Description




This jointly operated recreation space pairs play areas and handball courts with its basketball setup, though getting inside can be unpredictable. Visitors report finding the gates locked during scheduled daytime hours without explanation or signs. When the courts are open, players will find double rims and slightly uneven pavement, but the park's low-key crowd usually makes it easy to claim a spot for a group game.
