Location of the park draws homeless people however the play structures were recently updated and are amazing for toddlers as well as older pre teens. Half the play structures are shaded perfect for the summer. There is a huge grass area where you can toss a football or fly a kite. I did not pay attention to the basket hoops, handball wall, tennis courts, bathrooms or the baseball area. Walking distance to restaurants donut shop and liquor store.

Great city park, restrooms, tons of game options from basketball to tennis to wall ball, and hang out areas like picnic tables and BBQ grills. There are usually 1 or 2 vendors along the road/sidewalk, selling food/snacks if you're hungry. Great meetup for Pokémon Go players too, and dog walking. If you want to see a few hundred ground squirrels in one place, head over between the tennis courts and restrooms.

I Love this place, a great little hike uphill yet with beautiful sunny views of the valley called Haven...on its streets. Top views were awesome 😎
