Big Trees Park

PARK REVIEW

This was a really great playground. There was a lot of equipment, and it is nice and shady here. It is a fairly small park (4.2 acres). There is a nice tree lined walking path next to the playground across Charlotte Way. This park is nestled inside of a nice neighborhood.
