Billy O Phillips Parks is a newly constructed park located
on Lexington Dr in the Legacy development. It consists
of a Game Time playground, restrooms, a new Cedar Forest
shelter house (named after our former mayor Jerry Starkweather),
sidewalks, trees, and a future practice ball diamond. The
park is open to all residents. The shelter can be reserved

Brownie Park - 805 Cherry
Parkway
This park was recently updated. A white picket fence and
arbor greet you as you begin the trail into the park. It
leads to the outline of a butterfly body right in the center
of the trail, with the brightly colored floral wings on
either side of the trail completing the butterfly design.
Another addition to the project is a wooden porch-style
swing hanging from a matching arbor. Park in Library lot
and walk the trail to the park.
