Lovely 😍🌹 A great place for your kids to have fun. Probably the best park I have seen in a long long LONG time. There are also a bunch of things to do like swing, slide, climb, etc. Would definitely recommend for a family too have some fun, or too get out of the house and play outside! 😊

I like this little park. 18 hole disc, coarse. 9 hole golf coarse. Camp ground, dog park, kids play grounds, and a couple of ponds. Great place to walk or picnic.

Nice little town feel. Went to see one of my favorite bands, Van Waylon Band, for the 4th of July celebration. The people here were so nice and kind, and I felt safe and secure sitting by myself watching this great band. I try to see them as often as I can. The actual Charley Brown park is really nice and well maintained. Every area i was in was clean and tidy. A little girl sang the National Anthem before the band started. There was a group there with a wall called the Roman's Warrior Foundation for combat warriors. It was truly beautiful, patriotic, and inspirational to see. It had signatures, photos, and letters from and to these wonderful veterans. Some listed were killed in action, some died from conditions while in service, and some died from suicide after service. As well as some info on veterans who are still alive and still struggling with whatever they went through. This wall, as well as the people involved with it, was so heartwarming. It shows there are still many more veterans in need of help. Some of them their own government has forgotten. I heard from a really good source that the band, Van Waylon Band, donated to their cause, too. I hope they decide to have them back next year as well. Thanks goes to all the hard work and organizations and local businesses that take the time, effort, and money to make beautiful celebrations for our Wonderful America for We the People possible.
