From the reviews

Great park for walking around the track. Playing for children to play on. You can watch softball games in the fall and spring. Fall on Saturday they have flag football for children and in the spring soccer. They have a great concession stand when they have ballgames. Great prices also!!

…Playground for the kids and a track to walk around (can easily keep up with the laps ). There is also a big field to play soccer/ football, two baseball fields. When available they have snacks for sale. There is a soda machine when snacks aren't available.

…Play sports, play on the play ground, walk the track, or visit a pal under the enclosed area, on a rainy day or watch a game! This park will not let you down! One last thing~ I tip my hat to the field maintenance. The respect everyone offers when it comes to the grass is communal!

★★★★★ — Erica, Sep 2022

Baseball and soccer fields. 1/2 mile lap is good for walking or a quick run. Plenty of room to throw a frisbe. PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG. There are bags available so no excuses.
