It was a nice day to visit a park we hadn't been here. Lots of cars. Didn't realize how big the park was. Very well shaded. We are from Dallas, so we were only able to be here just here for a few hours as the site seeing continued

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This large, shaded park works well for families seeking a quick stop or outdoor break, especially during road trips. While safety has reportedly improved and the park offers good amenities like restrooms, parents should be prepared for variable cleanliness and homeless encampments that may affect the family atmosphere.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Expect heavy parking - arrive early or be patient finding spots
⏰Pack hand sanitizer and be prepared for litter and maintenance issues
🎟️The park is larger than expected - plan extra time for exploration
πŸš—Restrooms and even shower facilities are available on-site

β€œNice place for a rest on a road trip, with accessable restrooms, and a shower in the parking lot for the homeless. Was just chill to relax under the trees and watch the squirrels.”
