So much shade! The playground is split in half. One side is great for under 5, and the other is more obstacles with climbing structures, balance and rope items, a large slide, etc. There is a pavilion with picnic tables, trash cans, and ample parking. Public restrooms were surprisingly clean!
Been about 10 years since my son played there...the field still needs work, as it is not level, grass is not cut, the mound is not graded properly, and it is dusty...the lights work well for night games...and I will watch my nephew play there for the summer and fall 2023...I hope nobody gets hurt... Playground: Kiddie playground is very closely. Restrooms: A walk away from the ball fields to the bathrooms... Picnic area: Nice picnic areas away from the ball fields...
Cute park! Clean Restrooms. My kids had a blast playing in the field, and then on the playground. Perfect place for a pit stop when driving through town if you have kiddos.
Seemed like a fine place to have the kids play for a little bit. Not crazy crowded but doesn't have a lot of parking. We were there for a soccer game.
Very short hike and not much to see other than stone bridge. Poorly kept which was surprising considering the size of the park. Public restrooms are on site.
This is a great semi-hidden park right off the bike trails next to RT 197. Have biked our son here many times, always plenty of space to run around and play until he's exhausted. Nearby walking trails, pond, ballfield, and bathrooms.
Well kept basketball and tennis courts. Plenty of playground and field space. A one stop shop for outdoor play.
Great they have baseball yard, tennis court, kids playground, basketball and fútbol field.
Nice convenient location clean just wish they would dedicated pickleball courts there. Restrooms: The bathrooms need paper and sanitizer and soap
Lined tennis courts for pickleball or tennis are available. LIGHTS!
