From the reviews
For 10 years I've lived 1 mile away from this park for the first 4 years I would jog to the park and then run 9-16 laps around the little lake, 6-7 days a week. But eventually stopped. Then I noticed they started frisbee golf and then frisbee golf became my new hobby.
…Track is smooth and goes around entire lake. Brigdes are narrow but safe.
Great park for the whole family. Walking/ bike track, baseball field, basketball court, tennis courts, Ultimate frisbee, and playground for the kids, with tons of parking
