A· 7 years agoNice park, but the pavilion area is swarming with wasps. Not sure who to contact to get this fixed, but it's unsafe to have these large wasp nests here. Otherwise it was a nice, clean park. Pretty empty when I came
BOE BUCE· a month agoGreat Park! They have a couple of Pickleball courts that need repaired. But I heard they my be repairing this summer
ACY· 7 months agoSewage smell throughout neighborhood is so awful you can’t be outside to enjoy the amenities. People throw trash in yards from vehicles, very disappointing. Speeding vehicles are a huge safety hazard.
Jonathan Chen· 2 years agoTennis courts are newly paved in great shape, the fence is a little close to the edge of the court.
Carrie Brown Owens· a year agoThis park was such a treasure to find. They have pickle ball and tennis courts, a playground, a walking track, basketball court, and handball courts. It was amazing outdoor space.
