★★★★★ — Johnny, Jun 2025

My grandson played football and practiced at this park… both my grandchildren were part of the track team… when my son was little, he played baseball at this park. I swim here and sometimes walk the perimeter. It is a very well used park by all races, all ages, and for a number of fun activities.

★★★★★ — Doris, Jan 2025

Clean, modern facilities. The track is soft and well maintained. The tennis courts are wonderfully clean and well paved, and the basketball courts are as well. The grounds are nice, and it’s a really awesome place to be around your fellow community members.
