Twin Hills Park — Attraction in Crestview

So normally I love this park.. Butt on this trip it was very unpleasent. So we decided to go for a walk with the kids before going to work. My 2 year old have a hold of the keys with her while in her stroller we walk up to the dock and she wants to get out to look at the turtles in the turtles in the water with her sister. So my husband lets her out of the stroller and neither of us realize that she's holding onto the keys. Next thing I know she put the keys down on the dock and she shuffling her feet so before I can reach down to pick them up I watch her tiny foot kick them straight into the water at the end of the dock. This is when my heart hit my stomach and I felt like I was about to puke. See my car is a push to start and we only have one set of keys so without this key it would cost me $250 to have someone come out and unlock the car and then reprogram it to a new fob. I called several places for this price while pacing up and down the dock. So I decided that while I was waiting I would try to call my ex and see if he could bring his scuba diving mask. Luckily he answered the phone and brought the mask and a towel so I could try to go in and get it I tried walking along the dock to the end and my feet and brand new shoes for sinking in and I couldn't go any further. Next my ex goes in and try to get to the bottom but can't see anything and has anxiety so he has to stop trying. So finally my husband climbs over the railing and just jumps off the end of the dock. At home he can't find anything sitting on a flat surface directly in front of his face so I had absolutely no hope that he would find the key. I directed him to exactly where I saw the keys go in and after just two or three times trying he finds them. Even though the keys were in the water for quite some time the fob still work and we were able to...

Twin Hills Park holds a lot of memories for me and my family. There have been so many changes to the park and many other parts of the area. This park is handicap accessable!! I was last here at dusk and dark so that is why the photos are dark. They have two sides. The side by the college area has a walking path around it with a gazebo to walk out and view the pond. It may have a play area for children but I am not sure on that. It does have a pavilion to host parties or social gatherings at. Now on the other side of the road they have a pond, dog park, game fields, and a park. The pond is pretty neat complete with a poorly lit bridge they could do so much better with. People do fish in the pond. There are many many many ducks around both ponds! The children love to feed them! At the childrens park it is one big splash pad in the summer and a huge hit with many places for social gatherings. Pavilion's are plentiful and swings are just up the hill by the slighty wooded area. There are not lights up by the bigger swings! I have posted photos of the park. There are two game fields and basketball and tennis courts to play on. The trains cross right behind the park management building. The seats for football and soccer games are concrete, so bring a padded chair or blanket! The dog park is fairly new. It has a training/agility area on both sides. There is a shaded area to sit at as well. These are my favorite parks to bring my children to at any time. We will definitely be back plus it is free!! Has plenty of...

If you're new to the area, I suggest you check it out. Just drive around the park and look around. If you want to relax or bring the kids to play you can't find a better place. Lots of things to do. Moms or dads bring the whole family. Lots of parking. Bring a little bread and feed the ducks. Just don't be mean to them, they love visitors. You hopefully will see the little ducks following their mom and learning the art of swimming. I know at one time fishing was allowed. You just have to check. There has been a kids fishing contest before. It was great. If you want to sign the kids up for sports just check at the gym located on Southwest corner. There is a playground with water features. Don't forget the family dog because there is a great fenced in Dog Park. Has a water Park and Dog Park. All kinds of sports like football field, basketball gym, volleyball courts all kinds. Also has a safe walking trail around the lake (Paved). Park and walk around the East lake. Actually has two lakes. Both sides of the park has benches and povillions for those special occasions. Great place for a family reunion and sports. All kinds of ball teams to join. Great place and a hidden gem in the heart of Crestview. You can also see the ducks swimming around the lakes. It has a walkway across one of the lakes. Fireworks are great here on certain holidays....
