Nice stream. Looks like any other park, right?
Yes, it offers fantastic athletic fields and play ground, but so do many other parks.
There are bunnies! And squirrels ... and probably lots of other critters, but that's not why people flock to this park.
Nope. People come to play disc golf!
You're probably wondering what 'disc golf' is ... I know we were! Basically, it's golf, except instead of clubs and golf balls they use frisbees. The park is home to an 18 hole disc golf course that's a favorite with locals. Some show up with just one frisbee in hand, but the great majority lugs around big bags full of frisbees for different distances. They take this stuff VERY seriously! Maybe we'll go back and bring a (yes, just one) frisbee sometime.
The trails are okay, but you have to keep an eye out for errant frisbees and we found several ticks on our clothes. Yuck! Probably would not recommend this park for hiking/biking unless you want to play disc golf, or use their other facilities (sport fields, play ground, etc).
Nice old house by the parking lot. We noticed it was near one of the holes on the disc golf course ... and that many of the windows were either broken or boarded up. Coincidence? Hmm ...
