You can find there at least two playgrounds for your kids.

Really great park for kids under 10. Age appropriate sections with a water feature that all the kids loved right in the middle. Lots of sun coverage in the sidelines, and an open and clean bathroom with kids size utilities. Great spot.
Nathan Shanks
Table tennis, and great structures. Great park.

Has a recreation center with public bathrooms. Two playgrounds, one for the 4 and under crowd that is surrounded by a fence, and the other is for slightly older kids. There is a splash pad in between the two that is on from June to early October. There are also basketball and tennis courts, and ball fields. There are about 6 or 7 picnic tables spread about all these areas and lots of benches to sit. There are no grills, and I'm pretty sure barbequing is not permitted. The wheelchair and stroller accessible entrance is on the north side. Free street parking on 3 sides of the park. There is a fenced in area for dogs to run off leash across the street from the soccer field. The soccer field is not DPR property. It belongs to a school nearby. Overall, it is a clean and well maintained park in a nice, quiet neighborhood area. There are several coffee shops, restaurants, and a small deli about 1 mile north of this park, just off Massachusetts.

This is a neighborhood gem, occasionally marred by dog owners who refuse to leash their pets and let them tear up the well-groomed baseball fields and the tennis courts. Other than these thoughtless lawbreakerss, the park offers pickleball as well as an outdoor ping pong table - BYO equipment.

This park was awesome! Loved the fenced-in playground for my twin toddlers. The splash pad was small, but also a good time!

The water is now on for Memorial Day.
Much needed for this heat!

Lots for the different ages to spend hours including baseball, tennis and basketball.
Toddler areas and bathrooms are well maintained and lots of stray toys to keep them busy as well.

This is a nice playground with two play areas. One area is enclosed for smaller kids and the other area is for the older kids. The enclosed play area has a large sand lot. There are plenty of benches and shadey spots to watch your children play or have a picnic. Adjacent is an open field, a basketball court, and tennis courts. There are bathrooms in the recreation center on the grounds. There is free street parking available.
