The park is very beautiful with lots of fountains, including a large one on the lake. There are various restaurants, apartment complex, and shopping areas around the park. You can also rent a swan boat and buy food for the fishes. The kids can play in the playground while enjoying ice cream at Bruster's. The great restaurants within walking distance includes Tabla, Jinya, TJs, and Marlow's. It's just a wonderful park for a nice walk, eating out, playing, or shopping. Overall: A

Now that I know this is here, I plan on coming back to check out more events, the Food Factory food hall, and a return trip to the Crazy Cork wine bar. Very cool and you wouldn't guess it was here when you drive by on Mitchell Hammock (which I've done many many times).

The stump remains. There used to be an incredible piece of art carved into the tree. There are still other great trees remaining though. Lots of trees. One time I went there on a cool autumn morning and I thought I had passed into dog HEAVEN!!! The fancy dog rescue groups met up and there were tons of incredible dog breeds, especially the ones that look like big fluffy mops. I've been here numerous times, & this park means a lot to me. I have incredible memories. *Beware of the lake, there might be alligators. (I used to enjoy watching the sailboat lessons.) *Best if you wear boots. Last time I ended up with a bunch of dirt in my shoes. *I've only seen 2 dog fights. Stay close to your dog. *Once, I saw what appeared to be coyote fur on a fence, there might be one around there sometimes. The walking trails in the woods/forest part is really fun. A guy used to play his guitar in a center area. I like walking my dogs through the woods there. Sad when I see my dogs years later unable to walk like they previously could, or disoriented, lost in there. We sure did enjoy that park extensively. Bring dog shampoo & a towel if you want, the dog shower bench is free.

When I pulled in on this early Saturday morning, the parking lot were already filled with people to play on the spirt field. However, I was here to walk around the conservation area. Anyway, Young Pine Community Park also has a children's playground, a dog park (actually two parks, one for larger dogs and one for smaller dogs), a canoe and kayak launch and much more. The Conservation Area had signs spaced regularly throughout instructing that no loitering was allowed. I'm assuming this is more to keep the homeless out from camping here. I mean, is it a park about supposed to be hanging out? Getting close to nature? Again, I am guessing that this is an attempt to keep the homeless from establishing tents in a wooded area. All In all, this is an enjoyable little park. The sporting Fields seem to be the biggest draw, but I enjoyed the little walk around the lake and all.
