Arriving at the park it is tucked into a neighborhood. You will need to watch for the City Park signs when you are near. It seems small, but when you drive in you can see that it is pretty expansive. The park recently had many upgrades completed by the City thanks to donations.
The playground is a little bit of a walk from the parking lot, especially if you have small children. You have to go around the tennis courts (newly refinished), hockey rink, and picnic shelter to get to the playground. The playground has a nice sidewalk to get to it so a stroller might help in getting to and from.
The play area has a 2 main play structures, a few scattered small play pieces, and a row of swings. The play structures are geared toward toddlers and then older children. The play surface is wood chips. There is a bench for parents to monitor the play ground from along with the picnic shelter in close proximity.
The park was relatively quiet while we were there. It is a bit sunny since the trees near the play area are still small. The rest of the park is primarily grass and wetlands. There are is a soccer field and baseball field along with a walking trail through the park. It is nice that while the park has water it is not easily accessible to young children since the shores are covered in tall grass.
We enjoyed checking out the double swing. It was fun as a parent to be able to see his face up close. The swing was super easy to move even when actively swinging. It is different then many of the double swings I have seen as it has chains like a traditional swing instead of the "bar shape".
