Reviews
Playground is fantastic and the fields are kept up well enough for a public park. The parking can get a little crowded but it’s usually manageable. There are folks who feel entitled enough to park on the grass and make their own spot but don’t be like them.
I am not writing this review to recommend the things praised in other reviews, I am giving it this score because of the community garden that is in the park. I have been gardening here for the past three years and look forward to many more. During the main growing season, representatives from the County’s master gardener program are there on certain Saturdays to help answer any gathering questions you may have. Other gardeners who tend plots are also very helpful and are willing to lend a hand or a tool if you need something special.
Pretty nice park, keeps the kids busy for hours and usually there is an ice cream truck.
Large fields to run in, port-a-potties. Some shade over tables, not enough shade over playground.
Fun got small kids. Great for young soccer game players. Dog park, too! Hard to best! 💜💯 …
A wonderful community park. Needs lights and restroom facilities!
Great park. Updated Mount Vernon Trail out front and has an artificial turf soccer field. Pretty good size playground and baseball fields all around. Nice size with a dog park and community garden as well. The dog park and garden was a nice surprise.
Very nice park and playground. The turf soccer fields were great too. The ice cream truck did great business every time a soccer game finished.
