Parent Perks:
Lots of seating and shade make this park surprisingly comfortable for parents.

There’s also enough space to spread out for group meetups or homeschool park days.
Good to Know:
- The playground can get very busy on beautiful weekends and school breaks.
- Bring towels or a change of clothes if your kids love the misting area.
- Disc golf players share some surrounding park space, so keep an eye on little wanderers.
- Most of the playground has a mix of sun and shade, but sunscreen is still a good idea in summer.
