Always a great course to play! I really enjoy the technicality and challenge. Some of the easiest shots are misleading, and birdie shots can easily turn into bogeys.

Nice neighborhood park with lots to do. Two picnic tables at the pavilion. Barbecue grill at pavilion. Nice playground for the kids, full court basketball, shorter basketball goal court for smaller kids with one goal. 18-hole very technical disc golf course. Playground: Nice and in good condition. Dog-friendliness: Plenty of space to walk your dog. Picnic area: 2 picnic tables at the pavilion. Barbecue grill near pavilion. Covered trash cans near the pavilion.

Cool disc golf course. Might want to watch your head if your just hiking the trail, cause golfers play by hole numbers. So if you enter the trail from another access other then the starting point... you take a chance of getting nailed in the head by a disc. O and take plenty of fluids for hydration... only water fountain is at the start by the parking lot. Other then that, cool course, cool trail, and good exercise!

I love this park I have been coming here since I was a kid and it s so green. I love all the trees here and they have a lil boardwalk to look over the pond that s there. Toilets: There s no restrooms here. Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly, plenty of people take their dogs on walks here. Picnic area: They have tables spread out all around the park to sit and eat at. Also flat open space to set down a blanket and enjoy a meal there.

Love this disc golf course a lot of fun be careful of holes 5 and 6 they are notorious for eating discs plus if you plan on going in the summer youll wanna wear shorts its a nice open course for the first 9 and last 4 but other then that love the course and its a must play. Toilets: Do wish there was more then just one porta potty but other then that loves the course

What a nice park! I cant really speak on much except the disc golf course there. Nice mix of open and wooded shots. 2 holes were kind of gimmicky. However, got the throw in 2 on one of em! The woods there are kind of lacking shade tho. Strange I know, but somehow the sunshine just came thru the trees.

This is a great little disc golf park. Long enough to be fun for the adults and yet short enough that even the 4 year olds little legs can keep up through the whole round. There are some simple shots, including an easy ace hole, and some longer and more technical shots. Its a good mix of skill levels. Id definitely go again and I would recommend it to other disc golfers.

I really enjoyed playing disc golf with a friend here the other day. The place is reasonably maintained and free of trash. The course was great and has a mixture of difficult holes versus open drives. The isnt enough parking in the southern parking lot but theres another lot in the NW side of it. The place was pretty packed for a Wednesday afternoon but everyone was courteous as could be. I will definitely be coming back sometime in the future to play here again. Ps- theres no pars listed but Im sure theres a list online somewhere.

Nice park- keep in mind it floods a lot and gets full of garbage and runoff on stormy days and parts tend to smell of manure in the wooded part of the diskgolf park. Playground is constantly having mulch washed away. The creek is eroding a lot of the area so be careful about getting too close. Lots of native wildlife and there s always a chance to spot bobcats or coyotes. Could be nicer if the city took better care of the landscape and native trees/wildflowers instead of just mowing the grass.

Very cool park! Lots of trails, creeks, ponds, playground, little free library, picnic tables, ball fields, and a very big disc golf course. Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars was due to a lack of signage on the disc golf course - many holes were missing their markers with where the hole youre throwing at is, but trail blazes on the trees would also be helpful. Overall, its a really beautiful little park!!

This park is clean, has some nice areas to enjoy, and a nice disc golf course that is challenging but still enjoyable. There are also some sports fields nearby. The neighborhood seems safe and relatively newly constructed which always lends to a positive appearance. I would be happy to visit this park again if I wanted to have an outdoor picnic or just some space to throw around the Frisbee or football.
