So for a ride back, we looked up a park to stop at on our way home. Optimist Park came up on Yelp and the pictures looked promising. We stopped here and I dropped off the fam while I went and grabbed lunch. It was not well covered, but it wasn't way too hot for our kids to play. Once I picked up lunch, they had great tables for us to dine after a good playtime. The bathrooms were clean and I would recommend this park for anyone in our same situation. I wish we had this park in our neighborhood. Great stop if you are looking for a good place to get some energy out for the kiddos.
