About the Location

Park Features

Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, this 3.2-acre green oasis gives locals a breath of fresh air without having to venture far from home. Penstemon Park is your go-to spot whether you're looking to break a sweat or simply unwind outdoors.

The park sits right in the heart of the community, making it a quick walk for many nearby residents. You'll discover a basketball court for shooting hoops, plenty of open grassy areas meant for tossing a frisbee or just lounging with a book, and picnic areas where you can enjoy a casual outdoor meal.

Playground

Kids can burn off energy at the park's playground, but it's worth noting that some equipment has seen better days. Over time, certain playground pieces have been updated or removed altogether.

The playground might have a few wear-and-tear issues here and there, so you'll want to keep an eye on the little ones while they explore and play.

Natural Heritage

Wondering about the name? The park pays homage to the penstemon, a North American native flowering plant known for its colorful tubular blooms. It's a subtle nod to the local flora that makes this region special.

Visitor Information

The park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 10PM. Feel free to bring your four-legged friends along, but remember to keep them leashed - it helps protect the grass and ensures everyone can enjoy their time at the park.
