Description:
|
Central Park is an older park built before the new access guidelines, although there is fairly good access to the rest rooms, pavilion, tennis courts and baseball field. The indoor cooking grill is a nice feature of the pavilion. The tennis courts have paved pathways leading from the parking area. There is also a wheelchair accessible fishing platform and rose garden located at the Central Parkway end of the park. However, access to both is via the roadway with moderate grades. |
