Showing the actual texture of owner feedback makes the park page much more useful than a bare directory card.
I enjoy this beautiful park when ever I am in the area. Big beautiful trees fill so many areas providing lots of shade. Good place to take kids they have nice playgrounds. The trail is an option if you like to go for walks. March 2025 update since I reviewed two years ago. I was not aware then this was a Dog friendly park. Excited now that I have a pup I can bring her and invite friends with dogs.
We had the best time at this Park on Father's Day ❤️💐❤️
Really nice walking area! The walking area has hills for those who want an incline and decline. The park has a nice double slide with climbing ladders and rock wall. It usually clean of trash, maybe need some more trash cans. Has a sitting area open in the sun and under a pavilion shelter. Has a lots of running around space and 2 baseball diamonds. I wish it had a small kids playground for toddlers to play and that the rec center was open more often.
Cool little disc golf course. Three baskets but nicely played. There are horseshoe pits and a nice play place for the kids. Not sure what the rec center offers as I haven’t been in it since childhood.
I go to this park every morning to walk 5 times around. It's three miles. I love the scenery and the people are so friendly.
