Unlike some of the parks around here, shade is not in short supply. There are plenty of places to walk without being in direct sunlight. As for the amenities, definitely a park geared towards sports. Basketball, handball, tennis, shuffleboard, horse shoes, a sand volleyball court, bocce, a shaded playground as well as a shared football/soccer field. The horseshoe pits looked a little beaten but the other facilities all look well maintained. There's even a concession stand but I can only say that it is there but no details on what it sells besides pre-packaged ice cream treats.
Don't bother if you're looking or a park with a lake. It is little more than an overgrown retention pond the level is so low. In fact, you can see a number of houses in the surrounding area with elevated 'porches' which are really just docks that are sticking up out of what used to be a lake but the water has receded down and away so far that it is comical.
Parking can get crowded on days when it hosts events but usually finding a spot...
Read moreIf you love the beautiful trees in the park, let’s stop the county from allowing these builders from not following our County Ordinances including the County allowing it. The subdivision of SpringHill is getting infilled with many of the vacant lots being stripped with no regard to our County Ordinances. If you want to preserve our beautiful landscaping then please speak up. Write the County Commissioners and ask them to follow the guidelines given to them to preserve our County! If you’re interested in the Ordinance go to the Hernando County website, look up ordinances, go to Chapter 10 Community Appearance, and read sections 10–22 through 10-36. Then, ask why our county is allowing our natural habitat to be stripped of natural habitation and replaced with sticks of trees. Also, ask yourself where the wildlife is going including our...
Read moreThis park used to be good, about ten years or so ago. I understand they are in the process of cleaning it up and all, but, the playground is lacking. They need better lighting on the walking path, as, once it gets dark I wouldn't dare walk the whole length for fear of being jumped. This park has had it share of people having run ins with the law. I feel they need to enact more safety features as well. One particular visit, the lighting was so bad, while walking through the grass, I didn't notice "holes" in the lawn. I wound up falling down hard on my knee. I already have bad knees so I couldn't walk right for days. They should've had it blocked off with that terrain being as bad as it was. This park is about a 15 minute walk from my home, so, it's convenient to go to. Hopefully, once they're finished renovating it'll be safer...
