Good size playground for the kids! There is a basketball court and exercise equipment for those interested. You can take a nice walk and the kids can ride their bikes/scooters. Beautiful place and so peaceful!

“The park is surrounded by quiet neighborhoods, so it's a peaceful place to relax. There is also a good stretch of bicycle path, a scenic pond along the path, a baseball field, and a mini playground. The park is dog-friendly, but dogs must be on a leash at all times. However, not everyone seems to follow this rule, and there are often dog droppings on the ground. The mat slide was also in a very unclean state. There is no parking in or in front of the park, but there are side roads where you can park your vehicle and walk. The neighbors of the park could make this place a heaven if they could follow common etiquette. Overall, Unsworth Reserve - Playground is a great place to spend a day with your family”
