They've got a nice basketball court and tennis court that are both well maintained. There's plenty of space for people to do cookouts too. Parking is fairly limited so plan on parking down the street. Two public bathrooms and a playground are make this a good place to bring kids. The park also features a large grassy area for sports like frisbee or cricket.

Pretty quiet park with full court basketball and a tennis court. Has a bathroom and a playground area with sand for younger kids. Nice open field, great for football, soccer or ultimate. Only ding would be a smallish parking lot though I actually count it as a plus as probably helps it from becoming super crowded.

This is a small park attached to a soccer field. There is inadequate parking for even the smallest of gatherings. There is some street parking near the park, but those fill up fast. I wouldn't reccomend trying to visit over the weekend due to the lack of parking and small play area. It does have clean, well lit and stocked bathrooms that are open only during park hours.

Awesome, non crowded park. Great for kids, clean bathrooms, good tennis and basketball courts, and a good little barbeque area. Get there early if you want to use it on a Saturday. Really limited parking, so you'll wind up on the street quite often.

Cute, quiet park tucked away in a cute, quiet neighborhood. Perfect for bday parties. 2 clean gender neutral bathrooms.

Jenny Strand Park is more for adults, while Westwood Oaks Park a few blocks away is more for kids. Jenny Strand is small, but makes the most of its size. Good sized trees rim the park, making the most of the sight lines. The are nice big trees inside the park for shade, well sighted picnic tables, a basketball court, and a nice sized open green.
