This is a pretty large, nice park. I had a chance to explore only a corner of it. There is a dog park at the leftmost end of the park, with parking right next to it. One end of the catch and release fishing pond is pretty close to the dog park and the parking. At the other end of the elongated pond is a pavilion with picnic tables, a playground, and the restrooms. There are basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball and softball fields, and trails all around. The township says the park is 59 acres, so there is a lot to enjoy.

Lots of parking, softball and soccer fields that I saw. The softball diamonds have netting up in front of visitors as well as above them.

Enjoyed a quick walk around the pond. Quiet, clean, and easy to navigate paths. Porta potty was open as the main bathrooms were closed for the season. Minus one star for lack of light and limited trash bins.
