Roy Haynes Park and Community Center

Nice place to enjoy lunch at the picnic tables and small enough to let your kids run around. Plenty of parking and well kept.

This is a great park. It is always clean and has plenty of parking. There are alot of community activities available and the children's program has been wonderful for my 7 yr old daughter. She even gets to play the violin for free. There are also free tennis clinics for kids. It is nestled in the beautiful but humble Lake Magdalene area.

Great little park. We visited on a Saturday morning and had most of the place to ourselves. There are two sets of playground equipment (one for "big" kids and one for toddlers) with several attached slides and a swing set. The tennis courts were being well-used and were the only part of the park in the full sun. Everything else was under a group of large oaks that provided wonderful shade. The biggest negative was that the bathrooms were locked, so if your little ones need a bathroom break, you have to head home.

My pups rate this place best park in the neighborhood to score a free tennis ball. We love it!

The time of day that you are here will drastically effect your enjoyment of the park. When I have been early morning, it is fairly empty and quite enjoyable. When we've gone mid-afternoon, their after-school programs are generally occupying the basketball court and tennis court. The tennis court is in terrible shape, barely passable if you are attempting to play somewhat seriously. The basketball court is in much better condition. It is not a full size court and the rims are double rimmed, but still much more enjoyable. I have never really seen pickup games going on.
