M Sumner· 5 months agoGreat non-beach getaway when you’ve overdone the beach for a few days! Good clean playground, courts and a workout area. Also plenty of walking or biking paved trails to make a short morning out of it. Plenty of wild chickens roaming around which the kids may enjoy as well.
Scott Carpenter· 3 months agoPickleball open play from 9a - 11a. Got there a little early and there were a few people already started. Drove by there after 11a and people were still there. Had a great time and would recommend if your in there area.
