To start, this park has amazing fields. There was a lot of thought and planning done from the player prospective. The baseball and soccer fields will be fantastic for the player. However, for the baseball fields, there was limited space incorporated for spectators. The only spectator area, which is right around the concession area, is extremely limited and there are no bleachers.

Hopefully you all can announce designated areas for kids to play without this unfortunate incident happening to anyone else. This was our first and last time...

This playground will get HOT in the warmer seasons as there is no shade cover and the ground is recycled materials. There was an attempt at covered benches for parents but they donât offer much shade. I would have given this five stars but the park isnât enclosed with a fence. I was a little surprised at the lack of swings or zip line. There is a structure for each age âup toâ 12. There are paved walkways throughout the entire park, ball parks, a concrete stage, and plenty of parking. Bring your skates, bikes, balls and more. The overall grounds ...
