shooting unforgiving for casual players.
