One of the worst experiences of our Tournament Lives! Have the special chance to host a World Championship, and brought teams in from all over the Country! Parks department got to play God and dictate the fate of 20 teams that all spent over 5000.00 each just to play! Some teams spent way more! To cancel a world Tournament when it could have been played was a decision that cost teams well over 100,000.00 Total! They stole our money! Hendersonville will never Host a Major Softball Tournament again! I put money on that!

Nice ball park. Well maintained for the most part and a nice creek to walk along at the edge of the park. If you hang out for a couple of hours you may see the locomotive roll by. Pretty cool!!!

Had my sons soccor tournament here over the weekend. It is a very nice park with multible soccer feilds, baseball feilds. There are two buildings with bathrooms inside them. Theres also concession stands. There is a nice paved path for running/biking and dog walking. Creek runs alongside it just inside the woods where there is also another rough path.

This park brings back memories for me. My kids played and practiced soccer and baseball on the numerous fields in Drakes Creek Park over 15 years ago. There have been many updates to the park including a newer walking and biking path. I bring my grandson here quite a bit. He doesnt care for the kids play area but loves to throw the baseball around or just run around the soccer fields. Its usually pretty quiet during the work week though the weekend mornings are the busiest times during the sports seasons.

Its an excellent park and very well maintained. When youre sweating in the worst of the summer heat and you duck into a small bathroom thats well air conditioned, how much better could it get than that?

Nice facilities but fields are like concrete. Very dry,, not watered before games. Lots of crazy hops.

Yes its awesome but they need to keep those kids off the softball theyve dug up all the batters boxes they have fields for the kids thats where they need to be

I’ve been coming to this park for years. I love the new alarm that rings when the fields need to be cleared because of weather. I got to see this first hand when lightning was in the area the other day. When the alarm rang all of the coaches immediately got the kids off the fields. We even heard it over the train that was going right next to our field! Great addition, safety first!!

Nice, big complex. Only problem is there is only one 2 lane road in and out. Traffic within the complex can get really backed up. Sat for 30 min one night just trying to get out of the complex due to thunderstorms canceling our game. But other than the traffic issue, its a great soccer park that is well maintained.

Review №39

The fields are super well maintained by park staff. New bleachers with sun protection are nice. The main baseball, softball, and soccer fields are top notch and are some of the gems of the city. Be prepared for poor cell service. Calls and texts work ok but data is super bad. Even with the new 5 g antenna.

This park is so beautiful and has lots to offer if your kids want to run around and play, nature walks, feed wildlife or play sports.

What a fun and wonderful place to take the kids! Plenty of space for kids to run and play, walking trails, and feeders for the ducks make it a fun and enjoyable afternoon. The enclosed playground is also well maintained with enough variety.

Great atmosphere for young players. My son plays football and baseball at this park and its always packed with events and sports going on. We also go for the 4th of July celebration every year. Get there early though because so does a lot of other families. Great food and games as well as an amazing fire works show.

Lovely walking paths. Saw seven deer crossing across some of the soccer fields tonight about thirty minutes past sundown.

Review №55

I just moved into the complex near the park. And I cant be happier. The path allows my girlfriend and I to walk for hours. Its a five mile course, the way we walk it. Could do without the goose poop. But you find that pretty much anywhere now-a-days. In fact, in Ohio, we have it all along the Erie. No matter where a person walks, its just crazy how bad it gets.

I love this place! Been coming here since I was a child. Lots of fond memories here. Beautiful park. Lots of places to play soccer, baseball. Free Wi-Fi is nice! I know all the grounds crew and theyre some amazingly nice people. And its home to the commandos soccer field.

Review №59

We love this park and sports complex with one caveat that Ill come back to. The park has a great trail along the creek for running, walking or biking. Its got access to a smaller spring that our kids like playing in. It has a couple of playgrounds and large fields as well. The sports facilities are well-maintained. The only issue is that the traffic on busy days is unbearable. There are two entrances but both feed a choke point. Only one of the entrances has a traffic light and you can end up waiting to exit for over 1/2 hour.

On a overcast, Saturday morning we had a couple of hours to kill. We found Drakes Creek park, and a covered picnic area. We had brunch and just relaxed as we watched a few brave joggers and cyclists

There is something for everyone here. Rec leagues for baseball, softball, soccer and football as well as a nice greenway for riverside running, jogging and walking. Nearby fishing, shopping, batting cage / mini golf, playgrounds and restaurant options.Its easy to spend a day here!

Lame. Went for the holiday light show and there was literally no light show...it was maybe 12 little light up Christmas decorations. One minute of driving...if even that...literally if you blink youd miss it!!

Love this place a lot of activities to get yourself wrapped up in. I enjoy fishing here (especialy after a good hard rain). Grandkids love feeding the ducks and fishing also.

Review №79

This is a nice open area to take your offspring when you really need to let them run the crazy out. Very spacious and open when they arent playing any sports. Be warned though on game days it can get very crowded. Advisable to get there early because once the soccer crowd starts piling in it fills up fast. Id bring your own water because fountains are few and far between as are restrooms.

Went for a granddaughters soccer game, traffic was horrible due to the multiple sports fields, only 1 road and its small, inadequate parking, think goodness her field was closest to the creek so we had some shade trees, it was very hot that day

Review №99

We spend a lot of time at Drakes Creek Park. Its a great place to walk, run, bike, picnic and enjoy a nice day. It also offers a lot in the way of youth sports through local clubs and organizations (soccer, baseball, softball, flag football, etc.). The only downfall is there is only one long road leading past the baseball fields to the soccer fields. This makes for heavy traffic when leaving the park after soccer games on a busy Saturday.

My kids 2 and 6 had a blast and it seems like a pretty safe park to let your kids play. The people there were friendly and the park is fenced so no need to worry about your kids wandering too far
