This is a great disc golf course that does present a challenge, but can also be completed over a lunch hour.

Small park 4 fields, no concession stand, Fields are nice. No electric in the park. Contractor sells T shirts and runs a generator the whole time tournaments are going on right in the middle of all 4 fields. Lots of exhaust and bothersome noise. Sounds like someone is running a lawnmower while your trying to watch your kids and talk with other parents. I felt a little dizzy being so close to the exhaust and down wind. I mentioned it to someone involved in the park and they told me to move. Our kids pay good money for our grandkids to play. JS

Great little park here for kiddos-- love the open top tunnel and all of the slide selections. He also had fun riding the dinosaur and airplane!

The softball fields are pretty basic. The park only recently got bathrooms, but they are aways away from the fields. No concession stand. Instead, they have a food truck with overpriced, mediocre food, with a very rude proprietor. Families here with several kids can't afford it. Also, they allowed a vendor with a generator to set up between all the fields. Between the constant noise of it and the gas fumes, it made for a very unpleasant experience.

Nice park. They only have Porta potties available for bathrooms and no concussion stand. But as long as you're prepared it is a nice park. They did have a food truck come to the parking lot as well during games.
