A small size Reserve with a kid's playground. Playing equipments are quite new, it has a mini flying fox, slides, swings, etc. On the way to Mission Bay and not too many kids here, provided all the necessary equipments, it is actually quite nice for kids to spend some time here. The Reserve itself it's good for walking your dogs or kids. Overall nice place to be and recommended 👍
