Recent reviews for Walter Anderson Memorial Park. Reviews are updated automatically.
Tommy Duncan· 3 years agoThe Pickleball courts need a wider sidewalk for wheelchair access and water facet even though the baseball field has it. Bleachers like the baseball field. The center lights for the Pickleball courts are either too low or need adjusting in a more downward direction. Other than that, it is a good place to play
Allan Michael· 4 years agoThe pickleball courts are nice with good grit that dries quickly after rain. There's no water refill stations that are now commonplace at most parks nor is there a nearby bathroom that is properly maintained. Port o let's are a long walk away. Courts should have landscaping of mulch or coquina shells instead of grass. City appears to be getting it ready for light installation in the future for nighttime use.
Cynthia Montbriand· 3 years agoOpen sunrise to sunset, a great place to play tennis, basketball or a friendly baseball game. Playground and swings available. Even a picnic table to enjoy some good family fun!
Camden Thompson· 8 months agoNeeds more (PRO) pickleball players to play there. It’s to easy, I win every match🥱💩
Ann Bolebruch· 6 years agoThe city or whomever is in charge of this park needs to invest some time and dollars. The baseball field is in needs to be leveled and treated for Fire Ants 🐜. The Handicap parking stops are broken and the unpaved parking lot has a few to many holes that fill with water after any rain. Basketball courts also need attention.
