Families looking for a longer outing will also find restrooms, picnic tables, shelters, parking, trails, and a broad park setting that can work for mixed-age visits.

Accessibility & Comfort

These details reflect published sources and dated reports, not an ADA inspection. Confirm the specific supports and barriers that matter for your visit.

Considerations
The city confirms handicap-friendly status but does not publish a full equipment-by-equipment accessibility inventory on the facility page.Because the park is large, some families may want to scout the route from parking to the playground.
