Reviews
Cool place.Day use only.Should allow camping.
Excellent local sports park with plenty to all year long. Respect the Locals and their culture and the place they call home.
It is a park – has stone/cement tables that are nice, & it’s kept clean, but that’s about it. The pictures are a bit deceiving.
The park itself is 3/5 (not much there, feels kinda run-down). But the namesake of the park was a 8/5. Seriously, look him up.
Maurice Hilleman is the godfather of vaccines. He created 8 of the 14 routinely recommended vaccines, and assisted with over 30 others. It boggles my mind that the city doesn’t even bother to put up a plaque in his honor, but oh well!
