Positive Reviews:
Brian Chapman: ★★★★
Excellent park for your dog to run free!
Neutral Reviews:
J Vandekamp: ★★★
Very convenient park in the neighborhood. Trees need to be trimmed. I use the BF app to let know about graffiti and items that need repair. Two areas of the slide, one blocked off with wood, need to be replaced.
Laurie Eagleson: ★★★
Neighborhood Park - consistently patronized by families, groups, walkers, 4:20, pikachu, and dog owners. Amenities include: B-ball courts, tennis courts, enclosed dog park, updated children's area, horseshoe pits, many tables and BBQ grills, and two multi-user restrooms (run down, no doors on stalls, but cleaned routinely). P.G. players: there are two gyms and five poke stops. Frequented by homeless, but I haven't seen problems. Always wise to be aware of your surroundings. Because it's older, there are many large trees providing lots of shade 🌳🌳🌳
Jonathan Corker: ★★★
Now that theres new development, the park is now lookin more clean to come to. The play ground still needs some more up keeping for my kids to play play on. If you walk up close to the play fround, the dirtier it is. Squaters like to leave there food and trash, but still a nice place to come and get your dog out the house and run around in that dog area.
