David Hollands· a year agoHands down the coolest putt concept that I had ever seen. It’s an adult playground and must be seen in person to fully appreciate. There are two courses, Tiger Red and Tiger Black. Each hole is well designed and requires a plan of attack to par. This isn’t a hit the ball in the clowns nose putt putt from the 80s. It requires skill or luck to score well. Pro-Tip: If you’re local to Manatee County and plan to play more than once a month, just buy the $25/mo membership. It’s less than a day pass and great value as long as you play twice a month. Pro-Tip 2.0: If your just looking for a cool place to chill while the rest of the party plays, go up stairs. It was half empty on my visit. Great views of the course, a huge bar with a wall of TV, tables, and couches. I’ll see ya at Pop Stroke
Kevin Mccann· 10 months agoThis playground and community center are such a gem for our neighborhood! The playground is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed with equipment for kids of all ages — from toddler-friendly swings and slides to climbing structures that keep older kids engaged. There’s plenty of shade and seating for parents, which makes it comfortable to spend time here even on warm days.
Dirty Skirtz· a year agoIt's A. Beautiful park to take your kids or yourself. Maybe even a dog on just a nice walk.... They have Tennis courts.They have basketball courts.They have the new playground with all the new fun toys.... And little hidden secret that not many people know is Where the bathrooms are in the back is actually a trail that you can walk very deep Into the Woods and have a really cool nature walk. 💯 There's a pickle ball court and a stretch of parking lot behind that which people practice slow speed, motorcycle stuff! So it's a phenomenal park. Just be respectful.
JewelyMagooly· 7 years agoLove this park... Away from the hustle and bustle... Quiet... Up to date... Clean... All equipment up to date... And enough play equipment to keep my kids happy. Great shade and seating as well!
Shawn Brinager· 4 years agoSo much to do! They have two different playgrounds, a tennis court, a baseball field, multiple picnic tables with some being covered to fight off any rain. Bathrooms are open to the public and lots of open grass for the kids to run off all their energy!
