Chase Park

Sports Facilities

Chase Park is home to a variety of sports venues that cater to different interests. The tennis courts are a real highlight - they come with lighting that lets you extend your game well into the evening, perfect if you're tied up during daylight hours. It's actually quite nice to play under the lights when the day cools down.

The basketball courts are often busy with activity. You'll find kids and teenagers shooting hoops, making friends, and organizing impromptu games. The courts tend to have a nice social atmosphere.

Children's Play Area

If you're bringing little ones along, the park offers a fenced-in playground area where they can burn off some energy. The playground setup includes swings, a fort structure, and during summer months, kids can splash around in the small water fountain play area - a welcome relief on hot days.

We should mention that the playground equipment is showing its age - reportedly about 50 years old and due for an upgrade. The lack of shade can also be an issue, as the equipment can get pretty hot in direct sunlight. The good news is that there have been discussions about renovations to create a safer, more modern play space for children.

Open Spaces

One of the park's best features is its generous green spaces. These open areas give you room to spread out a picnic blanket, toss a frisbee, or just lie back and watch the clouds roll by. Kids especially appreciate having the freedom to run around without constraints.

These spaces are often used for community events and family get-togethers. The park is also popular with dog walkers - you'll regularly see people strolling along with their four-legged companions.

Amenities and Views

Parking here is free, which is always a plus. As for facilities, there aren't permanent restrooms, but a portable toilet is available when nature calls.

If you're looking for a special experience, consider visiting Chase Park after dark. Several visitors have mentioned the beautiful views at night, making an evening visit unexpectedly rewarding. The park takes on a different character after sunset, offering a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts with its daytime energy.
