Brooks (Oscar) Park

A busy, well-maintained park with tennis, horseshoes, baseball, a water feature, walking trail and a playground that suits more than just little children. Parking is the persistent friction point.

How we know this

Every value above comes from what visitors described on site, read one park at a time. Where accounts disagree we say so rather than picking a side. Where nobody has mentioned something, we leave it blank and ask you.
