Off -65 in Roseville take the Pleasant Grove exit. Turn west. Turn right on Hallissy Dr. the park will be on the left.
This park has many baseball fields. It has a cute playground with swings and slides. The only downfall is there is no parking near the playground area. You have to park at the school adjacent to the baseball fields and walk a few hundred feet with your toddlers and kids in tow to enjoy the playground area.
