Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up between noon and 5pm on weekends, forcing you to hunt for street spots or use.
Bring a stroller-friendly route
The paved 0.2-mile loop works well for strollers, but the playground itself has dirt ground that gets muddy after rain.
Plan for limited amenities
