Park far from the playground
The parking lot is on the far side of the park with no direct path, requiring a walk.
Great for open space play
The park offers expansive open fields ideal for running, playing sports, and letting kids burn energy without structured activities.
Bring a portable bathroom plan
On-site bathrooms are either absent or limited to a portable toilet, so plan accordingly or use nearby Walgreens.
Check field conditions after rain
