This place was so peaceful… you could literally here birds chirping you are surrounded by nature the play area looks like tree logs so it looks like the kids are playing on trees. We went there for Easter so plenty of trees to hide the eggs. It has plenty of trails to walk to very nice park.

Very lovely park! The trails are wonderful with a view of a little creek. Many birds, bugs(if that's your thing), a picnic table and 2 large saucer swings. There's also a tightrope situation and a small netted wall for kids to play on. It's more of a nature park then a play park, but still very nice.

Normally I'd remove a star for no bathrooms, but this place is amazing. There's a creek with stepping stones across it that our kids will happily play in for hours, there's tons of shaded areas, and nice log picnic tables, sadly it's frequented by people looking for a secluded spot to get drunk so there's a ton of empty beer and liquor bottles strewn about the tables. Bring sunscreen, bug spray, beach gear and maybe a garbage bag to help clean up.
