I love the location of this park. It’s a small clean park with a carousel and playground. There’s also an awesome mini golf course. Great place for a date or for an evening in the park.

Is Chinese new year still available?

Luis F | Oct 4, 2018
Joshua Cohen | Oct 4, 2018

If you are asking about the chinese lantern festival that was at the park for several months then it is no longer available. They extended the festival for a bit but that extension ended weeks ago. I don't think it had to do with the Chinese New year though. And I'm not sure if your question is asking about the recent lantern festival or something else
