Rustic Park

Date of first visit was Wednesday October 25,2023. This long, narrow park sits between a creek and a railroad track. No room for a soccer field, tennis courts, or baseball at Rustic Park. There are plenty of facilities for children to play on. Check out the wooden train. There is plenty of room to walk your dog. I also saw grills and picnic pavilions which are perfect for family gatherings. No swimming pool here. I'm sure fishing is allowed.

This park has always been a relaxing, fun place to escape and enjoy nature as I was growing up. When I had children, I brought them here several days a week, weather permitting. They just loved the diversity the park offers. There’s something for everyone to do here. If you want to cool off you can hop in the creek or if you’re chilly, soak up some sunshine while laying out on a blanket in the grass. Plenty of both sun and shade here. One of my favorite places to take in the scenery and sounds is right along the waters edge sitting in the shade on one of the benches. There are several play areas with slides, swings, and other equipment to play on. There are pavilions offering fireplaces that you can grill on and picnic tables to have gatherings. Our family has a family reunion every summer here. You can rent the pavilion for privacy. That’s another feature of this park that I like. Because, the park follows alongside of Hay Creek, the park is nice sized and allows for visitors to enjoy the day without being crowded. Last, but not least, if you enjoy fishing, the creek is stocked and there’s a fishing rodeo for children and adults. The park is also animal friendly. My boys always loved to watch the horses being ridden and groomed before being loaded back onto their trailer to head home. Thanks for all of the wonderful memories!

Was here for a friends baby shower. Was a pretty nice park with multiple pavilions along the water and train tracks. Unfortunately it was raining so we didnt get to explore a whole lot. Was still a great baby shower!

Even know the water was high the fish were still hitting very nice river if you have waders and just want to relax

Great fishing for native brown trout in fall.
