Jack Greenberg★★★★★
Ideal American park and town. Pickleball was fun here there is a good community of players. The park is nice and clean. Bocce group looked like they were having fun. Plus little league practice. This is a great town.

Great park for watching two kids on your own. It’s a manageable size, and both babies and toddlers can enjoy the well-equipped playground. There are clean and convenient restrooms both indoors and outdoors.
The large grassy area is perfect for picnics, too. Parking is usually pretty full, but you can often find street parking nearby if you look around. It’s also within walking distance of downtown, making it easy to grab lunch or do a bit of shopping.

Very beautiful. Plus there is so many activities that can be done here. The environment is super peaceful. But the bathrooms are also super nasty they need to be attended to more. But I will most definitely be coming back with the kids.
