An ok spot. Has clean bathrooms, tennis courts baseball field. Play equipment and ground could use some updating. There always seems to be random cars with people just hanging out in so that part is a bit shady. Its connected to the greenway which I guess is nice. Its rarely populated so with the random visitors coming and just parking, maybe taking a lunch break, I dont feel as safe as I do at others.

This park is nice. It has two play structures, one for older kids and the other for younger kids. It has two bucket swings and two regular swings. The play area is surrounded by a wooden fence and there are benches on each side. The ground is partially padded and the rest is concrete. There is a bathroom and water fountain within walking distance. There are trails and tennis courts. There are lots of trees so it can be shaded depending on where the sun is. There’s a lot of parking surrounding the park also.

Small private park, very clean surroundings. The children rides and activities were in the center of everything so easily watched.I would go there again and tell a friend.

Seems like a lovely park. Theres a playground, lots of tennis courts, a baseball field, and some restrooms. The rest is just peaceful hiking trails. The main one is paved.

Lived in this neighborhood since I was 9 years old. Ive got to say that this park has gone downhill. the equipment is all messed up, and there was trash everywhere. this park used to be so clean and relaxing, now i just cant have the same experience.

Had my son 2nd Birthday Party here and it was great.. Kids enjoyed playing on the playground and picnic area was very spacious. Not many people know about it because its so far back off the main road so its very rare that you will see other kids playing there but great for a private occasion like kids birthday party.

There are baseball fields here. In the center area is a playground thats good for toddlers and young children, except its on a court surface, so its not soft and can get hot. There are swings too. Decent, if youre nearby, but there are better playgrounds within a 5 minute drive.

Great park in a quiet little neighborhood. My only complaint is, one of the ways to enter the playground, has been very beat up and hard to maneuver, especially with small kids.

Some of the equipment is showing its age, but the park is kept up fairly well and our family loves it. I particularly like how its set back in the woods just a bit, so you dont have lots of noise or traffic nearby.

Tennis courts and a fairly flat paved MUP make this a sweet little park. Theres a climber/slide for the little ones. Paved path is rough in spots due to tree roots below the pavement. A second steeper paved path leads from the park to Stadium Drive.

I like it there its quite most the time but not much to do or places to sit. It really needs trimming around the BBQ areas to clean up and also let in some light...ppl keep plugging the water drains on the trial with rocks and it backs up water on the trial yuk
