We love this park so much. Only thing is they need restrooms. When we bring our grands someone always needs to potty and finding a restroom is very difficult.

Beautiful park! Good paved sidewalks, nice fountains, fish and ducks you can feed for a quarter, lots of benches in the sun or the shade. You do have to pay to park except on weekends.
