Best park in the city. But getting a lil sketchy from time to time. Wish the city would clean the table areas

Nice playground and a great place for a picnic with lots of tables and a shelter. This is a fantastic city park, big enough to walk or jog around for exercise. Beautiful baseball field as well.
