It is a really nice park with a place to play baseball/softball, hockey and skating in the winter, playground equipment and picnic tables and restrooms for public use too. There is also a dog park and lots of open space to play croquet or whatever you enjoy.

The staff here are friendly and prioritize People's Health above anything else. When I go here I see happy individuals, who have activities, music and TV to keep them busy. I hope that when I am older and need a place to be cared for, it is a place like mother Joe's.
