★★★★★Scott PriceWe lover our community center as they offer a lot of activities, especially volleyball!
★★★★Brandon WidnerVery well maintained field and facilities great seating, great lighting, great concession stands, and good location.
★★★★★Bambi ReevesWe went for my nephew's fifth birthday party. Him and his friends had a great time. Good prices and everyone was comfortable.
★★★★Ashley MyersNice park. I've been in 2 of the gyms. The one closer to oakwood (not the buddy Bryant gym) is the much nicer one! There is a nice playground behind it with lots of cool equipment for the kids to play on! There's also a well kept baseball field with covered bleachers that help keep you shaded. I would definitely recommend this park to anyone unfamiliar with it!
★★★★Lillian R.Love to play with the kids at the park. Plenty of space to run and a sidewalk around the park allows parents to get a good walk in while keeping eyes on their children. Haven't spent time inside the rec center yet.
