Went to the park to see a performance of The Last Five Years here, and it is just such a beautiful park. So well maintained and clean. I cant wait to come back for other events if and when they find other safe ways to have them like this outdoor play. Truly was a fantastic evening.

My son and I have so much fun here. He loves getting in the water and skipping rocks, we have endless hours of play fun. The trails are great and so is the little play area for children. It’s a great place to hang out.

If youre in search of mental peace, look no further. This place boasts beautiful trails and a number of quiet, scenic nooks along a stream. Skip some stones, listen to the birds and enjoy natures beauty!

Walking to the creek via the worn paths and skipping stones is always worth it. Definitely a dogs heaven.The lower end of the park gets swampy and deep in water, but youll always leave with fun memories. Recommend bringing a friend to joke around with when you get into swampy situations.

*update* saw bathrooms on bacon woods side. They were closed. Really? April and near 60° and bathrooms are closed. perhaps pissing in the parking lot would be better? Right next to the playground....*Nice place for a walk. Needs bathrooms or outhouse. Didnt know where they were or they were far from me. What if you really gotta go?
