This park has a nice playground for the littles, picnic tables, and room to fly kites, as well as usually being unpopulated.

Please bring your family and friends who might want to hang out. Bring your own kites. If you don't want to sit at the picnic tables or on the playground equipment, bring your own folding chair. And bring your own beverage. Since it's April, we're skipping the traditional ice cream.
