What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews provide a mixed perspective, with general praise for the park's amenities and divided opinions on the swimming pool. The park is often described as 'iconic' and 'great,' offering ample space, a playground (consistently well-received), a small baseball field, and a rentable pavilion. A unique 'wiggly bouncy squiggle' piece of equipment is highlighted as a favorite. However, the swimming pool receives conflicting feedback: some patrons found it very clean, uncrowded, and enjoyable for kids with minimal restrictions, while others reported it as 'horrible,' 'extremely dirty,' uncleaned, with cracked cement in the main pool, a 'disgusting' kids' pool, and unsanitary bathrooms lacking shower barriers. One reviewer also noted an unsettling experience with 'sus' cabins and a 'scary lady' behind the park.

this park is ICONIC and i luv ur pool as well❤️the wiggly bouncy squiggle piece of equipment at the front of the park is my personal fav cuz like u can be super fat and you’ll be fine and u can bounce ur friends up and down too! ONE THING THO: the little house cabins behind the park r kinda sus.. there was a scary lady there who screamed at us thru the window once but it’s ok we were faster. besides that, i 100% recommend it to anyone who comes here, it’s a rly nice park and area.

This pool was horrible, the bathrooms were extremely dirty, there were no barriers between the showers, and you could tell that no one ever cleaned the pool. The main pool had many cracks in the cement, and the kids pool was disgusting. The only thing good here is the play ground.

This is a great park. You can rent the pavilion, which we do just in case it rains. There is a small baseball field, a playground and a lot of space to do things. Highly recommended!

Nice small local pool, where kids can enjoy swimming without millions of restrictions compare to many other places. Simple summer joys! We love it!
