Super cute park. We stopped here to stretch our puppies legs. Park was hard hit from Helene. Bathrooms were absolutely disgusting & backed up. Not sure from use or hurricane but they need closed & cleanned.

We absolutely love this park and visit whenever we are nearby. The trails, creek, unique playhouses and the playground for the kids are all wonderful and set in a beautifully dramatic landscape.

It's also got convenient, clean restrooms and a nice little information center. We actually spent a little over 5 hours there today just playing and exploring. Highly recommend!

Love this community park. There are play structures, restrooms, walking trails, wide open green spaces and kid buildings for imagination play. The real gem is the creek that flows along the park. Many people walked along and through the creek. Kids were wading and tubing. It isn’t very deep but it’s fun to play and splash.

Located behind the Mast Store Annex, this park is definitely a hidden gem. Plenty of equipment for the kids to play on, as well as a path to walk on with a relaxing bubbling brook in the background. There is access to the creek so the kids can wade in the cool water. There are also very nice bathrooms. Visitors can drop an optional donation into the box on the way in.

A beautiful community park, that is a must stop and enjoy with family, friends, and well behaved dogs. This non- profit park that relies on cash donations, which we were happy to leave at entry or exit, voluntary cash drop box. BEAUTIFUL and very peaceful at this park, totally paved walking trails, unusual awesome statues, arts, trees, restrooms, vending. We ENJOYED a leisure visit that laster well over two hours. Such a unique and well kept park. Can't say enough good things. We thoroughly enjoyed!! A Gem of a community park that is family friendly, dog friendl and wheelchair friendly!! There is no excuse for anyone not to visit this very educational park.

We love this beautiful park. Quiet during the week but busy on the weekends. Go to their website and donate to help keep it running!

This place was INCREDIBLE! Even more incredible, it's all funded by donations. Absolutely stunning views at all times of the day. A little something for everyone...
Strolling the paved paths, walking the grass trails, sitting riverside, fishing, playgrounds, sculptures, lots of wildlife, wetlands area, music events, picnic areas, and drop dead gorgeous sunrise and sunsets. If you love nature and beautiful things, stop by if you're in the high country.

Beautiful park with playsets for smaller kids, basketball court, open field for soccer or frisbee, some Frisbee golf goals, walking paths and plenty of spots to fish off the shore from!
