I've driven by this park quite a few times over the past year and always was impressed with how…read moreclean and cool looking it was. I finally had the time to stop in yesterday with my date and his kids to check the place out, and we both were pleasantly surprised with how much fun it was. For starters, the park is really well kept. Grass was cut, parking lot was clean and well maintained and all equipment was in good working order. After walking around for a bit, we both realized there was more to do then meets the eye from the road. There's plenty to do for both kids and adults. The one thing that drew my eye initially was the picture of the fire truck on the wall of the building they have right next to the parking lot. The park itself is named after a fire chief, thus, the fire truck theme going on here. They have tons of stuff to do here. They have a lovely covered pavilion with plenty of seating and well maintained picnic tables. They also have a play area for the kids, soccer fields, a horse shoe area, tennis courts and a sand volley ball area. They also had an area that appeared to be a Bocce Ball court, but no equipment to play the game. Also, there was a building with the fire truck painted on that I assume has bathrooms or a tribute area inside. I can't say for sure because the doors were locked and you couldn't see much through the doors. The only downfall to this park is no obvious place for bathrooms. I assume it's in the building but I cannot say for sure. I also saw a few adults walking with fishing poles and equipment. I guess you can go fishing around here as well. I believe there's hiking trails as well if your interested in that also. This park is a great addition to the community and everything about it was impressive. I am sure I will be back in the future!

The memorial future plan for the park looks good and is coming along at least. Two food trucks and an ice truck and a band too.

A shelter and seating for a small picnic. Chess table for such aficionados, frisbee launch areas and open field areas for v-ballers too, two sets of poles are available, though you need to bring your own net and balls, of course. I enjoy getting some carry out at whichever spot in the RO or vicinity and taking it back to the park to have an impromptu picnic. This is the same park that usually hosts the Shakespeare in the park every year, except this year. It's most tranquil by the dense trees since there are less clusters of people in those parts. :) Come and get a much needed respite from the house and enjoy a bit of nature with a picnic at this park and a bit away from the playground area, if you want some quiet and peace. Maybe bring a blanket to lay on the ground and carve out your own ideal spot.
