Reviews
"This is a very nice, well kept park. The community center has clean bathrooms. There is a playground, baseball field, basketball courts, tennis courts and a fitness trail that is .8 miles long. There are picnic tables, trash cans, and dog cleanup stations throughout the park."
"It was a great park, but we went for the basketball court and there was only one goal that we found and it looked like it was on the edge of a circular driveway, so some pavement and some grass. It was kind of weird, but we had fun. Other than that, it looked like a great park."
"In the heart of midtown there is an unpaved walking trail that is .8 miles long according to the sign. Bridges and trees in a beautiful area. Toddler loved the walking trail. There are workout stations along the trail. Very clean. There is a playground, baseball field, and tennis court. The playground this Saturday morning was extremely busy."
"Multiple hiking trails of different levels of difficulty. Good signage pointing you in the right direction. The difficulty levels are color coded. There are a few benches along the trails. There's also a playground and an area for dogs to relieve themselves. I did see restrooms but didn't use them so I don't know if they're flushing or vault toilets. There are a few shelters with picnic tables. This park serves as a good choice for an active or relaxing afternoon."
"Super impressed with the park. Nice playground area for the kids. A couple of tennis courts. Picnic tables. Pavilion. There’s a .8 mile loop that’s shady from all the beautiful mature trees. A nice little piece of nature in the middle of town. It also has fit stations with examples of how to use them. Overall it was a pleasant visit"
