Insider tips

Bring portable sun protection, as the main playground and field areas have limited natural canopy cover.

Use the perimeter trails early in the morning to avoid the heat and peak youth sports practice times.

Parking can become highly congested during weekday evenings and weekend mornings due to scheduled team sports.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to park on the grass or overflow areas if the primary lots are full, as this is strictly monitored during sports season.

Etiquette

Pets must be kept on a leash at all times and owners are required to clean up waste immediately; standard park conduct rules apply.
