Always a nice clean, inviting atmosphere. We have been going here for at least 10 years, and still love it.

Great playground to come and explore. All the expected playground equipment, as well as some good climbing structures. Lots of donated bikes and trikes are just hanging around for anyone to use which is always cool. The entire playground is bordered by a sidewalk, perfect for caregivers to stroll around or for little ones to ride along. Some trees offer partial shade. Street parking that is shared by residents, so it may get cramped on the weekends or in evenings. Not a city park, so no restrooms, but there are water fountains.

Any playground without a bathroom is a flawed playground, but otherwise nice.

This park was my favorite in the 90s and my son's favorite in 2004 and still one of a go to spots 4 him now as he's grown but there's a basketball and tennis court on the other side of the park. Now I'm bringing my 2 Year old nephew here in 2021... That's how great this park was and continues to be to our family year after year, generation to generation.... Did you know that on the 4th of July they have a kids parade and all the children decorate their bikes or their wagons and decorate their hair and their outfits and walk with the whole family in the parade .. Or they did im not sure now because of the pandemic. But it was always fun for our family....

Oval drive park is the quieter sibling of oval park. It's more of a picnic and tennis locale with a fairly underused basketball court. It's a pleasant spot for to bring lunch to or to meet a friend.

Quaint little park. Tennis courts and 1/2 basketball court was why I ended up there. The basketball court is in just okay condition. The little park with the playground stuff for kids was in way better shape.

Solid 3.49 stars. Nice park but usually a little busy. It is shaded for the most part. There were some random toys and I'm not sure if they were there as part of the park or not.

Great family park for all ages is kids. Very large grass area to run around. Paved path for walking or bikes loops entire park, but fully visible at all times. Great playground for very young and older kids. Also, lots of donated little vehicles and today. We love this park!

Very nice sized park. My kids loved it. I like that it has a variety of activities for different age groups and a ton of bikes and tricycles, trucks and things for kids to play with. I was raised in both England and Brooklyn, so this park reminded me of my outdoor play in London. The other parents weren't very friendly and everyone seemed to be in cliques and very familiar with each other, but that wouldn't stop me from going again. I was too busy watching my Irish twins to immerse in conversation anyway.

Super cute park. It seems like it would really add a lot to the neighborhood for any young family. The sidewalks are a tad small and could use more keeping after as there were toys left unattended. Also wish there was more recreational areas for adults, but no park is perfect.

To crowded, too many broken toys. Big space with nice walking sidewalks around it. Lots of activities to use. Large green space.

It was awesome. Plenty of playground toys for the kids to play with. Clean and clearly a family community. There is even a basketball and tennis court across the street!

Pretty good dim sum for a bit higher price than our usual place on hwy 55. We had to wait a good while for seating and the variety was limited.
