Douglas Park — Attraction in Headland

Both of my kids started right around 8-10 years ago playing Soft/Base Ball, Soccere Games, etc. @this Recreation Park. I also played on these same fields many, many, many years ago.

Luckily I was there early so I got a...

There are trash cans provided in the playground area as well as the ball parks, but I guess if the visitors don't throw their trash away the groundskeeper won't bother...
