I love this park . It's like the United Nations. I have a multicultural family and we feel very comfortable and fit right in when we come here, and the kids absolutely love it!

It would be a nicer park if people who come from other neighborhoods would clean up after themselves. They pull tables, grills, chairs out of their cars then eat, drink and leave. With the trash cans

Austin Duus

This is a great place to walk your dog or have a barbecue
