I came here in the evening so I could read from my iPad (since it was starting to get too dark to see an actual book) & enjoy what was left of my frappe from Calloways across the street (I got it near their closing time). I thought the parking lot was good, & there is a building near it with public restrooms near a soccer field for some peewee soccer leagues. It's also near a wooded area, so at dusk you may see some feral cats (they are too afraid of humans to be a problem), which is fun for "wildlife encounters".
The playground area is very nice & spacious. There is a big maze of a play place with multi-level tiers, but lower-level slides--good for kids under 5 to enjoy. And their supervisors & parents would also get a good view. For the bigger kids, there are also swings, a taller slide (in a multi-tiered contraption that looks like a rocket ship), a merry-go-round, & a bridge over a small creek (that may be empty most of the time, except during heavy rains).
For the extremely hot days, it also has a splash park area--an assortment of ground-level fountains, convenient for those kids (& adults!) who ever fantasized about running thru the sprinklers (or a slip-n-slide?) or those who have fun with kiddie pools.
I'd love to come back during the day (but a day when it isn't too hot), since at dusk the bugs start eating you alive! read more
