It’s a smaller park but has lots to offer! The walking trail around the lake is perfect, and it’s nice that the dog park separates small dogs from big dogs. Plenty of trash cans along the way and a couple small picnic areas. There are also a couple benches around the lake and walking paths that are perfectly placed to sit and be with nature.

Nice area for dogs and owners. There is water available, some well used toys and places to dig. People are generally concerned about there dog and maintenance of the property.

I spent time both in the rec center and on the grounds.They have a nice scenic walk around a pond (that had a live wild alligator when I was there) with several benches. There's a playground that is great for kids that's well-maintained. There's a large dog park. There are 2 gyms, a weight room, and various meeting rooms. On a nice weekend day, parking can be a challenge. Next door to a Junior High School.

I would give it five stars if Entitled school parents/grandparents would stop illegally parking in handicapped spaces in front of rec center. It is an everyday occurrence on school days. Shame on them. Fines need to be imposed.
