    My children enjoyed this park even though it was dark by the time we got there. Big park with lots of parking available. Definitely worth checking out.

    The park is so nice and quiet but the walking path is so narrow, it’s awkward. Bathrooms were clean, park was clean, the playground looked great. Pickleball, tennis, soccer areas that were fenced in along with a basketball court. I’ll definitely be back

    Nice and quiet sidewalk path, just a mile long. Perfect for doing laps on a bike, walking, or running. Not too busy at all.

    This was a great place!! We love coming to this local park! The swings and paved path are wonderful. If you want to have a picnic there are plenty of picnic tables.

    Love this park!! Beautiful park to say the least! The kids had a great time! Planning to start taking my kiddos here more often! We enjoyed the park and the walking trail! This park also has basketball courts & tennis! The basketball courts are temporarily off limits but overall its a great park! So glad we found it! Our new favorite spot!! :)

    This is a close by park from our home and we like how the playground is set up for the kiddos. I do wish there were benches/tables spread out along the playground for the grown ups to have better eyes on their kiddos. Most of the time the grown ups resort in sitting in their car watching from the parking lot. The walking loop is nice with small elevation changes. There are some trees perfect for hammocks. I do wish the bathrooms were better here. And I think a small disc golf course could be set up here in the future!

    Great park. A few baseball fields, a nice playground, a basketball court, a walking track, some gazebos, and plenty of space to hang out.

    2 laps on the path is 1 mile. The path itself is a decent size. So if running be weary and alarm the walkers. The path itself is not a straight shot. It curves, good nature. Playground is interactive, and the swingsets are good for all ages. If you have a child you may need to help them so they can have joy! I see many parties and families there with a great amount of parking. Tennis courts are always active, and many people still are active in the basketball court. Overall the safety in it is amazing, Police patrol at night most times so thank then for their service and walk safe if late worker or parent needing some time. God bless you all and may the gods guide you to success and happiness.

    This park is amazing. My children have FB practice here. It's one of the cleanest and we'll preserved park. The tennis court is up to date and nothing is broken down. The people that come to this park really care about it and take very good care of it. There's no litter on the ground, so this allows for an even better experience. The playground is wonderful for your children and there's a nice walkway for you and or your pets. There are plenty of trees, so enjoy the evening or morning breeze. It's also a great place to host a BBQ or Bday party as they have a nice picnic area.

    I only use the park for its walking path. The path is listed as being 1/2 mile. About half of the path is shaded by large trees which is nice on hot sunny days. The path does have a couple areas that need work due to the concrete deteriorating but they did replace the worst spot with gravel. There are plenty of people walking the path in both directions and most are civil about not hogging the walkway. All the dog owners have been very respectful and keep their pets from bothering anyone.

    Nice relatively small, low traffic park area. A good playground for kids and a walking path.

  • 5/5 Joyce S. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice clean shady park. Baseball fields, basketball court, walking track, picnic shelter with lots of tables. A grill by the shelter, as well as a nice play area for the little kids by the shelter. Plenty of parking.

    Enjoy this park! One of my favorite parks. The new walking path makes the walking smooth and without unevenness. A safe park and I will return again.

    I enjoyed a very relaxing walk around the trail. The trees and landscaping are well kept. I saw folks playing on the pickle ball court and others shooting hoops. It was a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend anyone to come out with kids, pets etc., and enjoy the outdoors at this location any day of the week!

    Love the walking track. Very dog friendly and clean

  • 5/5 Jon B. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful grounds with aesthetic curving trails lined with many trees and the occasional resting bench. Nestled within a neighborhood. Nice parking areas at main entrance and road-side. Main entrance, to the right: A well maintained playground area next to a covered pavillion with nice seating and grills. Trails start from there. Along the way you'll see tennis courts, a pickle ball court and basketball court. Main entrance to the left: Well maintained baseball diamonds, dug outs, snack bar, scoreboard, etc. Also a soccer field and such, too. It's always a delight when we come here for a walk -- a peaceful and quite invigorating experience among the sights and sounds!
