Beautiful park. New nets for pickleball players.

Olga Courtnage· 9 months ago

Good tennis courts. Get busy but people are polite, we went 6 days in a row around 8-9 am and we're always able to get a court.

Great place to walk around and take in the sites of the parks many local ducks. The park has a tennis court with pickle ball. There is plenty of benches and places to sit around the pond. There are little book exchange boxes located on the grounds if you're looking to kill a few mins with a quick word game or take home your new thrilling novel 😀. Across the street they have a great dog park that allows plenty of space for your dog to run free!
