The park is nice, quiet and clean. Its well maintained and has ample parking for vehicles with trailers as well as a separate parking space for cars and trucks without trailers. There are dedicated fishing locations with benches/tables and rod holders. There are grills, pagodas, and a fenced in kids play area. Many people walk their dogs as well. The popularity of this place has caused a scarcity in fish. You still catch fish, but it is growing more difficult.

Sometimes unorganized but otherwise a great program for summer city leagues. Hoyt park has been beautifully maintained by this organization and enjoying baseball games there is fun and family friendly.

Nice quiet little community park. The landscaping was very nice and well kept. There is a boat ramp at the end of the park and it looks like the park rents out canoes for those that want to go out paddling or fishing for the day. The big plus for us was the hockey rink for roller hockey!!! They have two nets out there and marked lines for weekend pickup games. Every community should have one of these!!!
