Buttonwood Park

I went here for the groceries distribution last week. Nice park. The event was well organized and maintained. There was fresh yogurt and produce. It is rare to find something unexpired at the distributions but the yogurts and the chicken strips were all well within the expiration dates. Impressive.

I was in the area picking up my vegetable box from a local farm when I noticed this very nice park so I stopped to check it out. Buttonwood Park is a 17 acre sports park with four basketball courts, 3 multi purpose fields, restrooms, 2 sand volleyball courts, a playground, and a large covered pavilion with grill that can be rented for parties. On the day I came by the park was crowded with a football game with bounce houses and a Kona Ice truck and a birthday party under the pavilion. Even with all of the hustle and bustle it was peaceful in the wetlands area where there are picnic tables set up. I saw a great blue heron, a green heron, and some common moorhens swimming among the pickerelweed. With the cold front that rolled in it was a beautiful day to enjoy the park.

Awesome synthetic tort fields for practicing and playing soccer, football or your choice of sports...

It seemed like a nice park, although I will admit the truth, I was only walking by the park with my wife at 2AM after numerous cocktails while engaged in a conversation. A brief glance confirmed gates that prevent thru traffic after dark, a tennis court, water and grass. Oh yea, a sheriff’s deputy literally hidden w just the tiniest part of their car showing who was either A. Sleeping or B. Waiting on someone to cross that invisible line entering the park so they could pounce. That someone was almost me as halfway over the fence I spotted our friendly peace keeper itching to light me up. Nice park!!! Go visit!! If you want to reserve a pavilion be sure to read the 32 pages of rules and processes on the PBC website.

This is a great park for the area. All ages can enjoy the park. They have two pavillions, 3 fields, playground and sand for volleyball. My family rented their largest pavillion for a field day. Park Rangers came quickly to turn on the power.
