Good to know

Good for a picnic
Picnic facilities on site — room to sit and eat near the play area.
Official listing
Expect outdated equipment
The playground has swings and structures but reviewers note the equipment is old and could use upgrades.
Perfect for active families
The half-mile paved loop trail, basketball courts, open fields, and shaded picnic areas suit running, walking, and gatherings.
Plan parking ahead
Multiple reviewers report no public parking lot, making access difficult unless you live walking distance away.
Visit on weekdays for solitude
The park stays uncrowded on most days, though weekends see busier use with organized sports activities.
Bring water in summer heat
Abundant trees and shaded areas make it suitable for hot weather, though one water fountain is the only reported amenity.
