A good playground outside - fun for the summer!

★★★★★Joe Ament

Great playground. Soccer field is perfect for the kids. Newly renovated tennis courts. Popular place after school lets out

I was staying in the Women's Shelter there (or at least I tried to) and had to leave in an ambulance twice on two consecutive nights because of the gas fumes coming thru the vents from Ben Nielsen's Automotive #nextdoor. I was having #seizures in there and #IT was an overall negative experience for me. Ion know what the center is like for activities. They really need to shut down that shelter operation there. The staff is ghetto, rude, and abusive, and the homeless people aren't being helped anyway.

★★★★★Bobbi DeAnda

This park is SOOOO COOL! Especially for kids of different ages. There’s multiple swings (although the baby swing is broken right now - if that doesn’t get fixed I’ll update this review accordingly), multiple play areas, outdoor musical instruments, and SO MANY SPOTS FOR CLIMBING especially for bigger kids. There’s a bug field with a walking path. We will definitely be visiting this park more often!

★★★★Jabari Clark

Nice facility with plenty of off street parking. Spacious and good programs for children practicing different sports. The children's park is well built and has a nice circular path for children to run or ride bicycles. Fun place and very convenient for those in the neighborhood.
