Best for toddlers and picnics
The playground suits very young children well, but older kids may lose interest within 20 minutes.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up quickly, especially Saturday and Sunday mornings when people reserve spots for events.
Check playground sand before use
Sand contains fallen leaves, tree debris, and occasional trash from surrounding trees.
Pick up dog waste yourself
Many dog owners do not clean up after their pets, leaving droppings throughout the grass.
Plan for shade on hot days
Large mature trees provide excellent shade, though shaded grass can be moist and cool spots drier.
