Mr. Ryan Givens helped me out with planning our July 4th trip. Made it very accessible for my family who needs accommodations regarding a beach wheelchair! Thank you!!!

★★★★★Krysta Stoddard

Thank you, John Henry, for helping us with borrowing the beach wheelchair for our son. He was so pleased to be able to get out by the ocean with ease. The rec dpt building and grounds are beautiful and well maintained when we were by to pick it up.

★★★★★Jacob Meadows

Awesome gym. Cheap too. Has everything you could need so why pay for an expensive gym membership? Bathroom + showers. There's more to this place than the gym but that's all I use it for. Friendly staff! Plenty of parking and a basketball court next to a tiny nature trail outside.

I love Bill Smith Park on Fish Factory Road! The park is well kept and a safe place to exercise! I ride my bicycle most mornings and am greater with a big smile and wave from Pat, worker at the park! I see people using the Frisbee Golf, walking or just stopping for a social chat! I want to thank Parks and Recreation for providing such a great place to stay healthy and enjoy the park! A big shout out to Pat, it’s all good riding early in the morning when I know your there! 🙏🙏 Linda Zaccaro South Harbor

Very nice. We went for a Christmas craft fair. Being that the fair was going on that day parking was a problem but I'm sure normally it isn't. Nice facility very easy to find and see from the road
