    This park didn’t look too nice when first getting here, but had some great scenery when walking around. Google directed me to the lower parking lot (by the fields). There’s a nice, steep, walk up to the playground, maybe a 1/5 mile or so. Playground is more for younger kids. Lots of spaces to sit around the park. Path from the playground to fields is split for walkers and bikers/skaters. The water can be reached by the gazebo next to the skate rink.

    The playarea and skate park were really nice for the kids. If you walk a little farther and venture through the trails, you'll find the streams. They were the highlight of the park for us.

    Nice and quiet neighborhood park. I see plenty of people walking their dogs. Sometimes, wildlife sneaks through the field at dusk and dawn.

    A very pleasant community park. Very peaceful, at least in autumn during the week. There's a picnic area and other seating along the park. Good walk around the area, including the brook, and upper playground that's still in a wooded area. Currently, the bathrooms are locked, and judging by the cobwebs, they have been for many months.

    Peaceful bi-level neighborhood park. Top level has playground and picnic area (one covered). Short paved trail winds downhill. Bottom level has athletic field, stream with short trail, and roller skating rink. Restrooms seem to be locked most times. It's a nice reuse of old quarry space.

    It is great to have a park in a neighborhood. This park, though a rustic setting, is a nice place to walk the dog or practice a sport. The enclosed sport area was recently renovated. There is an upper and lower part of the park connected by a walkway.

    Beautiful Sunny winter day.....love my trees and meet folks on the way enjoying the moments too! More to explore later

    Great place to walk my dog. There are doggie bags attached to the bleachers in case you forget some yourself to clean up after your dog, there's a enclosed hockey area that is great for closing the doors and playing fetch with your dog. There's also a small sidewalk path that leads to a playground- the left and right side are divided by a fence which is nice so there's no one taking up the whole trail/getting in your personal space.

    Nice park. The playground needs to be updated but, I like the walking trail and the sounds of the creek. The tall trees provides great shade from the sun. My son loves the skate park and the open field.

  • 5/5 BaltiMurals 7 years ago on Google
    Good field, outdoor hockey rink, stream, woods, playground, peaceful, relaxing, and fun.

  • 5/5 Eric S. 7 years ago on Google
    The stream is wonderful to explore and look for small wildlife. Curving paved hill is fun for skating or roller blades.

  • 4/5 Gloria S. 8 years ago on Google
    There isn't much but it's a nice place to go for a run that isn't heavily populated.

  • 5/5 Jake B. 7 years ago on Google
    Great fun and safe little park. A nice stream the throw rocks into hidden next to the lacrosse and hockey courts. Nice playground a short hike up the jogging path. Another local favorite.

  • 5/5 Horuss Z. 7 years ago on Google
    Open, Free, Fun. I go there when all else is cluttered to clear my mind.

  • 4/5 Jake G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great park in a quiet neighborhood. There is no enclosure around the playground and a steep hill right next to it so vigilance is a must. Uneven mulch instead of soft, rubber ground cover. Walking down the hill leads to a very large and open field.

  • 5/5 Andy S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice park hockey goals need to be upgraded thou

  • 5/5 Anne S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Bridget B. 1 year ago on Google
    We are new to the neighborhood and found the park from our wonderful neighbors and the folks on the street.. very nice and large park but the restroom should be open for the little ones and the trash cans could use some attention also…. Thank you for the lovely welcome to your area

  • 4/5 mary B. 10 months ago on Google
    Walked down to the park today with my sister who was visiting from Richmond! Enjoyed being there and we just assumed the bathrooms would be open, but that was a mistake! Had to have my husband drive down and pick us up! Curious as to what is the purpose of having facilities you can't use?

  • 5/5 Katie L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a small neighborhood park, not a huge park for hiking, etc. There's a small playground I take my toddler nieces to at the top of the hill, and a court plus a couple rec league style playing fields at the bottom. There is a stream but I haven't explored it much. Overall I do enjoy this park alot. There are many neighborhoods within walking distance and it has a little something for everyone.

    Play ground is not all that. Very small. Good for little ones not for a 6yr who like variety. Small park. Small hiking rail. A little stream nothing fascinating.
