From the reviews
…There is an 8 lane track, a hurling court, long jump sand pit, and multiple baseball diamonds. The biggest problem with this park is the gravel parking lot. It’s always dusty and never has painted lines.
Great sports park. Newly upgrade track, baseball fields and in the process of upgrading the football/soccer fields. Also a tot playground on premises. Ample parking though it is a gravel lot.
…There's a beautiful synthetic rubber running track around one of the fields. The bathrooms were closed at the time we were there so I can't comment on them. My one criticism was the car park is a gravel surface with a lot of loose dirt underneath...
…Fields for baseball, little league, soccer, track & field, tot lot and in-season refreshment stand. No better facility.
