The field is located in the center of the airport traffic and near Route 1A and is enclosed by a chain linked fence. The fence is partially damaged (vandalized). The fields have stadium lights for evening events. There is a sign posted on the fence that reads, "No Playing on Field without Permit". There is a lot of trash and some graffiti on the fencing and near the passive sitting area. The play structure is older (wooden and metal) which is more dangerous for children. Cars drive through the park on the sidewalk to get to the turf soccer field, but there is a sign posted that says cars are not allowed to drive through the park gate.
