Nice little park somewhat off the beaten path. Beautiful grove of trees, firepit, picnic area, and creek access with a nice creek area. Downside is not very mobility challenged accessible as you have to park in gravel, the. Walk like 400 yards through gravel, then through grass.

Nice dog park, gates & equipment are in good condition. Water station is convenient. A bit hard to find, could use one more sign to the parking lot! Have some fun obstacles in the large dog section . They have nice picnic tables throughout the park. It does have a bathroom, which was fairly clean, but it did not have a sink .
