I attend to family reunions here every year. It is a great park it is well maintained and very clean. The bathrooms are very clean and in order. The shelters have electric Outlets which are handy on hot days for plugging in a fan or charging up a phone. They have places for young kids to play swings for the older kids and ball fields for the whole family. Its a great Park

One of the best area parks, this one is especially glorious as it verdantly sprawls for what seems like an endless amount of wilderness space. Nice playgrounds and picnic space, right in the middle of the vast greenery, near a big pond, all within suburbia.

This park is a great place to walk on a paved trail, but off the beat and path. Picturest pond, and some challenging hills to enhance your walk workout.

This has been a favorite of mine for years. Me and my girlfriend love this place for our walks, it has paths that twist all through the park, several pavilions to host get togethers, and a beautiful lake to sit by.

Its much larger than I expected and there are lots of trees a nice change from the areas normal parks I saw a basket ball court and tennis courtsThe play place in the back of the park near the picnic area **is not designed or safe for small children*** the slide has a almost 3 foot drop from where the slide ends to the ground not much for a 8-12 year old nothing to a teenager not safe for a 2 year old and a 4 year old.

Great park, a little secluded, u might pass it up if u didnt know it was there. Has all the amenities to have a good time. Wide open areas to play sports, picnic areas and tables, walking paths, areas for kids. If youre a nature freak, u can explore the wooded areas and theres even a small stream to cool your feet in. Even the grounds people are friendly and talkative if u happen to see them. Overall, a nice little park, but not super busy, nestled in what is primarily considered city.

I like the pond, trails, and wildlife. It is very peaceful. I wish the restrooms had soap and paper towels/hand dryer, and playground slides that didnt end 2-3 feet from the ground.

A huge park thats nice and peaceful, it has a very long path for walks and jobs, youll be able to see wild rabbits in the grass, theres a patch of wildflowers and such for animals and insects, a bunch of little workouts and stretches along the paths too. Theres a nice lake that you can fish in which usually has a big white duck nearby. You can see the fish swimming around and the turtles popping their heads up too.You can find a tennis court in the very back.A baseball field on the road to the back.A basketball court in the very front.Back by the tennis courts on the other side near the lake there are 3 areas that you can have get togethers at which have grills and picnic style tables. One of them even has a fireplace.Theres a nice playground area there too!Theres something for the entire family there.

The park looks a lot better than it has in the past, which is saying something. There werent any needles or empty 40s in the play areas which is a massive improvement from years past. Still work to be done...

Review №56

Ive been coming here since I was a child and it saddens me to rate this park this low. The full basketball court and softball diamonds are in decent shape, the playgrounds are in moderate condition, the fishing pond has always been small and mainly for aesthetic purposes. What gets me is all of the trash and glass along the trails. Humans should treat nature so much better than that but the park should avidly keep up with its patrons negligence.

Good place to run.There are about 2 miles of trails plus the 1.5 mile access road, all blacktop with grass along most of the way to save your knees. Rolling hills most of the way, and good cover enough to run in 90 degree weather. Go to the end of the road by the fishing pond, and the trail loops around it. It ends about 2 miles later at the road,but the road itself isnt bad to run on.

I didnt realize how huge this place was. Its really nice, but the way the shelters are set up is so backwards. Also I didnt see any numbers outside of them so you know exactly where youre going. I almost ended up at someone elses family reunion.
