    Great experience for the entire family. Great baseball, true southern hospitality and outstanding facilities. This is a must for a serious baseball team/player!

    High five to the staff at The Ripken Experience. Enjoyed a great tournament this weekend at the park. This place was immaculate, the staff was very friendly and we had a very positive experience.

    So the facility is clean and well maintained. 6 fields lots of off field space. And a good amount of parking.

    Very cute place for a little walk. There were no games being played but we played at the playground and took in the scenery!

    3/21/21: We are here for a basketball tournament. The facility is pretty nice & they keep it clean…read moreand tidy. There were A LOT of people there though, so there wasn't much social distancing going on. Like a previous review said, in the gym, there was a black fabric on the bleachers creating space, but it didn't do much for social distancing to be honest. People were sitting all on top of one another. So, I went upstairs and distanced myself. The food was GROSS!! The cafe opened at 10 am & we were starving. We purchased a cheeseburger combo with fries and a Gatorade along with chicken strips. The food LOOKED good, but it definitely didn't taste good. The chicken strips were HARD AS ROCKS & cold. The fries were cold too. Later, we tried pizza hoping it would be better & the crust was hard and dry. I don't expect a 5-star meal. I just expect their expensive food to be edible. We were there all day & I didn't have any issues outside of the food. There was also a Kona Ice vendor & a flavored-nut vendor there too. My son enjoyed the Kona Ice & the prices were reasonable based on size.

    Visited the area for a basketball tournament with our daughter this weekend. Great facility and…read morewonderful campus! Love the upstairs viewing/seating area and the concession stands were nice as well. Not sure how new the place is but the courts are in great shape and it was very nice to watch games here. Mountains in the background can't be too bad either once you leave the building. Great place and can't wait to visit again!

    Came here a few weeks ago to play disc golf at the park. What a lovely course! A nice blend of…read morewooded and open field - I was surprised at how hot I was on the course. There are several different tees to choose from, of course, but using the UdIsc app helps. Like many disc golf course courses, this is also bike path trail so you do have to watch out for that. Although this was not an issue for us whatsoever and never has been. Some people were also walking their dogs and doing other things here as well. This is a huge park. I think there were people swimming in another area. All free. Easy access. Good parking. Will definitely return next time I'm in Johnson City.

    We were here for a softball tournament and overall thought the park was quite nice. Since we had…read morethe 8 o'clock a.m. game, we arrived at the crack of dawn as the sun rose. Parking at that time was not a problem as we were the 1st ones there. There are 4 diamonds in the quad and the entry gate was staffed by a tournament person. The narrow pathway was used by both those with tournament passes, those having to pay at the gate, and those exiting the quad. Needless to say, it was not a good traffic flow and also not good in the times of a pandemic. I also noted that the pricing was very high. The quad itself is very nice. There are bleachers on both sides of all 4 fields as well as plenty of room for spectators who bring their own chairs. There is a building in the middle which serves as the press room with views to all 4 quads and the ability to manage the scoreboards. The scoreboards were all functional for a change but the scorekeeper was very late in tracking scores for each play. The dugouts were also very nice and the fields well kept. While we were there they had grounds crew working each field between games. A nice touch! Since we got there so early, I had plenty of time to walk while the team warmed up. As it turns out, I walked around most of the park. It was a bit hilly walking up by the monument and administrative building then a steep incline down the back side to the playground area and water. It also looked like there was a space for performances and other organized activities. I finished my walk with a lap around the fields and saw there was also a 5th field in addition to a possible soccer and lacrosse field or football fields to the side. Very nice facilities indeed! Because I came and went between games I was concerned upon return about finding a parking space. The games were well spaced out and people were coming and going, I had no problem finding an open spot. It was not as good as the front row by the gate we got at the crack of dawn, but it was fine all the same. Tomorrow we will play at a different field but I hope to return to this park later in the week. The fact that it had running water in the restrooms and indoor plumbing inside the quad as well as other facilities throughout the park, made it quite convenient and pleasant to be at.
