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.

★★★★☆ — Connor, Mar 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Christon, Sep 2019

…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...

★★★★★ — Ben, Sep 2023

…Fields for baseball, little league, soccer, track & field, tot lot and in-season refreshment stand. No better facility.
