Trails and Paths
Paths were all at least 36 inches wide. The pavement was very rough and bumpy, with many potholes. Some potholes were quite large. The south side of the park is on a steep hill. The north end of the park is fairly flat, but gets steep quickly as you move to the center of the park.
-
Seating
There are more than 3 different kinds of seating options available, and multiple kinds of picnic tables available. There is about one seating option for roughly every ten feet of the paved path through the park. Some of the picnic tables’ seats are 12 inch squares, and are really small. Only one of the picnic tables is reachable by a paved path.

Spending Time
The playground sign states that it is intended for kids ages 5-12, and has a variety of equipment. The playground pit is filled with wood chips rather than the traditional sand. About a third to half of the park is not visible from outside of the park, due to the steep hill, so it’s difficult to anticipate the sensory experience of the park before entering. The trees are tall and leafy, and provide shade to the south side of the park. The north side of the park has significantly fewer trees, and is much sunnier. The basketball court on the northwest side corner of the park has torn up pavement, and only one hoop.

Transportation
The 11 line has a stop that is one short block away from the park, with moderate traffic. The 17 and 18 lines share a stop that is two short blocks away from the park with slightly more traffic.
-
Signage
There was very little signage in the park at all. The sign naming the park is only visible from the corners of the park, and the signs are not well kept. All signs are only in English.
-
Sanitation
There are no available bathrooms, except a portapotty, or access to water for people in the park. There are two total pairs of trash and recycling bins and they were all in one corner of the park.
