Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
I really enjoyed this marketplace better than I did the Old Town market. It had a variety of vendors along with the stores that are in that area. There was a lot of seating and shade and more of a laid-back area where you could chill and just take in everything.
Read more about The Park at PearlNice play equipment, flooring needs updating. A nice place for your child to play on equipment or natural logs. There are port a potties here, but bring hand sanitizer as there are no sinks or hand washing stations. Great walking paths. No dogs allowed in park, but okay okay on walking paths. There's also a dog park across the small road.
