Awesome place!! My kids love going there, the staff are so nice and helpful. The afterschool program my kids enjoy going there.

★★★★William Jones

I stay around the Van Buskirk area so I used to go to the Psrk a lot but not so much lately. And my nephew loves it. Always kids there for him to play with. Also it's been a great park for fishing, biking, boating, walking. Good safe park.

We have been learning so much about the life of Trees & how important they are to us & for us . I believe if everyone knew the importance behind the life of Trees everyone would realize how blessed we are to those that have taken the time to teach us about them we would give them the biggest hugs we could & let them know how truly grateful we are . So to those that share the knowledge they took the time to learn about all they have thank you for sharing with us . Please continue to share with the world cause we never know who is hungry for the knowledge .

My little one loved running the walkways but I was disappointed in the lack of upkeep of the play structure and the flooring. It seems they have removed all the slides and resorted to plywood and chains to block things off. I wouldn’t call this ADA accessible anymore with the woodchips filling in the missing sections of floor. Plenty of parking and lots going on at this park, would love to see it fixed up!

Well organized program for kids ! I love here because they have a fitness room. $10 will give you access to use it per month 💪👏🎉. I like the summer program "very cheap" from 8 to 12 your kid will be doing something proactive and also educational. I love my community 🌹❤✌🎉📣
