Description - This park is operated by the Montgomery County Department of Parks and offers day use activities. With the proximity of the large suburban area, this park receives heavy use. The park's green space is a nice place to retreat from busy traffic and hectic lifestyles. You will receive some relief from noise, especially if you sit beside the peaceful Stoney Creek. The open spaces with shrub plantings are enjoyed by common songbirds. The many farm fields of the park are a green oasis in this fast growing suburban setting. There is a paved hiking / biking trail, ball fields and fishing in Stoney Creek.
