Beautiful park, well kept, incredible tile work inlay along the stone wall. It has a stone pathway. Lots of benches to sit in the shady spots. Giant, old oaks and tiny new trees that have been planted as well. There's a secret door, but it's locked up tight, so no gnomes were seen yesterday. So many places I've driven past and never paid any attention to and I'm glad I got a chance to visit this park. This park is not ♿️ accessible, but it you keep on the sidewalk you can see down into the park.

This place was poppin my goodness I can't wait to come back! Talk about a good time! No cover charge and they was serving free drinks all night long! Do yourself a favor and get a couple of beans before you go and you will be set for sure!

Pleasant park to stop and chill for a bit but nothing other than that. Mainly used as a walking trail and for a place for dogs to play.

Nice park with new trees planted including the long leaf pine. However the sidewalks are broken up to the point that it's hard to walk especially for the elderly.
