Highlights:

• The playground is at the top of a huge, grassy hill which the kids love to roll down
  
• Bring your dog or bike and make a trip around the loop
  
• It's easy to see the kids when you supervise from the small covered picnic table
• Two separate play structures with great slides and also 2 bench swings/2 baby swings
  
• Plenty of parking along the street and seems really safe with lots of people coming and going from residential neighborhood.
  

Be Aware:

• NO bathroom and water-fountain is capped off
  
• Only hazards are the kids possibly running off toward the street or falling in the rocky/rough concrete drainage ditch by the drinking fountain which leads down toward the street (somehow this ditch is a huge kid magnet)
