Overall, Laurel Hills park was a great place to refresh, relax, and let the kids have some fun. Highly recommend it for anyone traveling through the area with young children!

It does get busy on weekends, but the queueing system works well--just put your paddle in the rack and wait for your turn. Even if you're solo, it's easy to find open slots and join games, which makes it a great spot to meet other players. The only downside is that refilling your water can be tricky, so make sure to bring a large water bottle. If you get hungry, Neomonde is a great quick option just down the street. Overall, I've found everyone at the courts to be welcoming and inclusive, making it a great environment for newcomers like me.

I tried searching for playgrounds and this one never came up. It can be time consuming to search parks and the read through reviews to see if there is a playground or not. This one is located right next to Laurel Hills Park, but it has its own name and it is large enough that I am deeming it necessary to have its own page so voila! Here we go. This playground has several tables surrounding it where you can bring a picnic lunch and watch the kids play. Some are shaded but not all. The play equipment is highly accessible since there are ramps and walkways that are wide enough for strollers and wheelchairs. There are multiple swing sets including the full body chair swings. There are a few zipline-type rides, one that zips down and is designed to return you to the starting platform. There is a sandy area that you can use with beach toys. There is also a basketball half or quarter court with an adjustable height basket. There is plenty of equipment for kids to play on so it could easily keep kids busy for more than an hour. There is a community center that neighbors the playground as well. Rock on, Sassafrass!

So many places to hide away in nature and be at one with nature. There is a convenient bathroom on the premises in the historic homes. Plenty of parking. There is a private lot and on-street parking. The parking here was effortless for me. Great park for a day date picnic, family time, or events that are being hosted at the park. I look forward to returning in late fall when the weather is tolerable temperature.

I love that I can charge my phone on the cardio machines while working out. The cardio area is spacious. The assisted weight area is perfect and I like how there are separate spaces for different workout focus areas (cardio, assisted strength and functional fitness). The indoor pool is perfect for all year enjoyment. I look forward to continuing to go to this location even if it's a few extra minutes out. The service here was fantastic!

I absolutely loved the vintage piece of artwork made of the basketball court floor hanging in the lobby. This location did not reek of chlorine as you walk in.
