This place has recently become my go-to spot for walking my dogs daily. The grass is in good condition, so even after rain, my dogs' fur doesn't get very wet, making it a great place for post-walk exercise. There's a half-mile loop trail around the park that's perfect for running. It's a bit disappointing that there are no plastic bags for dog waste and no restrooms, but the overall environment is great, so I recommend it.

Playground Equipment: In good repair for the most part, and for an older structure. Seems like there used to be a crawl-through tube which has been removed an boarded over, leaving an odd step up to nothing (edit: tube is back in place). Kids loved the tube slide - not way-too-fast like some, though a bit small (diameter). Tire swing is pretty short - kids can stand on tire and touch the swivel/joint at the top - scary!

Good all around park. I especially like the bark trail for walking and I have met a number of friendly dogs here. Remember, keep em leashed, please. Nice amount of grass and trees. Spring, summer and fall are best seasons to plan an activity.

Great place to exercise or get outside with the kiddos. Summer time always brings movie nights outside, crafts, and "We are Bethel", which is a fair put on every summer for kids. Also 1/2mile bark trail as well as playground.

I love this park. Its been in my backyard for so long now. Weekends suck during late spring n the summer months as the morning soccer crowd is loud n they park in everyones driveways n its just rude. Park on the street if lot is full. The church is a better parking place to walk the park or see the soccer games. Not as cool at night time as it used to be.
