Thompson Family Park

Chris Shay

The travel soccer fields are among the best in the state. Park hours: 6am - 8:30pm Front Fields - enter the parking lot by taking the first left after pulling into the park. Back Fields - stay to the right, follow the winding narrow roadway, over several speed humps down to the lower parking lot. Both sets of fields are illuminated at night during play & practice. Play on the fields is by permit only. Despite that, there are a number of other attractions at this park, for young & old alike. There are walking trails with exercise stations, two well-maintained playground areas, with two, full-sized tennis courts, two full basketball courts, one full-sized beach volleyball court, multiple water fountains, 2 permanent club buildings - housing the bathrooms, & concession stands (hours vary with weather & game schedules). By the Back Fields playground area, there is a large, fenced-in dog park where dogs can meet & mingle with other dogs. There is even a separate, small breed, fenced in area as well. My favorite part of the park has to be the bird habitat sanctuary. Watching the swallows in spring as they glide through and ride on the wind, swooping into and popping out of their bird houses, spaced along the walking trail, is just amazing to see. In my years coming here, I have seen deer, rabbits, groundhogs, many types of birds - including birds of prey, frogs, a turtle, & lots of interesting insects. I have to give the park credit. It is ALWAYS clean. The only "litter" I see are things kids forgot, for instance: a practice shirt, a soccer ball in the bushes, etc. Someone will eventually claim these items. There are several dog baggie dispensers, and trash cans dotted throughout the park along the walking path. There are also TWO conveniently located, CLEAN & MAINTAINED, INDOOR RESTROOMS in the park. One in the at the "front fields", near the tennis courts, & one near the "back fields" parking lot. Details like that really make travelling to a soccer game at a travel field a much more pleasant experience! (especially with young children, older siblings, pets, and / or grandparents in tow) When I'm walking next, I'll take pics of the buildings housing the bathrooms & include them in an update. I hope my review is helpful! Please enjoy Thompson Family Park! I like to acknowledge people as I pass them while walking in the park. So... that might be me who says 'good evening' to you, as chance or happenstance cause our paths to converge as we meet along our Life's journey. (｡•̀ᴗ•)
