♿️ It is completely accessible and the path is entirely paved. I walked it twice and almost got 2 miles in for the day. There are several entrances from neighborhoods, but I only found one main entrance. There are several handicap spots, but the parking lot is paved. As you walk into the park on your right, you'll notice a beautiful grilling area. Needs some maintenance and cleaning, but it had mosaic tile for decoration in the brick, and it's covered by a large pavilion. Continuing, you'll see a larger pavilion, almost stage like with picnic tables, and I believe public restrooms. There is a public pool above all this, not sure of cost, if you need to be a resident, it was busy and only one person was working. There was a creek or rain runoff area on the left of the path that needs slight maintenance bc it is overgrown, and you can not really see anything. I know the Friends of Crestwood take care of a lot of this, and when you get near the tennis courts, you'll see solar panels that power lights for the courts. They have also donated lots of patio furniture for that area. New stairs leading up to a road with solar lighting on the stairs adds a nice touch. A picnic area in the shade right across from Girls INC. There are a few historic signs that tell a lot about the history of the area and who developed what. There is a practice football field/soccer field available. A playground. The path is concrete, and the entirety of the walk is mild. With just a little pruning, you could see the water that runs the entirety of the park. Beautiful, kept up, and next door to Seasick Records, Thank You Bookstore, and Crestwood Tavern. You also have the Filling Station to visit after your walk as a reward.

Went to see a little league lacrosse game and it was great! Only issue was there was no parking lot. We had to park on the street and with both sides of the street filled with cars, there was no way for two way traffic to exist.

Nice little park in a nice little neighborhood. Great for walking, sports games and picnics. Has a swimming pool, playground and tennis court. Also has a pavilion with a fireplace and restrooms. I visited this park on July, 10 2018 and it says the pool is closed on Sundays & Tuesdays. Parking is one way in and one way out.

Great place for a peace of mind or to get cardio or to even catch peewee football at the right time of year. With a private feel and food options near by I hope they add more to give a cozy feel it already has and some covering

It's always to nice and peaceful. Even when the park is full of families and activities, it's always a spot to just sit and relax. My Sunday afternoon getaway.
