We came for a rocket launch with Central Illinois Aerospace. Park was easy to navigate and very clean. We were by the soccer fields so I can only attest to the conditions there, but it was very nice.

Great place to stretch your legs, run or jog, bring out your bikes, or throw around the ball or frizbee with the dogs! Take in the freshair, beautiful green grass, & even some of the hidden gems designed to wow your imagination. Ive seen a few golfers out here too, and a couple having wedding pictures taken. Make sure to use the restroom ahead of time-came here once with the dogs and the bathrooms were locked! (Yikes)

Huge open grassy park full of soccer fields. There are not many trees around so it can get really windy, and the fields don’t seem to drain too well.

Great for park activities you need to drive to. Uncomfortable for anyone trying to bike or skate or scoot through the park and enjoy the park. Narrow through road. Loads of car parking. Comical trails that go to one way and car roads that go to everywhere is such a detractor to recreation.

A great sports park. Large open areas for soccer, multiple softball fields, and a disc golf course. A wonderful park for watching or participating in sports. Located next to Parkland Community college so parking is never an issue. A nice walking path connects this park to another park and onto Kaufman Lake. Pokemon Go players will also find 6+ gyms and many pokestops in and around the park. A nice place to spend a couple hours walking.

Well maintained park that hosts a slew of extra curricular activities. The softball diamonds are in great shape and there are many leagues to join.

Big multiple use park. Mostly Softball/ Baseball fields and soccer fields, along with a large open area. I attended a cross country meet and bard on the course layout was able to see my runner 5 times on the course, which I really love.

Took the grandbaby for a stroll. Not really a park, just a path with soccer fields, but I was able to let her walk and she enjoyed it, so our stroll was a win-win.

Great to playing some softball on Mondays! Fields are in really good condition and the lighting is great.

An above average disc golf park. For the area, really good. But still make the trip to Peorias Bradley Park if you want a really great course. Dodds is no Bradley, but its better than average.

If you are looking for Frisbee golf, this is not a beginner course. There are cattails and shallow water that players are expected to throw over and around. I have lost several frisbees in the water and will have to wait till winter to get them out. If you skip the holes with cattails you will enjoy it

Review №29

The sports fields are extremely well kept. They have soccer, baseball, and softball. Maybe others as well. The parking is lacking and there are almost no trees for shade. The public restroom and concessions building are kept very clean. Proximity to Parkland College is also a bonus.

Decent fields. Poorly run CPD mens league. Odd that they havent done more to to expand the mens room for kids from out of town to change. Many kids travel teams make the parking a suck fest as well.
