Len Hester Park

"We enjoy sitting on a bench near the pond and watching the ducks."

"This park is tiny but one of my favorite hidden gems. It's great for dogs, walking, frisbee, barbecues, gatherings, or personal solitude. There are small BBQs (about 5 throughout, I'd guess) with trees to provide shade and there is a provided water fountain for both pups and people. The park is in a residential area, with homes direcrly across the street. Parking is rather limited, room for about 20 cars max, maybe? On my afternoon visits I usually see about 5 cars including my own. There is an elementary school on the immediate side, sharing grass with this park. On the school grounds they have basketball courts (2) There is a play structure (on rubber terf ), ball wall, state tag, soccer /baseball field. I've seen dogs running in the field , kids playing basketball after school hours, I've taken my niece and nephew to the swings on the weekends. There is a gas station within walking distance. This park also has a pet feed directly across the street. This park is closed at sundown and does not permit visitors at night. This park is directly attached to the trail. Has sturdy park benches and a really good view to watch the sunsets. (More so to enjoy the colors vs the "view" as it is on flat ground, but it really is stunning ). Oh, I should mention there are NO restrooms available at the park or school."

"Nice park for sunrise view… I often go here to see the dawn."

"Very family friendly park! People also love to bring their dogs and seems to have doggy play dates. There is normally lots of fetch and kids running around, so it can feel pretty busy."

"I walk my dog though here a couple of days a month. The park is clean and tucked away. Not fully enclosed as it is right next to two very minor car traffic streets. Seems like a good place for kids since there is no real traffic. Also right next to a school that has play equipment."
