Nice park to bring your kids. For me I like to disc golf and they just added a 9 hole course. It’s a decent course. Nothing to special.
The trees were very colorful at this park.
Nice park with multiple baseball fields, a good size disc golfing course, and playgrounds. There are bathrooms and a nice sized pavilion with bench tables. I also saw a few grill cookers around. Plenty of parking.
