John Henry Johnson Park

"Small park on W.Leland Road 3 different playgrounds for kids and a walk in jogging pathway with a distance off 1/3 of a mile."

"I go to this park to walk. I start at my house, walk up Leland and then enter the park at the parking entrance. Walking up Leland gives me an incline that is beneficial for my hips. I have many injuries due to my many years working for the Postal Service delivering mail. I retired due to those injuries and gained 35 pounds. So now trying to get back on track I’ve begun walking, slowly at first, with a walker around my neighborhood and as my strength grew and the pain subsided (a bit) I started walking to the park and then returned through it walking up the grassy slopes, up and down and then doing 25 step ups on some tree stumps at the edge of the park, then back home. It takes me about 25 minutes. Twenty five minutes is a lot for me seeing as I could barely do 8 minutes before the pain in my hips and then my ankles and feet would make me quit. At 66 years of age I can’t baby myself. Don’t know what movie or where I heard “get to moving or get to dying.” I encounter many folks at the park in their walks and most are friendly. The park is clean and I feel safe walking there. I’m grateful it is so close to my home."

"This is a good park for our family. There is lots of room to spread out or play some field sports. We fly kites here, kick the soccer ball, play on the playgrounds, and walk the dog. The walking trail is a great length for a partly shaded walk."

"Great park to walk, very clean and nice walkways inside park. Kids playing area. Loved it"

"Public restroom(s) 3 different small litto parks to choose from ALL with metal picnic tables and BBQ. Plenty of grass areas and I've observed lots of people walking/jogging"
