We visited this park to play disc golf. It was an interesting course with some arboreal challenges. The map from the rec center was not accurate. We had to straight up skip hole 5, because we could not find the tee. Oh well. Still great fun. Highly enjoyable.

My son loves the park . There are so many activities to chose from. Something for everyone there . The new skate board park is better and my son loves to watch everyone who uses it . Need more bathrooms around the skateboard and playground area for people who are not members to use the facilities inside. My son loves this playground and the many options he has to play on .

I loved this place as I raised two kids and the park was their sanctuary. But it has changed over the last few months. The staff looks to hard for those they need not worry about. I know what you all do.....less not forget

I LOVE this park! So many paved trails, park shelters, dog areas and great clean bathrooms. Their skate park is beautiful and for all levels of skills on bikes and boards. My favorite is to jog the trails during evening baseball and soccer games. Very family and dog friendly!

The best area disc golf course if you are a beginner, has alot of trees to add difficulty but little brush and no water. If your a novice its for you. I like to practice here for the more challenging courses like Lakeview and maximo

This is a really nice facility and I am so glad that its available to the public. The aquatic center is really nice, clean. Theres a skate park for kids and they normally offer a lot of activities. It will be even better when COVID-19 is not a big threat and it can be used to its fullest potential.

We went to the park on the left next to the office. It was nice. It had fake grass and looks nicer than the rest of the parks in there. I have 3 request to make it the 5 star rating. They have a fence in gate when you come in that nice, but what about the gap were the white fence is? I had to chase my 2 old before he ran out to the street and having more kids that was fun. the rest of its fence then why is there a small gap to the far left ? Its a good size field play kickball or something , but theres that big gap openIt could also use a little bit of pressure cleaning with the play ground area and where you sit. There are some gaps in the seats area were someone could get hurt with thick metal tht bent. Even thou it bent downwards we know as parents kids love to crawl and go under stuff and Bam their head could be slice open and a nice law suit. Other than that they could use a net for the top higher area because little kids could fall off two spots were it just drops. Its scary and not good for anyone under the age 6 years I would say but yet the got baby stuff their. Its the nicer park out all of them in the whole GTBRAY. I wish they could fix that one up some. Thank you from concerning parent

We took my grandson who is 7 to the skate park. What a great experience! A lot of older boys(late teen ages)were also skateboarding along with several younger kids. So very refreshing to see the older boys giving the younger ones tips on skateboarding! They spent several minutes teaching the younger ones..my grandson was so excited for the help!!All the kids were respectful of each other and took turns on the ramps.So..thank you to those older boys for helping the younger ones, I truly enjoyed watching the interaction!!

GREAT place to spend time with friends and family. This park has many playground options as well as pavilions you can rent. If you are local and have youngsters, G.t. Bray park has amazing organized sports including: basketball, soccer, baseball,tennis, and football. The weight room is very clean and has a good assortment of machines. The pool is a refreshing place to hang out- especially in the summer heat. Marcus Francis does a great job, if you have any questions he can help send you into the direction you are looking for. There is also a new and improved skate park that has been redone.The general perimeter of the park also serves as a safe nature walk area. Very RELAXING.

Skate park, baseball field, soccer field, aquatic center with pools (fees apply), about 3 differently sized children’s playground, trails for walking, and biking. There are frisbee towers throughout the park, and trash cans throughout. Nice park to check out instead of being stuck inside. Most areas are tree covered with pavilions through the park- good for parties!

We are from another state and were told about this park for our children. When we arrived, we found a clean, well maintained area with play equipment age appropriate for our children, aged 6, 4, and 6 months. The area was free of trash, fleas, ants and other icky stuff. Our little ones spend several hours playing safely and happily. We will return to this park the next time we are in your city.

Disc golf course was awesome. Has a lot of trees but a lower shelf so youre worried about shooting too high by accident. Trees raise the difficulty, but it was great. First and back 9 are looped (1,9,10, & 18 are really close to each other) so you can easily do just 9 baskets and end up back at your start. Baskets were clean.

A lovely walk all through the park, across the bridge over to the dog park and back. Just a nice park whether youre hanging out alone or with friends, playing a sport, trying frisbee golf on their course, playing horseshoes, having a bar-be-que or walking with your furry friend. So many afternoons spent here winding down from a busy day. Peaceful. Love it here.

Review №58

I give 5stars for the time Ive spent here, over 15yrs. Changed, renovated and genuinely messed around by mislead locals. Still this park offers solitude and relaxation while being maintained by MC. Take a walk, bring your dogs to their own park or play a round of disk golf (like i did) and you are sure to get a solid dose of outdoors!
