    My daughter love this place to play and I love taking her there as long as she wants to go we are going. #Moments are the best. #Nothing like watching the #enjoyment on their faces. #qualitytime #priceless 🙂🙂🙂 BTW there's also a tennis court and a walking track so for all the mile walkers you can walk while your children play. BBQ areas and shade too.

    My children and I love this park.Its always clean, super safe and well lit!(Because sometimes little people aren't ready to go home just yet🤗🤗) The equipment is updated.. You could walk around the track ,play tennis , have a picnic. It's overall a great park that I would recommend!😍😍😍

    Clean. And lots of space. Two areas for swings. Two areas with slides and climbing equipment. Lots of benches on the perimeter for parents. Lots of open area for kites or to throw the football. There are a few covered pavilions for a family picnic. Tennis courts and ample parking. We will come here again!

    I've been looking for safe trails and parks to run in close by and saw that this park was fairly close to where I live.When I first got there, I was one of two people in the park and I was a little nervous until I saw a police car sitting in the lot. That made me feel more at ease and then as time passed, more people began to show up but not too many that the park felt crowded. For those looking to run, the path is only .5 miles, but it's pretty nice. Overall, I had an enjoyable experience and I'll definitely be back again.

    I attended a birthday party on Sunday October 8, 2023. It is a beautiful park. I was very disappointed to find the bathroom locked! My outing was cut short due to this inconvenience.

    This park could be perfect if people wouldn't come just to hang out and smoke weed. It's very uncomfortable and I see it often. Also I wish the would mark the walking trail correctly. I do appreciate the fact that they have added the splash pad for the kids and cut down trees so the trail can be visible for safety measures.

    I am on Ebony Flame Majorette dance team at Benjamin Banneker H. School and I have been performing here for years and I can say that this is a great park to have a picnic, family get together, or even just to come to and have your kids play for fun.

    The park was clean and the kids play area had a variety of activities for them to do. You can walk, sit, relax and watch your children play on the swing or slides. The area is quite , there were also cover picnic areas with table and a small grill to barbecue.

    Plenty of quality family time spent here. The park is clean, the multiple picnic areas are well maintained. It’s dog friendly & there’s an exercise area, walking trail and a community garden near by. Water park coming in fall 2022!!!

    Although the park was very populated, it was clean. The visitors were orderly. The walking trail was very peaceful which made my steps a breeze. The Waterfall is under construction and I am anxiously awaiting it. I will be returning.

  • 5/5 Ethan O. 3 years ago on Google
    I'll be honest, I just came to go plane spotting, but I hung out around the park for probably a good 2 or so hours, and it seems like a very clean, fun place for kids. There's also a lot of open space to walk or run around. The close proximity to the airport also could provide entertainment even for kids like me.

  • 5/5 Ron H. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place for the kids and family to hangout for a day of fun

  • 3/5 Juenes C. 1 year ago on Google
    So it's getting better. The most beautiful part of this park lies behind the baseball field and the recreation building. It's majestic back there. They are doing a bunch of construction in the front by the playground. Hopefully they put new playground equipment replacing the old beat up swings etc....if you enjoy nature or want to workout there is a track perfect for such a thing. It's getting there and plenty to be enjoyed despite the shortcomings

  • 5/5 Black Tie A. 1 year ago on Google
    This park was nice but needs some cleaning services. The pavillion was rent but was not clean at all with trash everywhere.

    4.3🌟 My younger children LOVE this park! It's good sized with lots of tables, grills, 2 play areas, a tennis court and walking trail that has some fitness equipment. There's also a splash pad in the works, an open field area, and bins for recycling. I definitely think this park is worth a visit! It can get pretty packed on weekends, but that's most parks.

  • 5/5 Elgin c. 9 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Bettina B. 7 months ago on Google

  • 3/5 The H. 4 years ago on Google
    3/28/20 Visit this park sometimes when I don't feel like driving out the area & 2 meet with friends & Fam. Cool nice quiet park with civilized people & kids. I think the playground needs remulching freshen up the grass & add 2 the grass closet 2 the playground & tennis court because it's a lot of rocks & uneven pavement which attracts kids sometimes 2 throw rocks. I think they need 2 add a covered basketball court which would really set the park up nice since they have a lot of extra space!

  • 4/5 It's M. 4 years ago on Google
    This park is really, really nice. The town Official, Roderick Gay has added a soccer field with goals, an outside work out apparatus for the health conscience and hosts several festival's per year here. The only downside is the pathway bricks that have come up and are being played with by the kids--which is dangerous. Another downside is that on one of playgrounds there, part of the metal pole on the stairwell is broken exposing a sharp edge which is dangerous for kids. Other great things about this park are a men and women's restroom, 2 playground areas, plenty of places to grill and have gatherings, a tennis court and a track that goes the length of the park all around. And if you want to only walk around the top portion of the park, there's a path to do that. The only other thin I wish is that there was shade over the playground benches for parents watching their kids play.

  • 5/5 Encyclopedia B. 3 years ago on Google
    Played tennis at the park but they have a trail and they have their own mini-workout equipment. In a nice quiet part of town where the airplanes fly over. It's nice
