Good facilities. They just finished a completely new playground by the basketball court and bathrooms/covered patio area, added 6 Pickle ball courts at the expense of a few of the tennis courts (both the Pickle ball and tennis courts are lighted), has a couple small lakes with benches, a few gazebos, 3 well maintained baseball fields with bleachers and dugouts, a soccer field and plenty of parking. Adjacent to the Macarthur elementary school so there is another playground to go to. Plus there is ANOTHER small playground just past the tennis courts right next to the main lake which is (hopefully) open during the winter months for "at your own risk" iceskating, though usually the "No ice use" flag is up. The lakes offer ok fishing. I'm fairly sure that you can hook a bass or bluegill without too much trouble.

The soccer field was full of several hundred geese but we weren't there to use it, anyway. Dog owners don't seem interested in picking up after their pets. People don't seem to realize that dog feces is worse than goose feces =( Had beautiful views of the water and several play areas for both toddlers and kids 5-12. Great place to go for a bike ride or walk around the water, even if you have a stroller since it's paved. Just wish there were a couple more trash cans around the walking path, maybe some picnic tables closer to the largest playground, and possibly some free dog bags (like some parks have) to encourage owners to pick up...
Read moreSince I last wrote this review, this has become a frequent go to place for my morning walks / runs. Love the neighborhood, and facilities and enjoy seeing the ecosystem of plants and animals around the large waterbodies in the area.
(earlier review) While this is not my go-to park for walks, it's conveniently located off Higgins Rd and offers a reasonably long walking trail path. Lots of playground facilities including baseball fields, tennis and pickle ball...
