    📍 Local Insights

    🏆 BMX Track Access: The BMX trail is private, requiring club membership or visit arrangement—riders can’t use it freely.

    🌞 Peak Afternoon Visits: The park fills up busiest early Sunday afternoon and evenings midweek, so visit mornings for quiet.

    🍔 Bring Your Own Food: While picnic grills are available, bringing your own cooler is recommended as food options nearby are limited or pricey.

    🌳 Playground Perks: Great shade and nearby adult seating make it comfortable to watch kids play during hot days.
