Hammond has been making some huge improvements in the last few years. Dowling park is fitted with a couple trails with different lengths depending on how much walking/biking you want to do. There is pond where you can fish or just watch the birds fly on and off. The playground for kids (ages 5 and up) is perfect to help your child work their coordination while also having fun. The playground is also fitted with a rubber-like floor while provides ultimate comfort for your child while they're playing. There is a dog park located about 100 feet from the playground. It's fenced in and gives dogs the option to run around or to climb/jump through a couple different obstacles.8/10
