Nice place to see he large redwoods, plqy areas have little equipment, but lots of room to run around. Redwood walking areas, lower duck pond. I want to the school across the street, and have enjoyed this park for 45 years, I still enjoy it, so I definitely recommend it, though if you are just here to see the redwoods and nature, this is more of a microcosm than a full representation thereof. Great for kids.
