Wheelchair access okay. We parked on opposite side of stadium from where the 6000+ crowd were assembled. To be SO many folks it was easy in and very easy out. Presentation by Pastor Mark and the contemporary band was awesome. So awesome to remember what the reason for the season really is.

Love the parks. The kids from that area are a little rude though. Ive had multiple problems with bullying just about every visit but we love the different play areas and the ducks/geese

Very surprised and disappointed, there was NO social distancing and no mask wearing. My husband and I went out there with our kids and found an area to ourselves to take a few pics and left. I know ppl are very bored; but this Covid-19 Pandemic will never slow down by continuing to do like this!!

Awesome park! Multiple playgrounds with springy turf, covered pavilions with lots of picking tables, a duck pond, and a splash pad! We could have stayed all day.

Located in a beautiful setting of woods and spring fed lakes, there are an assortment of activities and areas for recreation and picnics. Lots of activities for children and adults, including a splash pad, beach volleyball, frisbee golf, soccer and baseball fields and much more. Check it out.

Large park! We were just looking for a nice, quiet place to kill time until drop off for Space Camp. Looks like a busy and active place for locals. Lots of sports ball areas, small playgrounds, ponds, and a splash area for the littles.

Played the most games here while in the area. Great little technical course. Short, great for practice, usually busy which can be good and bad. Storms did a number on the place in May. Nicest park in the area by far, I think.

Quick Take: Playground was nice, lots of places to play. Easy to find off Memorial.Review: Playground was really great and a very good size. Lots of swings and such. I would take my kids back. Area seemed okay in terms of safety but Id only go during the daytime!

It would have been better without these illogical numbers restrictions for how many kids can play together at the splash pad.

The Brahan Springs Disc Golf, built in 1972, is the second course made. The 18 3 par holes whind around through pine trees as tall as a 2 - 3 story building. which makes it technical and difficult for beginners, but once after a little practice anyone can have a lot of fun. There are also local leagues to join that play the course weather permitting on a weekly basis . And also tournaments of multiple levels of experience throughout a year for example, March 7th 2020 the disc company called MVP is having a winner challenge tournament. Which I have already signed up for and looking forward to I managed to walk six miles today playing three rounds of 18 holes just practicing as I am not a pro and there will be people there better than me but I still have fun weather I get a competitive Edge built up through the process of playing better players or not. Luckily one advantage of having such tall and clothes together pine trees is the pine needles cover the ground which allows it to dry quickly in times of rain where you could not go and play at another course and the people that play on the course make it one of the best well kept and maintained courses Ive been on.

It is just a nice fun place to go. My 4 yr old daughter loves it. We always go play on the bigger play ground, then go to the duck pond there and feed the ducks. Some ducks will come up and eat out of your hand. It is just a good place to go and have some fun!

Review №56

The updates they have made to this complex are great! Its so nice to have a close, clean bathroom to use. The players love the turf fields too because they can play in the rain. The only downside is all the little rubber beads that you bring home with you from the field.

It would be a great place to relax and read a good book or your Bible or listen to music but creepy old men pull up next to your vehicle trying to have a conversation with you. They always have that cold look in their eyes.

Wonderful afternoon with my five year old grandson. We bought a bag of dry pet foot to feed the ducks and he truly loved having them come so close! Next, to the playground area which is covered in add to turf! All equipment is well maintained, benches to relax on while watching kids play and an overall good experience. A lovely park for family fun!

Always love it out here. Great place to take a walk, sit and chill by the waterside. Volleyball area, disc golf, baseball, horseshoes, park for the youngins. Pavilions to hand cookouts. Great for the whole family.

They have several playground areas, a disc golf course, multiple soccer fields, and the pond to either fish or sot around.

Review №67

Really enjoyed this place with my toddler. The splash pad is super cute and fenced in. The playground is a bit dated, but good for many ages. Up the road from the splash pad is a smaller playground for littler kids, which was great, because we got there before 10 when the splash pad opens. Bring a picnic lunch and plenty of hydration, even though water fountains are available. Bathrooms were clean. My only pseudo complaint was that trash cans were few and far between and therefore a lot of trash was just on the ground. However, its a really lovely place to visit, for a large city-run operation!

Review №77

Best childrens playground in Huntsville. They have installed 3 separate playgrounds so the smaller tykes can enjoy their very own space at the North end of the park. They also offer a free splash pad, sand volleyball courts, Advanced disc golf course, large pond with ducks and fish. Excellent place in the center of the city to enjoy the weather, spend quality time with your family, or just take a break from the insanity

We enjoy coming here. Occasionally you get people who leave their rash everywhere or smoke near toys or splash pad (a major issue for asthmatic children) but my kids enjoy the different play areas. During the spring and summer its fun to feed the ducks fish in the pond across the way.

Review №86

The only section of this park I have been to is the recreational building. It really needs to be cleaned. The floors, walls, and bathrooms all need to be cleaned. Under the bleachers is absolutely filthy. The bleachers need to be moved back against the walls to give players more room. It has repeatedly been requested by the taxpayers for these bleachers to be moved against the walls and the facility has repeatedly denied this request. This is a building that is paid for by the taxpayers and the taxpayers are not getting their moneys worth. Players have to wait and wait and wait for a turn to play on the floor because the staff will not move the bleachers back. It is overstaffed for what the staff is apparently asked to do.

Review №87

We love this place! The only recommend ation that I have is to change the colors of some of the playground equipment as black and dark colors attract Sun and it basically scorched my childs hands and feet until I realized it.
