What Parents Are Saying
Nice little park to walk in; ten times around it, walking, is approximately 10K steps, according to my Fitbit. I’m 5’8”-5’9” with my sneakers on. It’s about 2 blocks from the SHU campus, near Cluck-U.
Great place to have your children play. The yh got basically everything to keep your child occupy and seats for parents but one thing the environment isn't completely clean. Beware of mosquitoes especially when it starts getting dark.
I take my son here on occasion to ride his scooter; and at times when I need to walk and enjoy the quietness, and the beautiful greenery nature has to offer, I walk the perimeter. People seem friendly and in their zone, which is nice...offering a smile of, "hello" and keeping it moving.
