Love this park! Love to walk my dog here. ..just need more people to pick up after their dogs. Plenty of dog stations with baggies and waste cans. Love to sit at the pond and watch the ducks, fish and turtles.

This is a really nice facility. There fields are divided into a baseball side and a softball side of the park. It was well maintained and clean. Plenty of parking. The coolest thing is theres a wiffle ball field on the baseball side of the park for non-participating kids to enjoy while not actually playing baseball.

Great walking paths. Wish they had more water fountains though but beautiful scenery. I also noticed they had cameras set up along the back of the park makes me feel better walking by myself

We only went for the playground and picnic table for a break in our drive from the beach. The playground was large and the canopy was excellent, covered the entire play structure! The tables and bathrooms were very clean. If there had been any natural shade, trees, it would have a 5 star review.

Stopped by this park to pass time before heading back to Bonifay. Well-maintained park with immaculate bathrooms. The only issue I had was no paper towels to dry your hands.

One of the best maintained parks Ive been in. Hard working crew. Baseball fields that many PGA championship courses would be jealous of. My hat tips to the management and staff. We walk there at least 3 times a week and see what is going on. Lots of police presence, too.

Dothans public parks are the best in Alabama. They are super clean, well maintained and the sports programs are excellent. Police provide summertime security also.

The baseball staff is phenomenal. They are the friendliest and sweetest workers in all of Dothan. I am very pleased with my wonderful experience at the park. However, there could be an extra set of restrooms on the walking trail behind the baseball complex.

The playground is ok till it starts to get hot, there is no place for parents to sit close to the playground to watch their kids. I think there is only 2-3 benches around and the big pavilion with nothing under it. I guess next time we will have to bring out our beach chairs to actually enjoy our time out there

The park is awesome. The fields are great! But the staff in the softball field complex concession is terrible, they are slow and have a hard time taking orders. The lines were long and they would just close a window. Hope it gets better before we come back for another tournament.

I love it because its safer, in my opinion, then Westgate. I just feel that since its smaller and the 2 childrens playgrounds are in plain sight you dont have much to worry about. I like the convenience of the sheltered area and the sidewalk trail.

New baseball and softball complex that opened late 2016 or early 2017. Softball and baseball is the focus at the parkThere is a playground. The restrooms are larger than most and clean. Maintenance and grounds crews are on-site for all tournaments. The facility is well run. The concessions stand has a lot of options and has good prices. There is plenty of paved parking at the park. The park creates a very enjoyable atmosphere for a baseball or softball tournament.

Its a REALLY nice and clean park. Its got two seperate play places that are clean and its got one bench for the parents to sit.The 2 problems I have with this park; it does not have swings. Big kid swings NOR infant/toddler swings. And it only has one bench.A nice addition would be a splash pad but its not necessary.It is EXTREMELY nice and clean though.
