★★★★★Candice Liu WertzThey redid the playground here since the pandemic started and there is a great tot park with sandbox, slide, swings, etc and also a great older kids park with three types of swings, two climbing structures, and a tallish slide. There are also two areas where kids can practice balancing on logs and wood blocks. The baseball diamond next to the park is great for running around and dogs as it’s fairly well gated off.
