This is such a peaceful spot. It has a few benches by the lake to take in the beautiful scenery, and the grounds are well maintained. As far as the playground equipment, it's definitely made for bigger kids, but the open field right next to it is perfect for littles to play. I believe Soccer shots also meets up here. There is also a basketball half court and some picnic tables. Overall, a lovely little neighborhood park.

It's quite calming. I love looking at the water. Watching the kids play people walking through just to take a few shots at the basketball hoop. If you just need a quick place to go just to clear your thoughts, I would recommend this part. They have a heel that you can roll down a porta potty out. There only been in it once it was clean. I do get worried when I see people go in and they're in there for a while cuz I just feel they going to make a mess a sitting area. A small playground. It's in a pretty decent area. It does kind of flood out close to the street where you're turning in if rain is heavy but other than that I like it and I would recommend going. I was proposed to out there

Nice stop to play on a sunny day! The equipment is better for bigger kids, maybe ages 4 and up. The park is right on the edge of the Parkwood lake, so check out the ducks while you're there!

I went with my 5 and 3 year olds. They liked it, but it wasn't their favorite. The play structures are not super fancy, but they do have some uniqueness to them that gives a good flare to the park (barrel/log run, zip line, gymnastics bars). The lake is fun to go see, too, but I wouldn't trust my younger kids around the water. All in all it was a fun time. I think I would have given a better rating if it hadn't rained earlier that day. The mud and slosh was pretty messy and hindered some running around.
