I love this park! I enjoy taking the kids here as it has a great playground and plenty of open space for them to ride their bikes or scooters. It’s also dog-friendly, which is a big plus for us, and there are well-maintained picnic areas for a nice family outing. The restrooms are clean and conveniently located, making it easy to spend a full day enjoying the outdoors. Overall, it’s a perfect spot for families looking for a fun and relaxing day out.

Nice local park for children and adults alike. Also a great place to take the dog on a walk. I park at the sports fields (free parking there) and walk on the loop around the park which goes through the farm and also a wooded area.

Fabulous, clean, animals well cared for. Our mistake not getting a map to know the trails and lay out. Loved seeing the babies (lamb, goats, chicks). Sno-ball truck 🎉 we don't have those in FL.

Really enjoyed taking the kids to this park. It's well kept and large with a lot of unique types of play equipment for the kids. I may have loved walking around and looking at the farm animals more than the kids did! There are bathrooms here too! Plenty of shade and benches as well.
