3.5 stars for the actual park, 0 stars for overall experience.
I've been to Lange Park about 6 times with my 3 year old. The playground is a nice size and we typically can spend an hour there. There is also a small, paved walking loop adjacent to the playground, where I've taken my son's scooter to ride along it. It's especially nice since it's fenced in and far from any cars.
The reason I have told myself the last 2 times I've visited that I will never return are the individuals that tend to frequent the park. I once interrupted a grown, likely drunk or hungover adult male who was napping on the playground equipment. Most recently, 2 days ago, a woman who seemed to live nearby, walked into the playground and allowed her dog to #2 in the grass, turned around and walked out. She purposely took her dog to s#*t on the playground and left. Not only that, but there are bags and receptacles available in the park to take care of dog waste. And, this wasn't the first time there were other parents at the park just free flowing with the F bombs with toddlers around.
It's really too bad. It's a nice little park but the trashy people who frequent there make it unusable for me. read more
