"Kids love this park, there are two big play scape areas. A basketball court, a big field and a trail. There is a bathroom right at the front along with plenty of parking. A pavilion with picnic tables. Kids 2-10 yo had a blast. We will be back!"
Almita Hein
"Nice and quiet neighborhood park with lots of facilities/play set. Google map took me to an adjacent business park and walked over here. This park has it’s own parking lot. Will try to fix this in the google map.
Update: this park extended to the other side of Pike road via a under pass tunnel."
