3 months agoProbably one of the best bets for summertime playground use because of all the trees here. There are multiple covered pavilion areas. It’s also good for pokemon go. Even on a rainy day you could have a mini car safari. Also has some pretty trees in the fall!

9 months agoI went to the botanical garden there and there were a lot of people having family gatherings under the pavilions and using the picnic tables. Lots of shade at the park, green grass, and a playground for the kids.

3 years agoI did not expect this beautiful park inside city. Initially I thought it is private park because it has gate that opens and closes daily. But I figured it’s a managed park by department of park and recreation. Parking inside park is free. They have planetarium as well. Good place for gathering and walking around through the day.

5 years agoWhat a beautiful place to go walk! First off they have picnic tables, with trash cans and a covering over the tables. They have a big playground area which is safe for all ages. It looks like a new playground with nice bright colors. There is a beautiful garden area with a bridge and benches galore. We loved walking there prior to sunset to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and tree buds. Go enjoy it today!
