Description
This neighborhood gathering spot functions as a vibrant community space where the focus is firmly on active recreation. Beyond the primary games, you will often see locals roller skating or skateboarding. For paddle ball players, two courts regularly draw highly competitive games. While the paved spaces are well-maintained, visitors caution that the park is less geared toward very young children.
