The park was very clean, the benches were nice and in great condition. There is now a net above the seating area to protect the public from fowl balls. The restrooms were clean and warm. The snack bar was open, stocked, and running well. Parking was also good. We parked right up from.

Im here for a rodeo. I just got done watching muttun bustin. A little girl won with a 91 rating in her ride. Waiting for the rest of the rodeo to start around 7:30 pm.

Great view of horse riding competition. Stadium seats or just stand and watch young people show their riding style and the agility form and expertise of the trained horses.

I love all of Higginsville's wonderful parks. My kids love them and there are so many. My husband has played softball on the fields. Very clean and well maintained.

Went to this place on a family function it was kind of put of the blue. This is a heck of a park. I just was not expecting such a nice place. The pool area has a really cool slide on it. Looks like a great place for anyone. A great place to stop off and let little ones run off bordom from long car trips.
