The park equipment is mostly for kids 5+, except the baby swings, but that didn't stop my kids from taking on the big kid jungle gym and slides. There were 2 slides at the top of the jungle gym, a tire swing, 2 baby swings, an accessible swing, 2 regular swings, and more. The environment was clean and tidy. There's also plenty of grassy areas, benches, and a trail outside of the playground that a lot of people came to walk or bring their dogs. The only downside is that the ground is made up of woodchips. Besides that, I highly recommend checking it out."

It's very tiny but accommodates a good amount of children with ample seating for the parents or caregivers. There are also trails to take a small walk and enjoy the beautiful flowers and perfectly manicured trees... I'm from just a cpl miles past the farthest SouthSuburb and even tho our parks are 10times larger. This parks equipment,seating and trails spank our parks hands down. Looking forward to going again soon. My 7 and 2 yr old girls ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! The only downfall is parking is very limited and sucks but it's definitely worth the gamble to see if you can park and enjoy a peaceful neighborhood and beautiful park"

The grounds are pretty hilly, so this isn't the best place for a sports game. However, it's great for a game of tag or a bike ride through the curvy path. Close to several fenced in neighborhood, which provides a steady flow of kids. Actually a great place for kids to meet a new friend. Dog walking is great. No bathrooms, and no field house. The playground is wood chip floored. There isn't much parking."
