The park is always clean, has plenty of seating, fields are always kept neat, and it has a great playground.

We Really enjoyed this park! My girls (4 & 8) and I went to this park. It was very clean, well maintained and we could actually USE the public restroom unlike most park we've gone to and its FREE, can't beat free!

Took our youngest son here a few weeks back to get home out of the house and get him some fresh air. It was a good experience for him and he seemed to enjoy it. I only give it 4 stars because they still havent fixed the basketball goals. Other than that it's a great park.

Great place to walk. Very peaceful. Also great place for dogs to run free. I like to close the field gates and let my Dog run off-lease. I have seen many people there working out. There is also an amazing walking trail Within easy access. Right outside of the football field you can go on to the walking trail Mini ride bikes at bikes and walk and run. I have seen people walking their dogs on leash and and have very obedient obedient or mount tempered dogs who do not come after you or bark at you either.

I just come here to play pokemon Go. There are plenty of baseball fields, soccer fields, and a hockey ring. Playground No playground Restrooms I did not see a restroom. There might be one next to the concessions. Dog-friendliness I think I saw poo bags Picnic area I would not go on a picnic here. There are areas you can eat food.

I love how close this park is to home but it was a little larger than my toddler cared for. Took a lot of warming up to and assistance as he thought it was "big and scawee." Bonus for us was the construction equipment parked in the parking lot as he is obsessed with excavators currently.

This is a favorite spot for my family to park and walk on the Aldridge Creek Greenway. From the small north parking lot you file the gravel road around the baseball field to the bridge that crosses the creek. If you choose to go all the way to Ditto Landing, it's about 3 miles each way, but it's paved and doable. The park itself is clean and has 4 small baseball fields. There's other field space, including a football field. There's also a kids playground with slides and swings for younger kids. Bring a snack. I'm not aware of any food in walking distance.

This would have been a better experience, but for whatever reason all the bathrooms were locked with no sign telling why. They also need more shade, but we left because of the bathrooms being locked. Playground Playground needs more shade. Also they're next to a dog park and the dog park people keep bringing their dogs to the children's playground. They need to keep them in their park. The children shouldn't have to worry about dog poop on their playground or being scared by a overly excited dog. Restrooms Restrooms were locked so we had to leave.

This park becomes a regular stop during our walks on Aldridge Creek Greenway. It is about a mile from our starting point and a good place for a short rest. Advantage is that the restroom facilities by picnic area are open and well maintained during the winter. Nice park for multiple family activities.

There were multiple football games being played (small kids) and each team had various people out there supporting and cheering for them. The experience brought back memories of my youth playing football!

For Huntsville, this is a more than decent park. It is no Kids Kingdom and like most Huntsville parks on the older end of its time but not vintage like some. There are sufficient trees for someone like me who could use a little shade in the summer time, a great play structure, large old school slides (test the head on sunny days), basketball ball court, fields, bathrooms, etc. I pass a playground or two in order to come here when on our end of town. I would love to see Huntsville put up some UV canopies but overall, a great place to being the little kids and space for the larger ones to play as well.

Love this park! It's where I played ball many years ago and now get to watch my daughter cheer. They have kept up the park amazingly well!

Really nice area to walk around during the entire year just for exercise. There's a bridge that connects to the walking trail on the other side of the creek at the back end of the baseball field cluster

This is a park we visited when my youngest was a baby 13 years ago, and now use with our grandson. Great park with lots to do. The bathrooms, however, could use a tear down and be rebuilt and maintained Restrooms Absolutely nasty, drove to Publix to use theirs

All around a nice park. I gave 4 stars only because I personally had to bring wasp spray to kill the MANY wasp nests around the bathroom area that had been there all summer long. Other than that, it's a nice facility.

Large park. Lots of room to run around. Two different sizes of play grounds for different ages, and bathrooms. We love playing at this park.
