The kids enjoy park days! The walking trail is a nice way to get my walk in and allow them to ride their bikes as well. The only downfall is how it connects to the driveway and isn’t secluded from traffic. The play sets are decent considering we live in a small community.

We had my daughter's gender reveal there to rent the outside picnic shelter for the day it was only $25 which was very cheap. It's always so quiet and peaceful there and so beautiful anytime we have a family function this is where we usually try to have it at
