James Fox· 3 months agoThe kids love this park and it’s free! Everyone helps keep it nice! It’s a wonderful place for your kids to run their energy out at! I always bring a bag with water and snacks and it has plants of shade spots and a pavilion with four benches! It also has a bathroom by the baseball diamonds.
Gordon Young· 5 months agoGreat new courts for pickleball. 4 covered. Lighting indoors was adequate. Courts are in great shape and offer good play opportunities.
Bryan Baker· 2 weeks agoBaseball fields are well maintained, tennis courts are ok, and new pickleball courts are great.... But the playground is dated, rusted, and bordering on dangerous for some time now. Prioritize kids safety over pickleball courts and figure it out
Amanda Gulley· a month agoWe love coming to this park any day of the week. The location is perfect, there's fields, courts, playground for the littles, brand new bathrooms, and so much more. Great park for all ages to enjoy.
