From the reviews

This place is another place to hangout at. It has a track path, a skating area, a dog play area, basketball court with two hoops, and a playground. Probably has another field somewhere but it is a larger park.

…nice dog park and tennis courts and track for run around the football field. Goose poop was a little much around the baseball field area grass, but where there's geese, there's poop!

★★★★★ — Eileen, Dec 2020

I love it here, you can go to the playgrounds, go over the bridge, play basketball, softball, or run on the track. But I like to walk in the woods on the trail because the deer here are so tame they get so close it's so beautiful.
