    Great walking path. Playground is in good condition. Lots of shade with trees. Slides do get hot in the TX heat so be careful when the temps go up! Duck pond is pretty and quiet surprisingly so close to the freeway!

    This is a great family park! They have a running trail with multiple paths, a pond with a fountain that you can also fish in, basketball courts, playground, gazebos, covered patios with tables and grills, and workout stations. There is also a community pool. The entire park is well maintained. You will frequently see city staff there taking care of the facilities. There are bathrooms by the playground that are some of the cleanest park bathrooms I’ve seen. There is a community garden there as well but I believe you have to be a member of the group that runs it to access it. I go running at this park frequently. Everyone is friendly and it’s very family focused. If you’re looking to bring your kids somewhere nice to play, this park is a great option.

    I love the area where I was able to see the animals I have not seen a goose up close so that was a change of scenery. Trail was decent it has exercise stations and it had a 1/4 Mile post so you should be able to keep up with how many miles you're running.

    This park is lively with events held for the community pretty frequently. The park is well maintained in upkeep, with a great walking path, picnic tables and a duck pond. It has a basketball court, along with a playground area and is landscaped with cedar trees providing shade to sitting areas. There’s such a great touch to this park as they have a community garden available for local folks to garden flowers, fruits and vegetables. Definitely a nice place to go most anytime of the year.

    Love this place!! It has everything! The only problem is that the water faucets are off where you drink, but the water bottle is on! 😅🤌🏽 it'd be perfect if both parts were on, and if they had doggy bags! ❤

    Love this park! I take the kids here a lot because the park is covered by a large canopy keeping the little ones from the sun. I am able to walk around the park area while they play. Also, my son (10y/o) loves basketball so this is perfect for kids of all ages!

    Love this pool, I love taking my kids here when we used to live closer, kids can swim the shaded kiddie area and still be close enough for me to see them from the canopy next to the pool. There’re alot of lounging chairs but I usually bring my own in case they’re all taken. You’re allowed to take food and drinks as well. Bathroom could use some cleaning, other than that, awesome place altogether. Life guards are very friendly and always on the lookout for the kiddos.

    It's one of my favorite places to visit. I love the ducks by the pond and love the Muscovy ducks. Beautiful scenery, fishing allowed, friendly people, and lots of places to sit.

    What a wonderful park! Great open spaces and lots of natural beauty. My daughter loves the ducks and walking the trails. There’s plenty of benches for picnics and the bathrooms are clean. I will definitely be visiting again!

    Love this park and super love that there's a sun shield up over the playground equipment!!!! The park is in good repair, the bathrooms are ok, but what can you expect at a city park for bathrooms? We love it here and visit often.

    Our while family enjoys this park. My daughter loves the playgrounds. I really like the garden. We haven't tried the pool/water park yet but it still looks like fun. We pick this park over the other parks in the area. Lots of shade near the playgrounds is a big plus, and restrooms that aren't literally at the other end of the parking lot (Looking at you, Lions Club Park) is also a game changer.

    It's an average park. But wexare in Killeen, TX. It's good for walking your dog. It's open and spacious. It has a skateboard area, a couple of pavilions, tennis and basketball courts, and an area with minor waterworks and a play area for children. It's clean! It would be nice for the city to update and make it more appealing for family outings.

    I mainly walk the perimeter of the park, it's an easy paved trail and the area and bathrooms are Clean. There are currently remodeling the children's play area. It's in the center of town but it's a nice little oasis.

    Great spot to get your steps in! Nice playground for kids. Many picnic areas available. Pool is also open for a refreshing swim. Ducks and geese are always by the pond.

  • 5/5 Brian S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great area to spend time with the kids. My kids enjoy this park over the Lions Club Park that is by our home. They even have a small pool area nearby, if they can only hire some staff we would be able to use it.

    Family friendly, spacious, greenery and walking trails. Tree dedications are well kept, with a neighborhood garden. Ducks and geese are abundant by the pond area. Swimming pool is not too crowded

  • 5/5 Madeline D. 1 year ago on Google
    Always love visiting! Lovely place to walk especially in the mornings, the playground and surrounding areas are clean and well maintained, and the geese don't come at you with murderous intent. Seriously though a very lovely place if you want to just spend some time walking around.

    This is a good family park. It has 2 play structures, little kids and bigger kids (12 and under according to the sign) and swings. There is a nice walking path around a pond. There are basketball courts and a covered picnic area.

    🐢🎣🦢🦆🐕‍🦺🏃🏼‍♀️Really nice walking trail with some shady areas on hot days. The playground equipment is all shaded, which is really nice for kids. Clean restrooms. I wish the water fountains were on. There's also a community pool here and a public fishing pond with many turtles and swans. My only complained is that there were police there when I arrived. Apparently there were car break-ins all around the area including the park. 🙄

    One of my absolute favorite parks to walk, the exercise stops along the route are a fun diversion! Great park with clean facilities and a wonderful pool!! The community garden is super cool too This is a great place to get closer to wildlife while not driving out of town

    Duck pond plus updated park was great for the kids There’s also a free library along the park by the garden

  • 5/5 Nikki W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to chill. Good play stuff if you have little humans. Well looked after. Clean and tidy. Good facilities. Walking track is smooth and well maintained. Good for wheels chairs and prams, kids bikes etc. Pond has ducks on it most of the time. There is a splash pool for summer months. Dogs allowed on a lead. Not massive, but still worth a visit to pass a few hours and get fresh air!

🫤 It started out as a nice park but does not get the care and attention the other city parks get. Missing shade over playground area..all of birch padding is gone, and seems like they never empty trash. I guess if it's not located in good part of town they ignore it.
