"Great Park that hosts many different outdoor opportunities. There is a large jungle gym for the little ones and as well as splash pad in the summer where the water sprinkles out of the ground. In the winter there was a small ice rink this past year currently looks melted. There are Community Gardens and the stop Community Food Center right in the middle of the park inside the Wytchwood Barns. There is a closed dog pen for dogs to run around in and volleyball courts in the summer."
