Was my first time there but was a really fun experience! It was big enough where everyone has their own space and you don't feel crowded. We were actually able to do a bible study with some friends without being distracted and having people loud and around us. Really enjoyed my time there. Definitely a good place to go if you have a big group of people and need a lot of space.

There are basketball courts, volleyball, tennis courts, and soccer fields. You can miniature golf at Miner Mikes and there is a little concession stand. Also, there is softball/baseball fields. The thing I enjoy most is the 1.2 mile walking/running/bike path around the whole park.

Easy access from Butterfield & Route 53. Enter on Route 53, across from Walmart and McDonalds. There are few trees to buffer the wind, so dress warmly. Lots of dogs on the trail today. Watch your step, as not every dog-owner tidies up after their dog, but the trail is mostly clear of droppings.

It was a nice escape getaway from the city life. An ideal and nice place to relax and collet your inner thoughts. While walking along the trails everyone was so friendly and welcoming. It was a breath of fresh air to be out in nature. A perfect place to jog,kayak, fish, hike, have a picnic or just come and take a scroll. Not crowded and everyone social distances themselves. I came across a few people walking with their dogs. All dogs MUST be on a lease. Really enjoyed the scenery and the water from the river and lake was calming and peaceful.

A mom-of-two's (a toddler and preschooler) straight-forward review -…read more Pros: 1) There are two sections - one for younger children with a ginormous boat equipped with small slides and one for older children with zipline, climbing cargo nets, swings, and steep slides. 2) The playground is tucked away in a residential area and was not crowded or busy during our visit. 3) Space is vast with plenty of room for children to run about and expense their energy. Cons: 1) It's hard to find a single complaint...but I guess if I had to name one, there are plenty of parking but they are not close to the playground. Then again, the purpose to visit a playground isn't merely for children to have fun, but it is also an opportunity for adults to collect vitamin D and log some steps!

There were many toys that made noises, rocking horses, a large green dome with holes, and a smaller playground with slides. They are still fundraising to build a playground for children 5-12 years old. Once that playground is built I'm sure it will be even more of a hit for families. That said there are features that the 5-12 year olds will like! Two large slides, an obstacle to climb on, and a glider swing. There are also several walking trails. My son loved this park! We will definitely be back.

Plenty of spots for strollers and they have larger porta potti's. There are two playgrounds that are for older kids that I wouldn't recommend for kids 3 and under but everything else the younger kids can do.
