Robert Brooks park is a small neighborhood park. The playground equipment has several slides of various heights, and lots of different apparatuses to balance and hang on. There are 2 sling swings on the swing set. The equipment is really too big for toddlers but perfect for preschool and school-aged kids. The baseball field gives kids a large area to run around in. Running between the playground and the field is a creek, and there's a wooden bridge that connects the two areas. The creek looks inviting to kids, but there is a sign at the front of the park stating "Warning, do not play, swim or fish. Possible sewage overflow. Exposure to water may cause illness."
