I quite enjoyed visiting this park, and I wished more communities had one like this. It has basketball and tennis courts, a volleyball pit, a couple of baseball/softball fields, several open fields, a couple of pavilions, several grills for BBQ, and of course a nice covered bridge over the creek. The creek has some trout, and you can see them facing up stream if you’re lucky enough. It has several cycling lanes leading up to it from the motorway, which is nice. Would highly recommend a visit anytime of the year, cheers.

Ive gone here since I was in elementary school, I just took my husband here two days ago to go Creek Walking. Its better to go in the summer where the frigid water doesnt make your bones ache. We still had a super fun time, nonetheless!We even found a Centre County Rocks rock in the middle of the creek down by the bridge. We threw it back in the water so maybe someone else can find it.

Great place to walk with many trails/paths to follow. The scenery is forever changing with wildflowers and blossoming trees. Look for fish and ducks in the many little coves near the creek. Enjoy the outdoors while social distancing. This is a well maintained park in College Township.

Good creek for wading in the water. The childrens playground does focus on small child equipment. Nice restrooms near the playground.

The shallow creek was great, and the facilities are clear and well maintained. The abundance of picnic tables, field area, and play equipment were awesome additions to the creek. Also the covered bridge was a nice place to walk through and watch the creek trickling over the rocks.The beetles were pretty cute too!

You will enjoy this park on a good day. I saw some people with their family in the pavilions, people doing barbeques and kids at the swing and playgrounds. There are benches where you can just sit and read. I saw some people doing that as well. There are trails where you can walk around. I really enjoy this park.

Breath in the fresh air and get closer to nature with a walk over the covered bridge.

The basketball courts are in good condition relative to other parks in the area. There are a couple of baseball/softball fields as well. There is also a small playground. The creek that runs along the edge of the park is nice as well. The park even has a neighboring hiking trail. Overall its a great park and the only drawback is the distance from town. It mostly requires a car to get to, but there is adequate parking. I really like this park.

Review №68

I visited this park yesterday under the impression that it was a dog park, since it came up on Google maps when I searched for dog park - maybe because one reviewer here mentioned walking the dog off-leash. There is no fenced-in area and there are no signs indicating leashes are required or not required - no signs. The park is pretty spacious but bounded by roads and properties. When I went there were no other dogs in the park. Lovely park, beautiful little creek, maybe pretty nice for well-trained dog off-leash, but its not a dog park.
