Depending on the day and time it can either be super crowded and over run with cursing children without adults. We almost witnessed 9 years olds getting into a physical fight.

I LOVE Panther Creek & have come here many, many times. They have amazing nature trails that you…read morecan walk, which I have done on many occasions with friends. They also have a great spray park & playground equipment that my kids love. They hold many different events here, including fireworks around Independence Day. Only drawback is the place is packed whenever they have something going on, & it will take forever to find a parking spot or even to drive through. But it is nice that they hold quite a few free events. They also have shelters that you can rent out for a pretty decent price for parties or whatever type of event you would like to hold.

They also have a small water feature with spray jets for kids in the summertime. They have also added a small section with fitness & workout equipment as well. Park has a walking trail around the entire park, two basketball courts, bathroom, water fountains, & shelters you can rent out for parties or events. They also light the entire park with Christmas lights during the holiday season. Multiple small parking lots are located around the park to provide plenty of room for parking.

Taking up two city blocks, the Rotary Playground has two separate playgrounds, a splashpad (closed…read morefor the season), a big open space and a restrooms building. Street parking surrounds on three sides. The first playground is massive with a huge wooden frame and lots of space for running, climbing and multiple slides. It is entirely surrounded by a low fence with a single entrance/exit. Awesome for keeping the little ones from possibly wandering off. The splashpad is also fenced in and includes a few benches for the adults to hang out. It is opened during the season (May to October?) and is closed now. Third playground has swings and a tall slide and some other climbing equipment. It is on a mulch base that is ideal for the little ones who do tend to fall down a lot.

This is a beautiful, relatively new addition to the area. Great little walking trails -- 3 small…read moreloops that can combine to a 1.25 mile large loop -- with some minor elevation changes but nothing major. A nice outdoor amphitheater for summer events, plus an indoor event center on the grounds. On my last visit, they were setting up for an outdoor wedding behind the event center - couldn't go inside to see that of course, but looked very nice. Playground is in the center of the middle trail, if you just want to drop off the kids you'll want to hang a left and go up the hill to park. Wasn't very crowded on my Saturday morning walk either, which is a great perk. Close to civilization, but tucked away behind a neighborhood so a nice little escape. Highly recommended if you're in the area and need a place to walk or take the kids to play. Also - the bathrooms here are PRISTINE for being outdoor park bathrooms. Seriously impressed.

The park was renovated by the local Jaycees and partners back in 1985. There is a large paved parking lot next to the park which can easily hold the visitors to the area. The playground features numerous slides and has swings and some climbing structures. The pool is fenced and has a waterslide. The basketball goals are on the east side of the pool structure so they are separated from the playground area. Review #3200

I think this park mostly revolves around the baseball / softball field -- there's is a snack bar that wasn't open when we were there, but I'm sure it's open when there's a game. There's also a basketball court, soccer field, walking trails and a pavilion. The restrooms were open when we visited, and they were relatively clean.
