The park features more than a dozen horseshoe pitches and abuts the Interstate. There is parking available and several sets of bleachers for spectators. A small picnic shelter has a couple of picnic tables and a grill area. In 1983, the park was named after local citizen Jack Henderson Springer (1917-1991) who was active in local civics and youth programs. This park has been host to the World Horseshoe Tournament in 1979 and 1983. [Review 14628 overall, 128 of 2021, number 2807 in North Carolina.]

Quick Summary - Collegiate level baseball team that…read moreparticipates in the Blue Ridge League - The Davie Crocketts play at Mando Field located in Rich Park (Mocksville) - You can buy tickets online or at the gate (schedule is online) - Tickets are general admission - Most of the seating is bench seats, but you can bring a lawn chair and sit elsewhere - The concession stand sells soft drinks and small selection of snacks - There was a food truck outside the gate, which apparently they allow you to walk in and out of as long as you have a ticket. - THEY SELL CANNED BEER!!!! This was a very pleasant surprise to me. Long Review I have been seeing the flags hanging on the light poles in downtown Mocksville advertising the Davie Crocketts baseball team. I thought, Mocksville has a minor league team? Well, it's a collegiate level team, according to their web site. Don't come here expecting the same experience you get at a Dash game. It's more baseball and with no fun stuff between innings. Tickets were only $9 so I thought, what the heck. As stated above, you can buy the tickets at their web site or at the gate. They email you the tickets and accepted the digital copy on my phone when I arrived. Nobody scanned the ticket. At the beginning of the game, the announcer welcomed us to "historic" Mando field. Well, okay, but just because it is old doesn't make it historic. The benches get uncomfortable after a few innings, and shook every time someone moved or sat down. The game I went to was a 6:30 PM start, and the sun was a little unbearable from the main seating area. The seats face west so you have the sun in your eyes while trying to watch the game. There are a few spots to sit where you can avoid it. The product on the field was okay. The Davie Crocketts were very aggressive at bat which resulting in a lot of hits and runs. Their competition, the Hungry Mothers (I am not making this up), were not great. Lots of missed infield plays resulting in errors. Of course I don't remember how many errors the Hungry Mothers had because the scoreboard was partially malfunctioning. The Runs, Outs and Errors lights were not working. Is this a Yelp 5 Star product? No, but I really want the Davie Crocketts to do well, plus they exceeded my expectations with having beer for sell. No draft but canned beer, including a Fiddling Fish option.

I've been to dozens of different PF clubs in the US and Canada - this is the first time I've been to one that has a completely private shower room. It is a smaller gym, for sure. Easy enough to change and store my stuff, I spent a bit of time on one of the treadmills and watched some news before I did some arms and upper body before showering and changing back into street clothes. I've been to a shower at the Love's Travel Stop - it's the same sort of thing here. Close and lock the door behind you and you have a private space with toilet, sink and shower. I felt completely secure and that was nice. [Review 596 of 2026 - 4685 in North Carolina - 25777 overall]

It's actually pretty…read morecool that there is something like this at this location where you don't have to drive out very far. That said, it's nothing incredibly fancy but it does the job. On that note, basically it is a very nice simple location with adequate facilities and reasonable prices. It's definitely not as fancy as you might get somewhere else, but it's not trying to be. So if you're just looking for a place to go practice your swing, this is great. Relaxed atmosphere and a little bit of quiet without driving to a country club is great. They also have a simple mini golf section. It's really definitely not their main feature. And in the offseason times like Fall, you probably won't be seeing it cleaned much, so expect leaves on the course. That said, it's kind of like a seasonal Hazard that changes up if you think of it that way. You can tell people mostly come for the practice range. But on a plus side the lack of crowding means you would have a lot of fun with kids. And unlike other mini golf areas nearby, you don't have to contend with being quite as noisy. There isn't a lot of traffic on the nearby Road and you actually are set off well enough with trees to make it feel a little more easy-going.
