Gansberger Park (Assessed by Adrian)


Gansberger Park
At the intersection of Kay and Calaroga

This park brought back memories of when I used to come here when I was three years old. It was very nice to be back in this park again. I was shocked to see how big it was because I hadn’t remembered it being so large. In terms of the safety of the park location, I feel only okay about safety in this park. There is not water fountain at this park, so remember to bring your own water!
