Great for active families

The park offers basketball courts, a soccer pitch, open space, and a free splash pad in one location.

Bring your own shade

The park lacks sufficient shading, so pack an umbrella or pop-up tent for hot days.

No restrooms available

Plan bathroom breaks before arriving, as the park has no public facilities.

Check if park is open first

How we know this. Place details from the public Google business listing; facilities inferred from 32 visitor reviews; playground outlines and amenity positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), which is also what the size is measured on; aerial imagery from USGS (2022). Attributes appear only when the evidence clears our confidence bar, and review text is never republished. The unedited aerial shows tree cover, which is our second check on shade.
