Great park. Walking trail, kids sports events and a small playground for the kids to enjoy. There are restrooms but they are not always open. The park is dog friendly. Make sure you clean up after you pet.
No indoor bathrooms even though they have a building with two bathrooms labeled. They have a snack bar but claim the township has a rule and those bathrooms are closed. We live in a developed country and there is indoor plumbing available but yet it’s not open. It makes no sense to me. I would not recommend it for soccer. I have two kids in soccer and I am dreading the games on Saturday because as a mom I need to use the bathroom a lot! I’m also pregnant to boot. There are other organizations and parks that have nice restrooms. I would look elsewhere.
I discovered this fine fine park while visiting the Pottstown area on Monday February 3, 2025. I really liked the walking track. I saw a few soccer fields and a baseball diamond. There is a children’s play area too. A few people were out on this rather mild winter day and I’m sure this park attracts a crowd in the summer. No tennis courts or pool were seen at this park. Plenty of parking.
I like this play ground. Not one of my favorites, but my son had a good time. It’s a basic playground, but not fenced in like most others around here, and it only has one jungle gym for all kids to play on, whereas most others have 2 options, one for older kids, and another for youngsters like my son. I do like the music stand for kids to play with, but that’s about it, there is not much for younger kids to do (3 and under)
I love this park! Mostly clean, might see a small amount of trash (bottles, wrappers, etc) but seems to be very well kept, grass is always cut down as well. I use it to exercise on the trail and it’s amazing, beautiful sights and lots of wild life (birds, rabbits, squirrels, and sometimes you’ll see a skunk and even a deer). I also like how they have trash cans and doggie bags throughout the trail as well as benches to rest or enjoy the view. Will come again!
