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.

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.

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!

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!
