"This place has a really nice memorial, when the crowds aren’t there it’s pretty quiet. My kids and I love this place in the summer and spring for the Pokémon spots this area is known for. The equipment is nice and it’s one of a few places in town I can count on to provide a great outdoor experience for our family."
