Sorry but I don't need my dog to be covered in mud and leave it all over the inside of my car or seat covers. The other dog park (I assume for small dogs was chained off because I guess it's new grass planted in there? There is a side for Big and small dogs. But really if dogs are peeing and pooping on wet dirt and everyone's walking in it including dogs that's gross. So used to pros with lush green grass. We weren't there for long. I took my small dog on a walk on some trails. They do provide doggie bags and poop-cans to dispose of poop. The small dog area was nice looking with grass and all. Hoping they plant grass on the muddy side otherwise people won't want to bring dogs here.

Some of the courts and fields have lighting available and some of the softball fields can be reserved. I enjoyed the walking track today, some of which is natural and some of which is paved. A great walk through some trees and shade. There's apparently 2.1 miles of track, even if I only used a small portion of it. Kids will enjoy the playground which has benches nearby for the adults to use while the kids are playing. There is parking out the wazoo here. Just not allowed overnight.

It's definitely out-of-the-way and you wouldn't know it was there unless you're looking for it. However the actual park once you are through the entrance and to the main crux of it is quite big and has a shocking number of sports facilities ranging from fields for football and soccer to tennis courts to a golf course. It is very much intertwined with the nature around it but also clear and organized enough so you feel you aren't just in the woods. There are a scattered number of parking lots that may be good for normal capacity but I feel for big games on the fields/facilities it may get packed quickly.

Unfortunately I remember the azaleas very differently as a child as many others do as well.

Still, the owner shows up every day with her two elderly dogs that seem to gain no enjoyment from the park although the rules clearly state that aggressive dogs aren't allowed. She does have a shock collar for Willie, but is always too busy socializing to pay attention to her dog, and in my opinion, if you need that type of device to keep your dog in line, maybe the dog park is t the best place for it. Anyway, I've mostly given up on bringing my dog here because people are continually bringing aggressive dogs here against the rules. Buncha jerks.

There is so much to explore here and offers something for every level of stepper. Whether you're looking for an intense hike or just a leisurely stroll, this is a great spot to be. The park has multiple entrances and different access points which would make multiple visits here still feel fresh. The park is very hilly and has a lot of inclines so keep that in mind. Once you get down to the park you'll be greeted by the lake trail where you can walk in a loop around the stunning lake. You can also do catch and release fishing here which I saw multiple people doing. While the lake trail is paved, this park also has a variety of cobblestone and natural trails as well. The walks are pretty shaded and all have stunning views of either greenery or some water component. This is a great walking spot if you're wanting to really dive into nature and experience some stunning views. This is definitely a more mild intensity walk mainly because of the inclines, they also have stair entrances to get on the trail as well. There were quite a few people on the trail, consisting of families, groups and even solo walkers. Despite its almost secluded nature this park felt relatively safe with the amount of people present. You may want a trail buddy if veering into the natural trails but the paved lake loop was pretty open making it feel safe for solo walkers. Overall, with its variety of entrances, views, and the moderate challenge, this park is a great choice for regular walkers and nature lovers!

It is well positioned within walking distance of the county library, the YMCA, and the soccer fields. It boasts lovely walking trails, a frisbee golf course (which while usable could use some TLC), a lovely little creek with a charming covered bridge to cross it, and a multi-tiered playground which is among my favorite playgrounds in the surrounding counties because of it's lovely rural setting, its shade from the tree coverage, its new playground equipment, and its easy proximity to the creek area. We have an easy time navigating with a range of kids. Parents can position themselves between the playground where the younger kids can play, and the creek where the more nature-oriented kids want to explore, while it's safe enough for the teens to venture up to the library or to hike through the network of easily navigable trails. There are two covered picnic areas with grills. There are benches at the playground areas. In a delightfully educationally inspired move, the gardens and forests closest to the playgrounds and trails have their flora labeled so you can learn about the plants in the area. There is a texture garden near the parking lot with plants designed to touch and feel. One of the trails is an exercise trail with equipment stations for pull-ups, balance beam, and other outdoor workouts. Just a delightful spot right where you'd least expect it.
