Kayla Berdis· 4 months agoSmall but nice place to walk dogs (especially if they have been riding in car for an hour). Also has tennis courts. Nice playground. Picnic tables under a pavilion. clean bathroom (not five star luxury but clean enough for public park restroom). It has a nice little pond too. Great stopping place if driving through.
Jeffrey Mulder· 3 weeks agoTennis is great here. Pickleball is available as well.
Sheri Bougher· 4 years agoI remember going to this park when I was a little kid and living near by it, too. Now, I'm taking my kids and they love how it looks like a train 🚂😁 But, it would be nice to have some swings here and some more shade over some of the playground equipment because the sun will make it super hot and will burn our skin.
Michael Feist· a year agoNice small neighborhood park with well maintained tennis and pickleball courts. There's a small playground that's great for the little ones but older kids, maybe 8+, will get bored. There's also a small pavilion and a well maintained public restroom. All in all great small park.
Ezra Myers· 5 years agoThe tennis courts are nice to walk to in the evening and watch people play. They had it roped off because of the virus recently but I think it's back open again. If your sick don't spread the love and don't cough on or near me or my area please. Show respect.
