I thoroughly enjoy taking my daughter to this park. The playground is definitely well maintained, it looks like new mulch has been laid down not too long ago and there's a new addition to the playground. As a parent, I like the proximity of the bathrooms to the playground. There's also a pavilion a stone's throw away as well where you can eat if you would like as well. There's a lot more to do at this park as well that I haven't explored. For a local park, I'd say this is a very nice one and would recommend it to my neighbors.

As a mom of a very active 2.5-year-old, Goyne Park is one of our go-to spots! It has multiple playgrounds, which keeps things fresh and exciting for little ones. My toddler absolutely loves it and always has the best time running around, climbing, and exploring. We hosted our family Easter egg hunt here this year, and it was perfect—plenty of space! We are also here frequently for our baseball games. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the playground is pretty close to the road, and there’s no real fence to keep adventurous kiddos from wandering. A little barrier would go a long way in making it feel safer, especially for younger children. Still, it’s a favorite of ours, and we’ll definitely keep coming back!

Great dog park. Large park, even has recycling containers for the community. Lots of people go there to walk and exercise. The dog park is very clean and offers toys and water.

The dog park is great! It hasn't been open for long (right now only two areas/yards are open) and I can't wait to see what else gets added to it. There are water bowls available for you to use but no source of water to fill them so don't forget to bring your own water. The first yard is a nice size and has a bench for sitting. The second yard (phase 2 Large Dog Area) is huge but sadly have no benches for sitting. All yards are in shade and have mulch as ground cover. Beware of the tree in the Large Dog Yard that has what I think is Poison Ivy. Im not 100% sure it is Poison Ivy so I will post a picture for people to see and decide for themselves. Because the park is a public area and people don't always follow the rules I walk the yard to inspect for anything that can be harmful to my dog (for example: food, cigarette butts) before I let him off his leash. It's also a good idea to check around the fence to make sure no holes were dug but never filled by other visitors.

Playground Equipment are in need of replacement. Areas of sharp edges that could cut children. Bathrooms in need of repairs.
