Great little place to release stress take a walk, bike ride or just admire nature.

I just discovered this little spot that’s well hidden next to a residential area. It gives trail/hiking vibes with a lot of plant and wild life. There’s a nice little bridge that cuts part of the trail . It’s very nice and peaceful. The only downside is that it seems to be run down a lot with trash in the ponds and scattered outside of the bridge area as if people hangout in those area. I do get a sense that there’s sketchy people here which makes it seem somewhat unsafe. If it were not for that it would be perfect. I still recommend it, perfect for a nice little jog !

The park was nice. The grounds keeps were polite and one was informative about a hawk I saw there! There are a lot of rabbits running around, too! People were walking their dogs and people with their kids at the playground; it was lively, but peaceful as well. They have tennis courts, roller hockey rinks, and a basketball court.

👍 wonderful pickleball courts 8 total No tennis courts Don't know how bright it is at night Light switches available. Wonderful nets and court seats for pickleball Park looks amazing with many things looking brand new and modified. Make sure to check it out when the sun is still out. I've heard subjective comments about being weary of car theft when it gets darker. Hours: dawn until dusk Visit around 2 pm no one is playing midweek in the middle of the day.
