Brookdale Park

Love Brookdale Park. This place is just magical. It has so many tracks or loops to walk around, a dog park, a rose garden and a race track. Great place to workout or just chill and have a picnic.

The park’s numerous amenities and features cater to most visitors’s interests. Plentiful parking options across the park along the circle drive and in central parking near athletic field. My favorite feature of the park was well-cared compact rose garden. Paved and unpaved trails in wooded area of the park are nice for walking. You can get some mileage by walking the perimeter of the park. Not surprisingly, I have found out after the visit that its original design was done by Olmsted Brothers firm.

Pleasant place to walk. Plenty of athletic areas. Soccer, baseball, softball, and even an archery area. Restroom facilities. Very nice rose garden. Fair amount of parking in lots and on roadway. The thing I like the best is that most of the walkways are tree-lined and shady.

I grew up playing at this park. It'll always be nostalgic to me. Me and my parents went for the fireworks on July 3rd and they met up with a bunch of their friends, as pictured. My childhood friend come by to keep me company so we caught up and had a good time. I tried the Boomerang effect on Instagram out because I have soooo many years worth of firework pics and these are a new kind of look. All I gotta say is Foley Field finalé can not be beat.

Really is a great park. It has something for everyone. From the parents who wish to bring their kids to the exercise junkie who wants to work up sweat to the older couple who want a place to relax. There even is a doggie water fountain! There is plenty of room, so it never feels crowded no matter how many people are there. There's also a dog park with 2 sections. One for larger dogs and on for smaller dogs. These are pictures of Sunday and Monday on Memorial weekend.
