I take my kids here to play all the time at the open gym and they always have cool stuff going on the skatepark is awesome The park is big enough to run a mile and one lap they got a great swings and rope slides and all kinds of cool stuff for all ages definitely won the best parks in the city plus it has a great view

★★★★★Samantha Oldham

Such a great park!! Lots to see and do.

★★★★★Rae-views

For gym is cool but they really only had little cars and scooters and my toddle got bored quickly. Staff is friendly. The playground and spray park are awesome.

★★★★Alana Robey

My sis needed to use the restroom. There is no restroom in the main building so you have to work across the park to get to an outdoor one. This park was not here when I was a kid living nearby. The park did not arrive until gentrification did.

★★★★★Allysa Johns

Love this park! Has great views, lots of grassy areas, and the community center has some amazing free programs like toddler gym! Only downside is that the playground (besides the swings which had both baby swings and a swing-chair) is a bit big for younger kids. The steps into and out of the playground are pretty steep, so watch out for that, and even the small slide was too steep for my 16 month old. I totally recommend bringing some bubbles for the grassy areas!
