Disc golf is fun here except for the fact that you have to wait for people using the park for walking and jogging, etc.But overall, its a safe and clean place to visit. One mile concrete exercise path, six lighted tennis courts, a soccer field, 18 -hole disc golf course, a canal running through to feed fish and turtles and a nice playground and picnic area with public restrooms.

Awesome little park with a disc golf course that has long and short tees. I shot a -14, -14 and a -16 from the short tees. Played 3 days in a row.

Great park for smaller kids, elementary or younger and particularly wonderful for parents as there are two small pavilions right next to the playground equipment, but best of all the equipment is in the shade (in the morning at least). There is also a nice little walking trail with a couple of small bridges for kids to look at the wildlife. The walking trails are not super shaded which makes it tough when its super hot. Overall though a wonderful little park that the wife and I love coming to when were back home visiting family!

I go to Ferry Park to play disc golf, and because it is where I first started to really play disc golf it has a special place in my heart and I enjoyed being there very much. It makes me happy. And, I must say, theres not a lot of things it I can make that statement about. I know, sob story right?

Small playground, bugs are insane there, very annoying. Great place to go for a jog or walk your dog. Has tennis courts and disc golf. The playground area is the only place the bugs are bad. 2 star playground, 5 star everything else.

Not a bad place to play for the kids and have a picnic. Happen to stop here to eat lunch. It so happens that theres an empty table for us to eat and people are friendly. The play is nice with trees helpful to the kids playing..

A very nice and clean park to enjoy while at our condo. The trail is 1 mile distance and can be biked also. They have frisbee golf course, that I might try out during future visits. The creek that runs through the park is just awesome to admire.

Great place to be outdoors! Has an 18 hole disc golf course, a playground for the kids, and a long concrete path with workout stations placed all around. The path is also good for walks and runs. Not too many people, but busy enough to get to know some of the people in your area

We went to Ferry Park to play disc golf and had a great time. The course is fun and well maintained. 5 stars for the disc golf course! My kids also played on the playground equipment and had a good time. The playground equipment is moderns and there was a lot packed into a small area. The part of this park that needs improvement is the bathroom. They are single occupancy bathroom but the doors are left open to allow for airflow (no AC) and smells strongly if cigarettes. If you can avoid the bathrooms you will have a great time. If you think you may need them then bring your own soap and paper towels as none are available. With planning this is a great place!

I love the trail here. Exactly one mile per lap and its nice, clean and feels safe. Plenty of activities to partake of along the way, if you so choose. Lots of animal sightings in their natural habitat.Love walking here with my daughter- in- law and granddaughter! Fresh air... the perfect elixir for a happy baby! Life is great!!!!

Review №58

An excellent park!! This park has a paved, partly sunny and partly shaded walking/running path which winds through various parts of the park and is visually entertaining. There is a 18? hole disc golf course, 3 tennis courts, a hitting wall, several small pavilions/picnic table areas, and a bathroom located within the park. Each time I go, I see a variety of people who seem to be friendly, and always a few friendly pets. The playground has several really cool, fun non-traditional pieces, which even I as a 44 yo enjoyed! My son (14) and I enjoyed a lot! You will want to park near the area you want to visit (ie..tennis courts vs. pavilion/playground area) unless you want to take a short walk along the paved path to get to the other area(s). I love the parking under the trees over by the tennis courts!

Love the layout of the park. Do nothing but chill in the shade on any of the many benches or shoot baskets on the full court that actually have real nets. The 6 wide concrete trail offers bicyclers like myself a way to wind around the park area and enjoy the day off.

Great park with multiple paths for jogging/walking. Real draw for me is disc golf. Nice short, but technical course through lots of trees. Well maintained, but becomes quite soggy with any sort of rain. Would still reccomend to anyone in need of a course in the area.

Park has a walking path, basketball court, and a disc-golf course.Disc-golf course details:Each tee well signed with both Pro and AM.Mostly short tees(under 300), with potential water hazards on 4,5,7,9,14,16,17, and 18, though its mostly shallow enough to see and retrieve wet discs.Flicks/LHBH shots on 1,2,3*,4*5*,6*,7*,8*,11,12*15,16, and 18.Course plays solo in ~30-45mins, duo in just about an hour.
