Official listing
Best for kids ages 5-12
The covered playground has rope climbing and a train structure but lacks swings and slides for younger toddlers.
Plan for tricky directions
Use Century Drive to reach the parking lot, as Google Maps directions may guide you incorrectly to this tucked-away location.
Ideal for soccer practice fields
Open grass fields accommodate youth soccer teams, though coaches should bring their own goals as permanent ones may be missing.
Go early morning for solitude
The park is rarely crowded, especially during weekday mornings when you may have the walking path entirely to yourself.
Bring sun protection in summer
Limited tree coverage means the playground and walking path offer minimal shade during hot months or midday visits.
