Clean and open athletic fields made of Turf.
2 baseball diamonds that are well maintained
Am excellent picnic area with small playground and trails for folks to walk (paved and unpaved)
Fields are completely unshaded, and no benches, so bring chairs and shade of you'll be there awhile.

Great, well-kept park for a toddler or older! Been taking my nephew here every other week (sometimes more) for almost 6 months now (as of December 2023) and have never regretted it.

Love to come here and play tennis with my friends. The courts are really nice and there’s a lot of space. There’s also a lot of playground room and fields and trails for everyone to enjoy.

A nice little city park with some good family fun trails. Although tiny, the falls were fun to find and observe. Nice playground for kids and tennis courts for all! Recently added modern restroom facilities and a soccer field. Water fountain? Check!

Nice park. Soccer fields are pretty decent. We didn't use the baseball fields at all. The natural trails are pretty nice but a little treacherous in places because they're not technically built properl.y. Just watch your step in a few places maybe even bring a hiking stick if you have them.

A very nice park - tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, playground and trails. We took the longest trail (about 40 min) that was a loop. Not difficult, a little rocky and rooted but manageable. Well traveled and well marked.
To start on the longest trail (purple/yellow) - from the trail board near the picnic tables- stand at the trail board, the path can not be seen, but is straight ahead and to the right. It runs along the baseball field and starts out paved, then a narrow entrance begins the purple/yellow trail.

Great location and beautiful setting. The park has fantastic amenities. The soccer fields outstanding, wish well maintained nets and floodlit fields. The baseball fields and nicely situated and and also well maintained. Very cool park for kids with plenty to do. Nice paved walking trails, and tons of available parking even during soccer tournaments. Nice sheltered picnic table areas and clean restrooms. Great spot!

By far my favorite park to take my dogs for walks. There's a nice playground and amazing walking trails. The trail is not paved and can be a bit steep so it may be difficult for those with mobility issues.

My dogs and I LOVE this place. You almost forget you're in town because the nature is so beautiful. There is almost always someone at the park which is nice but it never feels crowded. The bathrooms have always been clean as well.

I will offer a note of warning for dog owners: there are frequently large groups of children/families gathering at the park. This is great, however there have been many times I have had children run after me and my dogs and begin playing with them without asking. As someone with a nervous dog, it's very concerning and I've had to physically pick up my dog and walk away before when children wouldn't stop petting/chasing when I asked. You have to walk past the playground to get to the walking trails so be aware of that if you have a dog that is people shy/people aggressive.
