What runners highlight

The things reviewers bring up again and again across 223 Google reviews — runner-reported, in their own words.

🧘 rarely crowded 5 mentions

“It's clean, has rubber ground so the kids don't get hurt, multiple slides, nice quiet area, benches to sit, and even a gazebo.”

👨‍👩‍👧 good for the whole family 3 mentions

“Give it 4 stars because both parks are not conjoined and the basketball court is too secluded for younger children but still nice for family.”

From the reviews

…If you love baseball and look for a place to practice the park has an area in the middle of the walking track for practice. Enjoy the outdoors while visiting the tree exhibits as well. This time of year they should have bats in the bat houses.

★★★★☆ — Steven, May 2018

This little hidden park is a great place for kids to play with a nice shaded playground and there is a paved walking track with a big field as well for playing soccer or football. I particularly love the bat houses and little free library, and fun fact, there is a geocache on site as well!

★★★★★ — Traveler, Mar 2024

…We only stayed at the top playground area but was told there were fields and a track as well. It's at the end of the road and had plenty of parking. There was plenty of benches and tables to sit and relax on with plenty of shade.
