Well, this park is definitely a work in progress. As it stands now, it is pretty run down and cluttered. However,, there is hope. The clutter is construction equipment and materials.
The park has two decent sand volleyball courts, one on each side of the park. There is tons of parking, but a large portion of it is taken up by construction equipment. The majority of the park is baseball fields. There are like 5 of them. They need some help though. One of them has part of the fence knocked down. It looks like they were lighted, but there is a pile of lights on the outside of one of the fields now.
There is a playground. I would not recommend letting the little ones play on it though. It is in pretty bad shape. Not only the equipment is bad, but the grounds is not well maintained either. There is a busted swing set that is roped off, monkey bars, three small jungle gyms with slides, smaller kid swings and geo dome climber. You can walk the park's 1.5 mile trail. It is a decent trail that is paved.
There is two restroom facilities at the park, one o each end and there are a bunch of picnic tables, some of which are under shelters at the front of the park.They are ok, but the area is prone to flooding and pooling water after a heavy rain.
Finally, there is a small gym in the back of the park, along with a baseball field, a restroom facility, additional parking, a sand volleyball court and two fields with metal backstops. There is also some open grass areas that can be used for other activities. You will find a memorial dedicated to John Slidell right next to the gym. Just look for the flag pole.
This park has huge potential. I can easily see it as a 4 star park if the renovations get done. As it stands. This park is not worth visiting unless you want to walk the trail or visit the gym. read more
