Tiny but well designed: a separate area for the littlest ones, a pirate ship, animal tracks set into the concrete and a water pad in summer. One entrance in and out, which parents mention as reassuring. Parking is the drawback, just a handful of spaces plus street. It closes early evening, so check hours.
A fully-enclosed neighborhood park, which means little ones can run free without a parent's constant worry about a wandering escape. Two sets of play equipment, a shaded picnic shelter and a seasonal splash pad make it a low-key alternative to busier Central Park — a favorite for birthday parties.

Great little park that all my grandkids (even the older ones!) adore! We love that there is a separate play area for the "littles" and only one entrance/exit to the park, which to us makes it more secure. The water pad in the summer months is always a hit. The kids love the "animal tracks" in the cement and guessing which animal made them. The only negativec is the limited parking.
