Using the walking track. It is 1700' per lap and has an elevation change however minor. It is composed of gravel dust some packed and some areas loose. There are both serious walkers and some that seem to be passing the time. It is not crowded in the morning. There is a playground and softball field. Plenty of parking. FYI, half the track is shaded.
Nice clean park. Has a well maintained walking track. Also has a basketball and tennis court.
Great place to walk around, gi for a casual bike ride, shoot some hoops, play some tennis, swing on the swings or play on the playground, and of course play Baseball or softball. Its also got a great spot for a large group picnic with a sand volleyball court near by.
The playground: the equipment is nice and new. I really think the nest swing is cool. I am a bit confused as to why they chose to put so much concrete between the play structures and so much landscaping in and around the play area. It means very structured play & the kids can't really run around. Play is limited to the play equipment only. No safely playing tag, duck duck goose, running from one piece of equipment to the next because of the concrete & of course the kids are drawn to nature (the landscaping) which is mixed right into the area & of course they can't play in it - there are many signs saying so. I joked to family that it's definitely an adults idea of what a play area is supposed to look like.
Overall, nice park and equipment but it's not the "go have fun" experience I expected when I first arrived.
Meticulously groomed baseball/ softball fields. A nice walking/running path. Looked like there was basketball courts and other amenities as well.
