Further information is available on their web & media sites. It's free so bring your own skates and protective gear. No rentals. Fun people with all sort of levels show up. You can blade or roller skate on the outdoor hockey rink. They play fun music and even do routine type dances that you can join in on too. Really fun! This event truly brings up childhood memories and nostalgia for me!

And honestly, it really does have something for everyone: basketball courts, tennis courts, soccer fields, a skate park, playgrounds for both little ones and older kids, and two baseball fields. It's a true community park. The one thing I'd love to see improve is the upkeep like dog waste on the ground is a recurring issue, and the lights over the baseball fields don't always cooperate at night. But for a neighborhood park that also runs summer camps through the community center, it's exactly what a good local park should be. We appreciate it.

Libby Park is a small hidden gem tucked right in the middle of a residential neighborhood. From the…read moreoutside, it feels like a quiet, private little spot, but once you walk down the stairs, it really opens up. One of my favorite parts was the view of the lake. It's peaceful and makes for a really nice walk, especially with the trail that loops around it. The park itself is well laid out with a small soccer area, walking path, benches, picnic seating, and a playground, which makes it great for a casual outing with kids. That said, there are a couple things to keep in mind. You do have to walk down stairs to access the park, which might be tricky if you have a stroller (I didn't notice a ramp, but I could have missed it). Also, while there's plenty of street parking, there isn't a dedicated lot. The only downside for me was the amount of duck feces around the lake area, especially on or near some of the benches, which made it a little less enjoyable to sit and relax by the water. Overall, it's a nice little neighborhood park and a great spot if you're nearby and want to take the kids out for a quick stroll or playdate.

We spent about 2 hours here and the entire time, place was packed with kids to play with. Cardboard hill slide was a HUGE hit! I was very impressed as all the kids were super respectful and careful when sliding down the hill and there were very minimal collisions to what you'd expect. Play area in the park is not too extensive so it is easy to keep an eye on your kids and with so many parents around, the play-space felt very safe. This park was an absolute gem of a find!

A skatepark and a playground and even a rec center with a snack bar. Why isn't it five stars? Because the parking is atrocious. I agree with Colleen who said that they should have a crosswalk for the people who have to cross the street because it is a busy road with no crosswalks or signals. These are families with children strollers. They didn't really think it out when they built this area. So minus two stars for that because it most definitely was not thought out the ratio of parking lot to actual space. The other reason is because it's absolutely dangerous even in the smart parking lot because it's so small. I don't come to the park to be afraid of getting ran over

The pickleball courts are also very nice but there are some areas that have been worn out, mostly behind the baseline. But nice seating area and efficient paddle system to rotate people in and out. I only wish it was closer to me.
