This park is situated snugly between two different housing developments. It always has at least three dogs being walked around it, as well as kids on the grass. There's two tennis courts, some play structures grounded in sand, a little seating area with logs, and a whole lot of grassy space. The backside of the park is up against a field that for some reason always has geese in it. This park's ideal for playing frisbee or catch, without fear of the place getting too crowded thanks to its hidden location. Or even just studying at the top of the little grassy hill and watching everyone else. Just be wary if you have food—unleashed dogs love to come up and try to lick your unsuspecting face buried in some book, thanks to a few sandwiches and Goldfish crackers.

It appears that the city's open container ordinance does not apply to this park.

The hill is referred to as the toilet bowl —StevenDaubert
