Tournament was delayed by two hours due to rain. When we arrived the fields looked great and there was ample space to set up your own seating. A few trips were made to the bathroom by my group and no complaints. At one point, one person when to the concession stand to see what was on the menu as we were starting to get hungry. Come to find out that even though teams were still playing, the concession stand had closed. Most places would make an adjustment to their schedule for delayed tournaments to ensure they stayed open during the last games. This may be an external group that runs them, and I get it, it's just tough to corral hungry children and convince them they'll be fine for awhile longer.

People seem to be completely ignoring the signs because the park was incredibly crowded and no one was social distancing. Luckily, we were able to find a secluded picnic table to sit at and eat our lunch. It seemed like a nice park and I would have loved to stay and walk around on some of the trails, but I wasn't comfortable doing that considering how crowded it is. I'd recommend trying to find a less popular park than this one if you're just trying to spend some time outside.

The park includes a soccer field, four lighted baseball/soccer fields and a picnic shelter. When I stopped in today, there was some sort of mountain biking trail thing going on, so they clearly have a ton of that. Not much for playground or basketball, but there are other parks nearby that do have them. The park is set back from Johnston Road so it's quite secluded as far as traffic goes. It is operated in partnership with the Morrison YMCA. [Review 11567 overall, 1347 of 2019.]

I've been to countless baseball and soccer games here and had always been impressed with the sheer amount of space, number fields of all kinds, and the amount of care that goes into keeping the grounds in shape. I haven't been inside any of the main buildings, but I understand there are amenities for members to utilize such as a pool, gym, etc. The only slight drawback to this park is parking. The areas for parking can get a bit complex and overrun at times when there is more than one little league game or youth soccer match happening at the same time. Some parents get pretty creative and strategic with their mini van placement.

Over 320 acres of natural space along the Catawba River where "individuals, families and groups to enjoy the world God has given to us." Massive recreation fields, a playground, fishing along the river and more. Camping areas with campfire sites and a covered pavilion with picnic tables are available with reservations. The park entrance is a half mile dirt/gravel road so you might not want to bring your fanciest car. But it's smooth enough and the tall old-growth trees are on both sides. Enjoy. I certainly did.

We pack a little picnic, comfy folding chairs, and purchase delightful adult beverages from the Canteen. I recently tried the goat yoga class ( see website for dates, limited). I laughed so hard nearly the entire class. Arrive early and they will let you hold a baby or just pet little goats until class starts. Yoga class itself was not too serious- do what you can, stretch yourself to your own comfort level, and enjoy being in nature with baby goats. New Moon Flower Farm provided the baby goats and the yoga instructor was from Tega Cay. Kids participated too, and the energy of the young was infectious.

I've been to this park many times over the recent years but this evening was special because my Grand was performing in the town Christmas show Choir after the Tree Lighting. The Town did such a great job adding the 2,400 square foot Amphitheater, it's a great design and a needed addition to the growing Town of Fort Mill. It's a town tradition along with the parade. They close down main street making it walkable for all the local business'. We're living in the 'post-COVID' world and it feels so good to see all the residents and hundreds of families out celebrating the season and just being together. There was so much laughter, so many smiles and it was clear to me we as a community, a town and a nation are feeling happier and more optimistic.

I lucked up on a parking space right off the green but this place definitely needs more dedicated parking. The amphitheater is nicely located at one end of the green and away from the playground. This allowed ppl to setup their chairs and tents by the stage and families to be closer to the park area so their kids could play. The addition of bathrooms is super nice and the accommodations are great. This event included food trucks and a beer tent. You had to purchase tickets to buy beer but the ticket tent was right next to the beer tent. Can't wait for the next concert and to hopefully entice the family to come out too.
