My little family loves this place! Its so hidden but yet located conveniently to where we live. The fish pond is very attractive and full of turtles.

Had a great time with the grandkids, (before COVID), at this little park off of Parkwood ave in Summerville! It was clean, had a variety of playground equipment for them to play on, (old school stuff like a merry-go-round and seesaw), and the azaleas were in bloom. Highly recommend for a nice, uncrowded spot to enjoy a little outdoor fun!

Found this little park for the first time today! Full of Summerville charm with mature trees, azaleas, a pond featuring a hippo sculpture, pretty bridge, and tons of turtles. It felt like an extension of Azalea Park!

It was beautiful. We are going to have our wedding there in March. The bridge and gazebo or the perfect setting. So peaceful.

This is a beautiful park, a hidden gem. Its not large, but there is green space, a pond, a small bridge, a gazebo, walking paths, and, like a previous reviewer wrote, an old school playground with a metal slide. I really enjoyed taking my 12 year old and 2 year old. We all had a fun time. Also, the ducks are friendly and will likely walk up to you for food. Dont be afraid.

It is a very peaceful place to take your children and look at the turtles. Ive been taking my children there for 10 plus years.

Its a nice little park that I played on as a child but not have brought my kids back to multiple times. I have even taken my wife there on date nights just to push her in the swing and talk...

This park is an old school park. All the equipment I remember as a kid they dont install anymore. It really brought me back. Plus the kids love it because they dont make em like they used to anymore. You just have watch them because its pretty old stuff. The pond and nature trails are small and short but its a lovely place.

James Allen Park in Summerville is a cool park that is hidden in the middle of Summerville and provides a great place to stop during the middle of the day to get some fresh air and relax. I like that there is a trail and a bridge and water in the middle of the park. This park is well maintained and works well when you need a park for a picnic.

Park needs updating bad. A few things were broken. And the walking path is like a short little circle around a tiny pond. Not much of a walk at all.

Small park but good for a short play date with the little ones. There is a walking trail and pond as well. People enjoy hiding and finding painted rocks here.
