It is a good park, for a day time event.  I wouldn't go there after dark.

Actually, the park looks quite well groomed, aside for some of the
weed-control netting on the ground showing through on the outer parts. They
still have the train and all of the kids playstuff there too. Recently had
my family reuninon there -- quite a nice park. I cast my vote for it as
well. =o)
