“It’s fine, lots of space to run and play which is good. A swing set and a couple of slides, it’s a pretty basic setup. I hear kids typically complain about getting sore limbs from the metal climbing tunnel but other than that it’s okay.”

“Pretty small park, not much there but at least you can have a break there if you went for a walk or a run.”
