Great place for the families with kids to spend time. Lots of playing and activity area for small kids. The trail area also gives a soothing breeze of air that you would love having a walk and run around. Very happening, love this park.
Read more about Windhaven Meadows ParkGreat place for dogs, plenty of room for dogs to run. Probably should be pressure washed every once in a while. The smell of dog urine is strong at the gates. Plenty of poop bag stations and several water faucets, however, only 1 of them works. Still a great place for dogs and owners to play and relax.
