My kids LOVE this park. It is perfect for my kids ages, they are 7 and 3. We also like to walk up to the reservoir which has a nice big walking loop around the water.
Preston's Playground
This park is great for all ages. It's never too busy and is perfect for toddlers up through adults. It has basketball courts, a soccer field, pavilion, walking paths, and plenty of playground equipment.
