It sits in what feels like the middle of town, right next to a museum. The park comes complete with a playground and somewhat of a circular path if you want to get some laps in. For the most part it is fenced. I came here to do some laps since what I had wanted to do was not available at that time. It was a nice distraction and gave me something to do until I figured out where I was going after that.

My main complaint is that it's too small/short, and there aren't more parks like this in Lancaster. I think Lancaster would be greatly enriched by more of these paved bicycle right-of-ways, and perhaps, to expand this park by creating a dedicated bicycle right-of-way in the street extending from one or both ends of the park. I think this park could be enriched by taking the areas that are not used for playgrounds, and making them more of a natural habitat for wild plants. Some parts of this park, including parts that are not really used for any sort of fun purpose, are carefully landscaped, whereas other parts of them are weedy and overgrown--but in large part by invasive, non-native plants that have little ecological value. I think that if the city set more of the small greenspace in this park aside as wild habitat, and took the energy and time saved on maintenance of the parts that are currently landscaped, and instead dedicated this towards occasional mechanical removal of some of the non-native species, this park could provide some valuable habitat for plants and animals in this otherwise dense urban part of Lancaster. I also would appreciate it when I walk or bike down this corridor.

Grandkids were overwhelmed with what to climb and play on first as there was so much to see and do! The main play structure is massive and has tons of activities for all ages/climb & play levels. I especially liked the "stone cave" with a panther on top, it made for a cute photo opp. My youngest, a train fanatic, loved the train playset. For me, the tandum swing was my favorite. No need to push when you can put your little one in a safety seat in front of you and your swinging action moves both swings. It was genius and something I've never seen before. The grounds were well maintained, with lots of grassy area to run, as well as benches and a pavilion. Although it's a bit of a drive for us I do plan on returning.

All the tees and baskets remained in the same place, but they dumped loads of sand all over the park. There are sea shells in it, so unlike I originally thought, which was it was removed creek bank, I guess they trucked it in. Just odd. Only weeds grow on the sand. The park is still fine for a quick stop over lunch, but I wouldn't want to play there with others unless I was pressed for time. I should be fair and say kids might have fun finding little shells in the sand, and the renovation had nothing to do with trying to enhance the disc golf experience. The same basket in the review below is still crooked. 2022-23: Nice short course. Well kept. 2 Baskets crooked. Every other trip is usually ended short without playing through due to off leash dogs walkers. Although the dogs are always good, the people are not so bright. The dogs will chase a disc that heads their way. After that happened twice, I just leave now.

There's also a baseball field, pavilion with lots of tables, and plenty of open grass/ field. There are also two separate playground areas, one for ages 2-5 and then another for 6-12. If you're there during peak times on a Saturday the amount of children/ tweens and parents there can feel a bit overwhelming. So I would advise trying to avoid peak times on a Saturday. Sundays seem a little more calm. There are so many cool features at this playground your child will definitely have fun and wear themselves out! There's also a waterway/ creek that has ducks in it frequently and what appears to be a path/walkway/ walking trail. This park has everything you need for a day or afternoon at the park!
