Went to battle of the bands recently. Great little festival but made me question validity of many of veterans organizations that were present. I couldnt tell fake or real organizations my donations should go to. I chose the event sponsored Ann Marie as most credible for my dollars. Pretty sad about all the hands out looking for alms and most probably are fake organizations out for their creators.!

A nice little park to sit and relax, been said the lake is 60ft deep, and planes from Avon Park bombing range were sunk there after the war. My favorite site was the old church, photographic with good equipment. Just up the road from shuffle board courts.

The playground equipment has green mold. The town definitely needs to send staff to pressure wash. It is clean around, Great location and it is clean for most part. While i was there there was a man that was shaving his head while sitting down and looked like he was on drugs.

This is the park I played in as a child. My children played here, now my grandchild plays in when we visit. The city did a good job upgrading the equipment for the kids.

Review №32

The park is really nice. Although there are no formal coverings for the slides and such the trees give a nice shade. The lake is clean and inviting. There are picnic tables and a large field to throw a ball around.

Honestly, there is really nothing here. It has the potential to be a great spot during weekends if people did festivals, or live music... but, literally nothing special about this park. If youre looking for a nice place with entertainment, this place is not for you.
