Lovely but a bit loud from planes take off. But the view is breathtaking

Nice little playground for toddlers. My son enjoyed it

Colleen Nguyen 5 years ago

Decent playground for its size and location. Street parking available. Basketball court butts up against the playground, which isn't too bad. No fenced in tot lot, but the playground amenities itself are nice.

Fun little playground with two ages’ sections and a small gazebo. My son loves coming here, especially when he can take the unofficial path in the woods next to the park.

Matthew Trevett-Smith 8 years ago

For ages 5+. Although there is a small structure for two-year-olds, they will quickly get bored, highly recommend for ages five and above. There is an open field nearby for running, soccer, etc. Overall, the playground is very well kept and clean with unique structures I haven’t seen elsewhere.
