It was completely empty and the wind picked up so it wasn't as hot in the shade. After playing on the toys we went to the little lake for a relaxing walk. No bugs or annoying flies but we did see turtles, rabbits, and a family of ducks (complete with 7 little ducklings ) we had a great time and I'm excited to come back!

This park is located next the the soccer fields that was previously named the State Farm park. This park is new and a great place to walks the dogs and take kids to play. There's even a nice man-made lake you can walk laps around. HOWEVER I'm giving this park 4 stars because I've seen teenagers here bring a giant bong to the park on a school day. Sorry I'm that person that doesn't advocate illegal activities. (call me a Debbie downer) I still enjoy this park and it's maintained very nicely our community needs to figure out how to not let it get overturned with bad activity's. As a women I still wouldn't come here alone after sunset. It's new so it can be barren at times which could be the perfect opportunity for something bad to go down.

My friend, Joan, likes to bring her dogs here to play and get exercise, but I'd never joined her so I was missing out on all the other opportunities there are here for good clean outdoor fun in the sun. There's quite a bit of equipment for children of all ages to clamber about and plenty of bark below to help soften a fall. There are public restrooms, though I did notice that there were also port-a-potties out front - not sure what was up with that. There is a large covered area with long picnic tables and adjacent barbecue grills perfect for large groups to picnic. You can reserve this picnic shelter, which has a capacity of 80 people, for your own group by contacting the NOR Parks & Recreation District at 392-2010 and filling out an application which can be downloaded here http://norfun.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/FR-100-Use-of-Facility-Online-Packet.pdf If you're into outdoorsy sports, there are four lighted sofball diamonds complete with bleachers. There is also a full sized tennis court, a full sized basketball court, and two basketball half courts. There were people practicing or playing on two of the baseball diamonds and on the tennis courts and random people picnicking with families the day of our visit. There is plenty of grass for kids or dogs to play on (please clean up after both groups) and picnic tables scattered randomly about the park. I think I may join my friend and her dogs for their next outing here.

The entire park is covered in USA flags and it is always an awe inspiring sight. The day of ceremony always draws a large crowd.

It's also good to see families and friends gather at this awesome local park. It's nice to see the the park is being reinvested in with the playground currently under construction to bring in new equipment. I'll have to post some pictures of the structure once it's done!

My best friend and I took a break from studying so that we can go for a walk here. Honestly, this park is so nice and I wouldn't mind laying out a blanket on the grass and reading under a tree. It was a refreshing place to relax our minds. I loved seeing the ducks and geese wading in the water. For the most part, the park is kept clean but it makes me sad to see garbage accumulate where the animals swim.

Overall he felt he didn't get a lot out of it. The other kids were very unsportsmanlike, often putting him down. He had decided this is the sport he wanted to hone in on and after a year and a half of not playing due to a global pandemic, he was definitely rusty but was hopefulto get back into the game. My son came home feeling very defeated over being put down by the other kids every single day he was there. When asked what the adults in charge did about it after he made them aware of the behavior, he said "well ... nothing". When running camps such as these one of the expectations I have as a parent is that the kids be encouraging, but sadly this was not the case. At the end of the clinic, my son asked how he would receive his evaluation since he wanted to work on any areas of improvement with his dad. The coach said "check the email for which you signed up." Interesting because I paid via venmo and reached out to sign him up through text as instructed. So it's almost August and never got the evaluation as advertised. I'd like to give BBA another try at some point but it would be helpful if they would work on the attitude and behavior of their players and follow through on delivery of services as advertised. At this point I'd spend my $100 elsewhere.
