I've grown up in one house and neighborhood all my life and me and my friends and family have fond memories of the park. I remember when I was 4 years old. I would purposely wake up at 4 or 5am on a winter day to walk the dog with my grandmother and see the sunrise from the highest point in the park. It's a great place to have BBQs or hang out with friends. In the winter the park is stunning.
