Simms Park

The park could be decent but the people that go here especially on Fridays after 3pm make this park a danger zone. Crip rejects frequent this park. So if u wanna avoid a potential police raid or a fight don’t come here on Fridays after 3. And, if you’re a chic with a nice face and/​or body please be advised that these thirst buckets don’t take no for an answer :-(

Clean well maintained park a little pot smoking but that’s OK lol clean facilities great farmers market

It’s a cool park to go for a quick run… BIG marijuana problem though everytime I go it smells like week and a lot of wanna be gangsters always hang out there making it pretty difficult to take the family. I have seen a bit more security which is good but they need something more permanent …

Cardio Aerobic classes every Tue and Thurs, sometimes Fri. Classes are led by Becky, who is awesome. If you buy a 15 class pack, its only $ 45. At $ 3 a class, it is well worth it for an hour of training. The class is step aerobics, but it includes weights, and they focus on abs at the end. I was hesitant to take this class, but my fiancé and I were interested in trying something new, and we were glad we tried this class. Check with the city website for more info, or just go inside and check the bulletin boards for more info. The park also offers Boot Camp workouts, Zumba, and other fitness programs. Stay local, support your parks, and get healthy.

This park is a little outdated compared to other parks in the city. The parking lot is shared with a womans club or hall and an activity center. They have a large baseball field and a few full basketball courts but not too much room for soccer. I wouldnt recommend throwing parties here but if u must there are two picnic areas but the bathrooms always seem closed. Our favorite time to go is during Spring, the park stays open late and there are a lot of kids playing baseball, softball, basketball and practicing soccer. The lights light up the fields but not the playground. I enjoy taking my kids here because it’s conveniently close and stays open late. My only complaint is that there are a lot of teenagers who like to smoke weed. Nothing against weed but not in a park full of kids. This doesn’t happen every time but it has happened before.

Features include a kitchen, multi-​purpose room, and picnic area. I’ve hosted a training conference at the auditorium here. There is a teen/​volunteer center. This is also the administrative headquarters for the city Parks and Recreation Department. You can also rent the gym or softball diamond in advance.
