I recently discovered this lovely park (hidden off Milhaven, near the airport) full of beautiful oak trees. I now have new trails to explore! It appears that there are a few covered picnic areas but I'm unsure about the condition of the run down looking tennis courts and playground areas throughout the park. I only noticed a few runners/walkers on a paved path along the east perimeter. There is a horseshoe pitching area further in the park. Also, the NELA soccer complex is located within the park on the east side.
The 204 acres, 18-hole golf course is situated within the 500 acres of Chennault Park. However, I cannot give an accurate review since I'm not a golfer, nor am I knowledgeable with the ins and outs of the course. Driving by, the course looks nice and properly maintained.
I guess the general public doesn't usually frequent the park because it is a bit hidden and is probably better known to the golfing community or those who use the outdoor soccer fields.
It would be nice to have a picnic here when the weather cools down and it's not triple digits temperatures outside. Please check out this local park when you find the time! read more
