Beautiful family park. They keep this park really clean and the duck will come right up around you when you go down by the bank. If you like to walk the trail is amazing and clean most of it is shaded. There's a lot of grass to have picnics and the playground has a spinner on it that all the kids seem to love the people in the area seem to be very very friendly I would definitely recommend going here. The only thing I wish is that you could swim there

Lovely park and community fishing pond! Walking path around the pond, picnic tables, playground, and grassy areas. Just wanting more shade and does that busy with fishers in the evening.

This is an over all nice park, but the neighborhood/park has seen violence in the past. I went in the day, and was lucky it wasn't crowded. Since there are soccer fields as well as baseball, it can get crowded very quickly and there isn't enough parking if there are youth sports happening. As there is also a lake with boat access and fishing, state license required, it can have too much traffic in a small place. As it gets dark, be watchful, it seems peaceful, but crime it is a high crime rate.

Great park! Fishing lake (there are signs that say not to swim), ramadas with grills, clean bathrooms. Lots of birds to watch. You can access the ramadas easily from the parking areas, but there's also a trail around the lake with slightly steep hills if you want a challenging little walk.

Does this park offer Sports for children? If so, is there a flate rate for all participants or is there an opinion for income based for eligible families?

No ma'am or sir, the stadium (if you can call it that) you see is for rent only, so if you want you can see and place your kids in a sports club where the club rents that place😊

Traveling thru, do i need a state fishing liscence??
