Park is large and kept nice by lawncare and trash is always picked up. The ponies open to fish 24/7 .( No permit is required). I enjoy taking my dogs here I can let them actually go and fetch the ball which definitely is awesome! ( only when the park is less crowded and always still watch for anyone that comes close to make sure they don't fear the dogs)

Cute little park has a nice little playground for children, as well as a pond for fishing. Multiple parking lots to park close to where you will be in the park. They have a couple portable bathrooms set up around the park as well. I’ve seen someone walking a pet fox here

Super nice park. Many beautiful old trees. Has ball diamond, basketball court, multiple tennis courts with night lights. 6 tennis practice stalls with murals on the outside. There are two sets of playgrounds and many swings. Two outside shelterhouses and another one that is very large and enclosed. There is a beautiful grove of older trees and a pond.

The park is very spacious and has lots of picnic tables. The park has squirrels, geese and other birds at any given time. It's nice to be able to teach the children what other types of birds and animals are by showing them the live version instead of in a book or on the computer screen.

The park itself was amazing. It’s set in the middle of a neighborhood so it’s a safe space and they have multiple buildings.. unfortunately the shelter house was not where the GPS directed me and it was quite a long ways to walk across the park! I appreciate it getting my steps in, but the park itself is amazing. Just better directions is my only reason for not giving it a complete five stars.
