Heardmont Park

A favorite park of mine. I enjoy walking and being in such a well-kept and friendly neighborly park. Always something new to notice with the grounds and remnants of the past.

I think it is a nice park. I was there only to play pickleball. The courts are nice. Pickleball players are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you to all the pickleball players that showed up July 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the mornings.

The playground equipment states that it is for five to twelve year olds, which seems to be reasonable. However, closer supervision should be used with younger children because there are no fences. The back side opens into a partially cleared wooded area with many small boulders on which to climb. They are mostly three feet or less tall. Past those is a wooded area that I didn't go into. I don't know if there are trails, but if there are, they are probably from kids playing, not by design. The road nearest to the playground didn't have much traffic. It probably wasn't a through road.

All of the slides faced the sun when I was there, late morning, so the surfaces were too hot for use without long pants. That was a problem with the swings, too.

This is a lovely park with playground, trails (walking and biking), pickle ball courts, tennis courts, fields, and restrooms. There is a beautiful creek that winds through the park, with ample shaded picnic tables. I love coming here to eat lunch on a nice day or go for a walk or jog.

**edited to add that you have to walk a long way to get to the fields in the back like H4. Also, take the bridges as some spots Are full of water and they are slick! We love heardmont. The bathrooms are great! There’s a ton of room to spread out and exercise. There’s a playground, concession stands, the area gets flooded a good bit when it rains. The batting cages are primarily used for practice with the different teams there but we manage to sneak some time in them in between. This still isn’t Mayberry so watch your kids people! There are general repairs that need to be done with boards that come up on bridges and etc so use caution when walking, riding, or your kids are using their scooters. Also, as far as games go, there are a few ways to get into the park and there’s help for people who are handicapped or elderly to get to the back of the ballfields.
