Very nice and clean park with lots of parking! I was very impressed with the nice sports fields and loved the many sidewalks for walking. Very open and spacious. There is a pretty lake with a bird house and beautiful view of the sunset. If you are looking for a nice park to walk and enjoy the fresh air, I highly recommend!

On our way to PCB from Atlanta, we stopped at this park so our little boys can play for a little while. We stayed for over an hour. The playground is so clean and we loved that it had two separate ones for different age groups. Also those bathrooms!! Both my husband and I said we've never seen a public bathroom so we'll maintained. Definitely stopping by again on our way back home.

Great place for long walks and jogging if you don't mind the lack of shade trees or lush shrubbery and things like trellises with climbing vines or various flowers (though the park is surrounded by woods, & does have some smallish trees in its large parking lots). I liked it quite a bit, but I tend toward more shady, large tree populated parks. The barren nature of this one probably won't bother those who need open running spaces, though, and I can understand that. Furthermore, to have s park -- any park -- is a blessing and much appreciated!!
