B.F. Phillips Community Park

Clean lighted park with baseball ground, soccer ground and with ample parking. The grass is soft with the fields are ready to get booked online earlier. Lack of seating area for viewers but have restroom. Children’s play area is clean and well maintained. There’s a small trail for jogging.

We had a wonderful time at this park watching the total solar eclipse. The event was surreal. The sun was suddenly black. I imagine in the underworld, this is what the sun looked like. The air was dark and cold. Venus could be seen piercing through a dark black blue sky like a small pinhole. Only light from the distant 360 degree horizon could escape the eclipse. Mid rises in the distance had lights on like it was late in the evening. A distant reminder that there was still civilization and we were not alone. The park furnished a great open space to experience this with plenty of space away from any other group of people. And the open space provided plenty of recreation for the kids as they would be restless waiting for the eclipse. There was still plenty of shade as we waited when the sun was still at full bloom. I highly recommend this park to view the next total solar eclipse in 2317 AD. I'm sorry my picture doesn't do the eclipse justice. Maybe camera phones will be better in 300 years.

Great space. Lots of sports fields, play areas for kids, clean bathrooms and nice walking track.

It is a great location. Fields are well kept and shade on a hot day of baseball.

1st average note: we are softball/baseball people, my time at facility is around the fields. Decent park, good shade & stadium style seating. Conssession is weak, make sure to bring your own food. Restrooms are decent, but could use more cleaning (like more often, at least a twice a day would be recommended).
