Zachary Fleming· 2 months agoVery large and nicely kept park for baseball, multiple fields and bating cages. Clean facilities and large parking lot.
Kent Siefert· 7 years agoThis ia where my boys have been playing T ball for the last two seasons. The fields are well kept. The umpires and staff have been friendly and helpful. Seating is only bench seats, and there is no cover for spectators. The teams dugouts are covered however, so your kiddos can get a break from the sun. 4 fields in total, and one small park, slide area to keep the little kids from being bored. Pretty good location overall.
Clark Sapp (Oceanmedicman)· 5 years agoDurrell Lee Park is a great place for sports or just walking. Several fields make up the park to accommodate different athletics. Many locals use the parks nice parking lot and manicured lawns for walking. The park is well lit at night with an adequately large parking lot. Always clean and manicured. I personally use the park for running or fast walking.
Bryan Isa· 7 years agoIt's pleasant to walk past if you're on a walk. Nice large area for kids to play safely. It's far enough away from the two main roads that connect with each other that the kids would be hard pressed to accidentally get in the roads due to the brush around the area.
Erin C· 4 years agoWe'll maintained ball fields. The restrooms could use some updating or at least a good cleaning. a little more seating and shade for the stands would be nice as well.
