Wish there were restrooms.
Very nice park in a quiet and safe area. Perfect for a lunch picnic (I did exactly that). The playground is spacious and has 3 different play areas for children of all ages, I love the additional smaller playground for the little ones (my guess would be ages 2-4). There are picnic tables located at the park as well with trash can in close distance! I would also recommend this park for taking photos in nature, family outings and just a quick getaway for a few hours for those who like to sit in nature. I enjoyed my visit and loved how friendly the women were, nowadays people usually keep contact very limited and maintain a certain distance so that felt great! Not a busy park at all. Highly recommend!
Nice park. Tennis courts have a few small cracks, nets were good, could be tighter. Lots of people, might have been game night!? Definitely going visiting again.
A nice, quaint park with multiple good tennis courts, and a basketball court, along with a large playground. There is also a part of the park dedicated to Anne Frank... it’s like a mini museum in a sense. Worth visiting for sure, even just to see the “mini museum”.
Be careful on parking!- There's no signs here on parking and they aren't consistent. If parking at night or on weekend's they choose what time they want to open and close the gates. If your vehicle is parked when they choose to close you will get a ticket. The town has no answer for why parking violations are being given here since there's nothing on the website or physically at the park that states parking hours.
Has a tennis court, basketball court, wall to play wall ball, and a baseball field. Also a space to set up a volleyball net. Their playground is a nice size with monkey bars, swings, a tire swing, and slides. It has a nice size parking lot but I don't like the fact there is no parking lines to really space out cars. It can be tricky when there's a big crowd there. Also no bathrooms!! This is why I couldn't give 5 stars.
I visited this park yesterday because it was included in a local trail guide. Although I knew from the description that the park was relatively small, the guide said that the park was laid out in a loop, so I thought I could just walk around it several times to get my daily exercise. No such luck. There is no trail (unless you consider trampled down grass in a field to be a trail). Also, you're forced to walk in a baseball field part of the time and would definitely get in the kids' way if a game was on. It took me about 7 minutes to walk the entire park.
Bottom line -- if you want to bring your kids to a playground or if you want to o play tennis, basketball or baseball you'll probably like this park. If you're going there for a walk or hike, you'll be very disappointed.
