Reviews
"The park itself is awesome they did good remodeling, and the bathroom was even clean. However, the entrance is like walking into a drug hole, but after you pass the first area at the entrance, it's normal again"
"A sweet park. The very nice, if small, playground is nestled among trees and picnic pavilions. The reason for 5 stars is that at the pavilion nearest the playground we’re three guys drinking from brown paper bags. Now, they minded their own business and even greeted us when we arrived and departed, but, well, they didn’t have kids there and it seemed on the shady side to me. The next visit was downright bad. 3 tough looking older teens walked up with music blaring from a boom box and the girl started dancing like a maniac. My kid is 10 years old and looked at her like she was nuts, but the clincher was the music. OMG rude. I’m all for live and let live - IF you don’t harm others - but I gotta tell you, you probably haven’t heard some of the nasty words and scenarios in this ridiculous excuse for music. Two other women grabbed their 3 year old as my girl listened in horror. She immediately said she wanted to go too. Bottom line? Not sure your child or you are safe here, though it’s a nice park for kids."
"A hidden gem of a park in NE Gainesville. Beautiful tall pines give shade to this child friendly area. Kids will love the multi level sky fort play structure. Make sure to walk around the Rotary Club gear also."
