Mary Jo Peckham Park

We enjoy the aprk on a daily basis. My wife and I walk and run the trail while our two boys fish. As of lter there has been a foul smell but not sure that it is ithe lake. The lake is clear. My sons and I have caught numerous catfish out of the lake. The perch are plentifull as well. Great place to get your kids started in the outdoors instead of in front of the computer or playing video games all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I like it very much. The only problem is they two best Water Aerobics teachers are scheduled for the morning classes leaving the less experienced teachers to always teach the afternoon classes. They are young and inexperienced and don't seem to have been properly trained in teaching Water Aerobics. They have no set routines and do some very puzzling things. I think they need to be better trained. I also think they need to devide the teachers between morning and afternoon evenly between the more experienced teachers and less experienced.l

This park has something to offer everyone. Putt Putt golf, an outdoor park for the kids, an indoor swimming pool, a gym, a walking trail; picnic tables and I'm sure I'm missing something. The walking trail is 3/4 of a mile long and it's very peaceful and safe. We walk there approximately 2-3 times a week and we always see people fishing and catching fish.

What I dislike about the lake is how dirty and smelly it is. Fishing there is pointless, you never catch anything, which is sad, b/c its the closest place to take the little ones fishing. I won't even let the kids near the water now. We were there yesterday and there were lots of vultures there, very nasty. For a public place it should be better taken care of. As far as the golf, its hard to play b/c most times the areas are covered with stuff or they are standing in water.

i dislike most about the lake was that it was trash every where even in the water and i don't think that there is any bass in the pond.
