They had alcohol for sale inside the venue plus a food truck to get dinner. It was pretty crowded which was nice to see. They have bathrooms inside which is another plus. Definitely something that people should check out. They have a show every Thursday night this summer.

I always go here for the pathway and to ride my bike. The pathway is 2 miles long with a golf park,…read moreplay ground and mini water park for kids for the summer. There are a lot of shelters for parties, volleyball nets and good parking. It's good for pets as well. People come here all year long and it's fairly relaxing. There are a few entrances 1) near the golfing center and 2) roughly near the volleyball nets 3) one off the pathway that leads to a nearby neighborhood. There is also this random pathway that is also right off the pathway but I do not know where that leads to. Nonetheless, you can travel up there with the exception of motor vehicles. It's also surrounded by a nearby busy intersection which really doesn't interfere with anything. Just a surrounding area. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes the outdoors.

There is a lot of room to spread out your bean bag games and have a water balloon toss. They even have a ball field if your group wants to hit the ball around. The covered pavilion fits about a dozen picnic tables to have a place for everyone to sit and eat, and stay out of the sun or rain. They also provide a large built in barbeque stand at the pavilion. There are basketball courts for those that wish to play, and a playground for the young kids to have something to do while the oldsters just catch up. There is also a large building when you enter the park where they have restrooms (very clean with soap and dryers), vending machines, and water fountains. This is really a nice park and is well maintained and kept up. Give it a try.

They also have a lot of picnic tables to sit at and a covered seating area if you are coming with a large group of people. Currently they are redoing that area and it should be really nice when they are done. Redar park has a lot of events in the spring, summer and fall months. There is a lot to do with families for free so keep an eye open for advertising.

A huge, beautiful memorial, focusing on 20th century American wars and vets. Great landscaping…read morethat leads you along paths past tributes to vets from each era. Almost a combination art display and memorial. Plenty of historical information, plus commentary evoking the feelings and trauma. A war memorial isn't a celebration of war, but a remembrance of the struggle, loss, and sacrifice. This one, more than most, evokes the horrors- it's a beautiful place, but parts are jarring. I might not bring kids here till they are old enough to understand history and war fairly well- some of the sculptures are fairly vivid. I could also see a vet having flashbacks- for example, from the Huey helicopter landing (crashing?) into reeds, the sculpture of a soldier near a dead comrade, etc. Definitely not whitewashed history.

It demands a certain respect to be shown to our citizens and military members. I thank each and every service member for the sacrifices they have made, some gave their lives so that we may live ours in happy, blissful ignorance of the threats to our livelihood. Because of those brave souls we have freedoms most other nations citizens could only dream about! We are lucky to be part of such a great nation, truly we are. On to the review though, This place is very well maintained, clean and a real joy to walk through. The brickwork on the paths is beautifully laid and has a certain elegance to it. Plenty of benches for you to sit on and think or relax. Night lighting could be better, the exhibits are lit well however, the path could benefit from a wee bit more. I do like the fact that the flag is ALWAYS in good repair, nothing pisses me off more than a tattered flag. I'd definitely recommend stopping by to see it a least once.

When you pass under Rt.30 there is a way to get to a running store (name escapes me right now) and even a mexican restaurant and pizza place. So if you walk or run like crazy and need a drink or some grub it is there! The place is ideal for kids because it's a short trail and is near Reeder Park that has a good playground! In the summer on Thursdays there's a farmer's market and other fun events. I live close so I use this trail a lot. You can walk, rollerblade, run, bike, walk your dog (limited to the trail, pick up poop!! They have some spots with baggies) and even someone in a wheelchair can use this... Skateboards are allowed too! It's clean and well maintained.

The playground is a hit with kids (my nephews seemed to really like it), it has a lot of room to play catch (nephews did that too), and the tank can't be beat! Really cool memorial around the tank too. There are huge oak trees covering the park, and they provide a ton of shade in the summer so it's a nice place to be. Last time I was here, they were setting up for a blues festival. I'd like to experience that sometime. Perfect venue for events like that. I was surprised to see a lot of people playing volleyball on the sand courts, but there they were! My husband grew up here and took care of that park in his youth so it's always fun to visit when we're in the area.

Not bad, it does get pretty dusty because there is a serious lack of grass at the dog run…read more The dog run is a nice fenced in area directly off US 41 and there is parking available either on location or you can park at the Wicker Park Golf Course and use the running path to get there. The park is busiest (and most fun) on saturday mornings when there are plenty of dog lovin' people around. Do bring some water for your pooch because I've looked and looked, but couldn't find a fauces, fountain or spigot anywhere. Considering how few off leash dog runs are in this area, I'll be coming back from time to time.
