Has a great bike/walking loop. Not too difficult for little kids to ride. Nice open setting. Plenty of room to run. Playground for big and lil kids. Hill for sledding in winter.

We've had several birthday parties here. The kids have lots of fun and there's plenty of room for us older folks to watch the kids and visit.
