Wow. The amenities of this park are impressive. Pickle ball courts, little league fields, picnic areas, restrooms. They did a great job overhauling this place. It’s VERY dog friendly and brings out the spirit of the man it’s named for.

Beautiful pickleball and tennis courts. The pickleball courts are separated into four enclosures each with two courts. Paddle system is not typically used at the time of this review, but people are generally welcoming as long as you ask if you can rotate in.

The park is great! They have done a good job! I've been going to that park for 30 years, It was pretty rough. So I understand the war with drug addicts and homeless that try to sleep there. But I am neither. Today I just got to the park, there's a dumbbell I found at the edge of the park where people work out and do yoga and mid evil ceromonies and kids play, people walk there dogs that If no ones there I like to workout. 3 cops showed up today told me I'm camping out, I pointed out I have a fresh drink loaded with ice, I'm wearing nice clothes, expensive shoes, an apple smart watch, I'm clean my nails are clean, I'm solid muscle you can tell I work out, I'm pretty clean cut. I'm 46 I'm have no history of crimes since I was very young. I have nothing but the clothes I have on and a small backpack I just bought it has creatine, a charger, cool water cologne, and deodorant can't fit anything else in it. I'm standing up I have a 35 pound dumbbell next to me. I pointed out there's a tent with a bunch of garbage around that can be seen from the pickleball court that was 50ft away and they never went over there messing with that person but told me I'm band for camping out. I don't know h

Have visited this park since '65,always beautiful. Plenty of space. Ball fields that have hosted softball,flag football,a visit from the King and his Court(a softball fast pitch 4 man team)",etc. Racquetball courts at one time and tennis courts. Personally, I enjoy picking up burgers at Macs on 10th Ave. and enjoying them here(a tradition). Equipment for the kids. I would consider this park a historic place and not only because of it's name but also because of it's name.
