Description

Located directly across from a police station, the park is only open during the daytime. It is a popular spot for neighborhood dog owners, though visitors frequently note upkeep challenges including litter and overflowing trash. While the children's play area remains a draw, locals are looking forward to future renovations, with many hoping for the return of a willow tree that once stood here.
