Allan Michael· 3 years agoTwo excellent 🥒ball courts for organized planned play, gazebo with chairs to chill/rest & bathrooms nearby. What more do you need? Great multi use park with plenty of parking for all to use: basketball & tennis courts, skate park, beach volleyball, turf field, sprinkler park, children's playground and plenty of sidewalks or paved areas for walkers, joggers & fitness.
Robert O'Gorman· 9 years agoThis park is great and the playground Waterpark is perfect for my growing 2 year old. I even found solar charging stations. My first thought was "Why is it out in the sun...then it hit me...
Michael Kelly· 8 years agoCastaway Island Preserve is always clean of litter, the boardwalk is a perfect place to walk for twenty or thirty minutes. IN the middle of clearly marked paths one is likely to see awesome wildlife!
Sean McCarthy· 4 years agoGreat parks and spaces. Friendly customer support.
Dub Cap· 3 years agoGreat park for the kids this past week!
