A lot of special events include a Farmer's Market, a Food Truck Rodeo, and of course a playground!

Centrally located playground and park area with slides and climbing structures. The area has a soft playground surface, which is helpful for the hill-like structure. Kids 3 and up will be most comfortable with the challenges of the space. 

There is a skate park up the hill for the big kids.

A coffee shop and Rise Chicken are just one block away, and there is also a food hall opening soon.
