Ugh, now I don't know. The park has a few benches. I love how the fountain is lit in the evenings. There are occasional summer concerts here, but mostly it's just a sleepy little park.

The Heman Park I've been to has men sitting around smoking weed, grown men swinging on swings, adults seemingly on the verge of domestic disputes, and double-parked cars blaring music. Did I mention the weed? Pretty sure my kids leave high just playing there. Sadly, despite close proximity to our house, this park has been crossed off our list.

The playground it self is amazing... that would receive 5 stars. I travel a ton in the US- I have…read morekids ages 6 to 25, so I have been to a lot of parks and this has to rank on the top!!!! But- parking... Brentwood Parks And Recreation needs to align with the city to help with signage for parking. The lot is not large enough (maybe 60 spaces not positive) to have two directions. Even with it being clear to many that the natural flow was counterclockwise, a few felt the need to go against the natural flow. Then the streets around the park were full causing the streets capable of only allowing for a single lane of traffic. Even with a clear flow and literally no room for cars traveling in opposite directions... some attempted to push in, causing longer stand stills. It's like trying to go to the zoo/forest park on the weekends. But the park itself is fun!!! I do wish there was more shaded areas within the park itself. Parking needs to be fixed... there is no way an emergency vehicle could have gotten in to help if help was needed. That is a big concern.

This playground is an awesome kid hangout. My kids love this place and can play here all day. This…read moreplayground just opened last weekend and we went here this past Sunday.

The walking trails and loop around the park make for a perfect spot to walk and get some steps in. They have a playground and a lake as well, so it adds a lot of variety. During this particular visit I went for book club. It was such a nice day outside so we decided to have it here. It was perfect to sit in the sunshine and enjoy while discussing our book. Highly suggest people moving book clubs here :) We also love coming here during the holiday season for the lights!

It is so comparative to Central Park in Manhattan in terms of grandeur and liveliness. I don't know if you could walk Forest Park in a day and feel like you saw everything because it winds around and there are smaller trailers that pop in and out of nowhere. Surprisingly, I do not think the city takes care of the park, but an established group called Forest Park Forever, whose history starts back in the 60s, or 80s? They are a group of volunteers who tend to the park - every part of it, in every season, and really beautify it! There is security on patrol often enough so it's not too isolating and scary. There are parking lots closer to the main attractions. There is also street parking here, which adds to it being active but a park you can drive through, bike, and walk.

My little one is a bit small for it, but he made a friend and they just ran up and down and around instead of going down the slide. There are two entrances and therefore, two parking lots - I just wish there was a clearer path from the furthest parking lot. There is a lot of grass, but also a lot of dog poop you need to avoid. It seems well-maintained especially the bathrooms! There was also a free little library at the pavilion which was cute.

Also, it's very open and I can see all parts of the park so even thought it's not fenced, it just feels safe. The kids love that part of it is a tree that you climb inside. Bathrooms are close so great for potty training toddlers who have to go RIGHT NOW. There are 4 picnic tables in the pavilion, 2 drinking fountains and some sunshades with benches. We had our kids' birthday party there and it went extremely well. Super affordable to rent! The only downside is one parking lot is a flat trek to the playground but a longer one and the other parking lot is fairly close but you have to walk down a big hill and so then also back up. So anyone who is more limited with ambulation or someone who fatigues very quickly may not find this playground particularly accessible. Otherwise it is a super fun and simple playground!
