This park has a lot of fun options for kids of different ages. We like the variety and that they have restrooms beside the park. There’s normally a Kona ice truck around too, if your kids like that. We don’t come here often because it’s always pretty crowded and parking is impossible. There are nice walking trails near the park (across from the tennis courts). There’s plenty of picnic tables too!

I appreciate the fact that this park has fun things for kids of all ages. It has interesting and unique climbing structures as well as a toddler area. I like that it has a swing for an adult or older child to ride along with a little one. Overall, this is a really nice playground.

Great place to bring the kiddos. I like that the area for the kids is fenced off so you can better keep track of them. There are plenty of slides, climbing climbing areas, swings et cetera and a good mix for children of all ages. It was a bit crowded for a Thursday night for me but still enjoyable. My only complaint was that there were a few damaged or broken slides that were only blocked off with a makeshift construction fence.

We are from Iowa, visiting our Tennessee family when they suggested this park. We had a picnic while our son played. I love that there was one entrance with a fence all the way around, which was a good thing bc this playground was huge and very popular (people and children everywhere). Wonderful hiking/biking trail.

It’s a nice park to take the kids for the size of it’s got a lot going on. Bigger kids play in this park so be aware of them running fast and playing rugged.
