“The mulch could be maintained a little better and more clean but otherwise a pleasant experience!”

What parents say

Very nice park. Several well maintained sports fields. Friendly, welcoming staff. Drive through Christmas lights show is set up and ready for viewing. Went here to do some walking. Walked along the park roads as there is not a dedicated walking/jogging path. Maybe one day soon. There is also a frisbee golf course.

Nice park!!! Always clean.. no dog park but there is plenty of space to let your dog run

★★★★★ — Susan, Jun 2023

Its a great place to walk, to take your family, to enjoy nature. The guys who work there to maintain it do their best every day to keep it safe and clean. Bathrooms do need to be updated but they serve their purpose. It does flood if it rains too much at once but the water does go back down quickly.

★★★★☆ — Bobbie, Sep 2022

Great park to stop at off of I65 heading South. We stopped here to let our 2 & 4 year old get their energy out & explore. The playground was nice. The creek was very cool. Would recommend if you need somewhere on the way down to the southern states!
