Very nice park. Well kept, lots of benches and a scenic trail. Places to cook out with friends and family and a place for the kids. Theres frisbee golf and a baseball diamond. In the winter, there is a great sledding hill. Come on down and see for yourself.

Pretty decent for an older disc golf park. Wooded...shady. Pads and baskets could use an update, but it certainly has its challenges. I particularly like the back 9 through the woods!

Nice disc golf course with challenging wooded holes. Walking path and picnic pavilions.

Theres is construction on the park. They are installing sewer lines and putting a tank for sewage where the baseball field used to be. They have the entrance closed on 18th with no signs warning you the entrance is closed. They have all parking closed except by the shelter off of Ferry. With so much digging its dirty everywhere and way more bugs than usual. No parking or entrance for wheelchair either. Very disappointed. The people playing frisbee golf took all parking spots and used two spots per vehicle. Why are they putting a sewer tank over the baseball field feet away from Murdock elementary.

We stopped to play a round of disc golf. The park was clean and well groomed. The front 9 had nice open spaces with enough trees to make it interesting. The back 9 ran through the woods and had much tighter fairways. It looked like the pro trees offered a new way to approach each of the holes besides just adding distance, even on the front 9.

Murdock Park is a great place for you or your family to enjoy some outdoor time. There is a basketball court, softball field, playground, multiple covered patios, disc golf course, mountain bike trail, bathroom, and a walking path that winds throughout the park! Lots of great amenities packed into a public space.

This park is a pretty wooded park right in the middle of town. We stopped at the shelter and had a dinner. Then we set the kids up at a playground, while husband and I played a few goals of disc golf. We didnt get to do the whole course, but the 3 goals we played were fun and easy to spot. We will definitely go back and play some more.

Murdock park is a clean,safe and relaxing place. Not much for kids but plenty of space to walk, picnic and plenty of shade. There is a disc golf course within. It is not far from grocery stores, burgers, pizza etc.

Great place to go walking, with a nice disc golf course. The back nine holes in the woods are pretty winding & brambly, though.

Fun disc golf park. More of an urban course. It overlaps and never walk to far. I like it

The city definitely need to come and do a lot of work the swamp is flooded on a regular basis when the water fountain near the baseball park is on my opinion theres a leak in the pipeline to keeps that swamp filled with water once its off it starts to drain out and dry up the needs to be paid maintained a little better and especially on the disc Parkside in the woods trash is everywhere all kinds of things need to be repaired or remove Fallen trees from inside that part of the disc golf course that definitely needs work the city doesnt spend enough time he like to know where my tax dollars go

Park is small, but never seems extremely busy. Hate the school, but having the little park there allows kids to hang out after school and socialize.

I love Murdock park. There is a nice pavillion and it doesnt cost anything to use. You just gotta hope no one else is there. Lol. There is a nice play area for the kids right next to the pavillion. Theres a little league field up the way and the facilities for the bathroom could be closer. Thats quite a walk. (Bathrooms are close to baseball field, not the pavillion) in the winter, we have a snow slide called Murdock Hill very nice and you can purchase snacks and drinks there. The field has a built is Frisbee game if you like that kind of stuff. There is an elementary school up by the baseball field that also has a play area that is open to the public during the summer. Very nice park. Update: baseball field is gone now

A great place for a walk, and the Frisbee Golf course is excellent, there are some mountain bike paths. Very small playground. During the winter there is an awesome hill for sledding (it was actually constructed for this, with a banked curve and everything).

The frisbee golf course is well maintained and well laid out. I think it is the best in the area. There are bike trails at the North end of the park that are good for a work out but not anything special

Cute little park when there to kill some time and noticed they had a disc golf course. Luckily I keep my discs in my trunk! Course was a little confusing but we just played a few random holes. Park was nice. Open but lots of trees too. Its not huge but it has some rolling hills that make it seem bigger than it is.

Disk golf course, sledding hills, and beautiful trails. A large section of the park contains very densly packed trails whose main purpose appears to be for mountain biking. These trails are not as welcoming to walk or run on.
