We loved the park for our family celebration. The spacious open field gave the children plenty of room to play football, Frisbee, sack races, Connect 4, card games, and more, and they also enjoyed the playground. With plenty of picnic tables, family members could spread out, walk around, and sit together to talk. Someone remarked how nice it was to see the children playing instead of using tablets and phones.

I picked this park because I knew it had a bathroom. The bathroom was accessible to my guest. What i didn't know was it was not well kept at all. The bathroom was dark gloomy and full of spiders.
