    Great little park, general parking for 6 and 1 handicapped spot. The jungle gym is under a shade. Lots of benches and seats, no water fountain or bathroom however. This a very small park and right by a large unfenced body of water.

    Small but yet a gem..This little beauty gives you life, you can see some what of a beautiful sunset, and you can take a walk to clear you heart, and mind all while taking in a wonderful site. There's a large body of water where you can take out a kayak, there are two pieces where you can stand and take in the view or fish. Either way it's a beauty of a gem. You can 🚶‍♂️ 🏃‍♂️ 🚲 or roller skates. Please stop by and see for yourself, I've added a beautiful sunset that I was to catch on one of my days of walking.

    So pretty at times. Sunset especially. Just wish folks wouldn't leave their trash on the ground.

    A park is a nice place for children during the day, and in the evening it's a great place for walking dogs, biking, or just generally strolling. There's a lot of inaccurate information posted regarding this park. The opening hours only pertain to the children's play area parking on the south side . The rest of the park is open 24 hours. A walking path round trip is 2.3 miles. There are pull off for car parking along the North side. The South side also has car parking near the children's area But it is subject to the hours posted for the children's area. There are 2 observation decks were you can look out on to the lake. Contrary to another review the tank is not to be played on. There are signs posted saying to keep off the tank. Security cameras line the south side of the park. It is a scenic walk and is particularly pretty at night. I've taken some photos of how it might look in the evening for you.

    It's alright, parking is limited, street is busy. We go to see what lizards we can catch. They have curly tail's, Iguanas, Basilisk's, water Dragons and water snakes, there is also a sign that says alligators, but we've never seen one. Here is a picture of some ducks and an Iguana missing an arm.

  • 5/5 Chris G. 11 months ago on Google
    This is a really nice little neighborhood park where you can walk your dog by the lakeshore. Be aware that there is no bathroom here.

  • 4/5 Maurichael R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a really nice park to go and relax. There is a nice playground for the kids. A historical war tank dedicated to the purple hearts veterans who fought the old war. The scenery is breaking. I gave it a 4 because they aren't too many parking spaces. Other than that, it is a beautiful park to take the family and go relax for a couple of hours.

    It's a 'strip' park... It's a park that is just a sliver of a strip of land with the road on one side and a lake on the other. There is a playground with a kids' play structure inside a fence at the parking lot... There are two wooden boardwalks whete you can fish or stand and look at the wayer or road traffic, but no shade structure on either boardwalk.
