Stop for quick use the restrooms,but surprisingly was locked not closed LOCKED,why they build nice restrooms to be locked, and still seeing a guy that is always sleeping on the picnic tables, bothering the people that assist to this park,I have bad experience with this guy and seen still around for a few years.

Has plenty of trees for shade but no bathrooms. This is a park that is meant for no more than a 2 hour stay. It even has it's own police (park ranger) that patrols the park.

Playground is the main attraction, looked semi worn down though. Did see some picnic tables spread about, not enough though or benches for that matter. You’ll definitely need to bring your own chairs. Park looked clean, dog friendly, not enough walking paths or roomy enough. Didn’t see access to restrooms.

After I pick up my kids from school we go to this park...there's always a taco truck parked there just in case we're hungry.
