"The park is mainly for Fairfax little league baseball but during the off seasons it's s quiet place to picnic or have a small BBQ with their grills and tables. I mainly use their power outlets to charge my phone and enjoy sitting outside watching Netflix. They also have two porta potties that are cleaned every 4 days"
