Barton Cooper· a year agoNice park. Skateboard area, several ball fields and rest rooms. Small lake with pier. There is also a nice size playground. Lots of large shade trees. The staff maintain it very nicely.
Sheri Bougher· 3 years agoMy daughter and I LOVES to play at this park and even walk the trail because we surely do love our walks together. She was also excited that she got to see two rabbits out there during our walk! [[ Will post a few pictures ]]
Legit Lee Velez (Legit Lee)· 11 months agoThis place is great to take you kids and niece and nephews to have fun and walk around to see wild animals and play in the park with swings and the jungle gym the only thing that would of been better is they had a basketball court to play basketball but all they had was basketball and I think they had a soccer ball court area side too! But no basketball 😕!
Kulotta· a year agoLake Bonny Park is an absolute gem for parents with young children. The play area is spacious, well-maintained, and offers plenty of shade, making it perfect for hot summer days. The mulch surface is a great alternative to dirt. I especially appreciate the variety of play equipment, which caters to kids of all ages. From slides and swings to climbing structures, there's something to keep every toddler entertained. Lake Bonny Park is a fantastic destination for family outings and a must-visit for parents seeking a fun and safe place for their children to play.
