Vibe:
Stoner Park serves a wide variety of needs in the community and area. There are children and adults of all ages who use the various services and amenities offered. During the day in the summer, tons of kids are on the playground, skate park or participating in a summer camp. At night, many adults are playing tennis, basketball or using the field for a recreation sport. Due to the high volume of usage, the bathrooms and facilities are not cleaned frequently. You may want to use the restroom at home or a nearby eatery before heading over.
