This is a fantastic park with a lot of amenities.  I wouldn't recommend it in the summer because there is NO SHADE whatsoever.  But for all the other seasons, it's a fun place.  There's a paved trail that circles the park, good for walking/jogging while the kids play, or for riding bikes.  The lack of trees makes it a good place to fly kites.

Here's the soccer field with the basketball court in the distance.

There are two playgrounds; one for toddlers and one for older kids.  This is the larger one.  some parts of it are toddler friendly, but it has enough challenges for preschool and school aged children.

 Here are a few more pictures of it.  My three year old was a little intimidated by the bridge in the middle (can I even call it a bridge?  It's kind of like stepping stones but suspended in the air), but there are stairs at either end of the structure so all the slides can be accessed without going across it.

The swings are located near the bigger of the two playgrounds.  A bucket swing was missing when we visited...

Here's the smaller playground.  It's a great size for toddlers and there's really nothing to fall off of (always a plus!).  One of the things I really like about this park is that everything is close enough together that you can easily see your kids on either playground/swings/etc. if they want to play in separate areas.
