Beautiful park, I liked the cleanliness, several slides and several basketball courts!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with school-age kids who enjoy climbing challenges, though parents should be prepared for maintenance issues. The varied equipment including ninja warrior-style features appeals to older children, but limited accessibility and cleanliness concerns make it less ideal for families with special needs or very young kids.

β€œReally fun equipment at the playground, but some graffiti vandalism, dirty bathrooms, and gopher hole filled sports fields. Overall my kids enjoy it, but as a mom, I see the hazards more than they do. Has all access swings for children with special needs (see photos), but lots of the other equipment is designed with a ninja warrior/parkour style and wouldn't be for all access childrenβ™Ώ. There's a smaller gated playground as well for little ones that's nicely shaded by very tall trees in the morning. For adults and older kids/teens there's basketball & tennis courts, outdoor workout area, baseball field, and several other available fields to accommodate sports. In summer time there's a pool with a water slide and splash pad, but it is currently empty since it's more out of season. May include fees to use the pool area, but I don't know since it's closed right now (I took pictures of it a couple weeks ago before it was drained).”

β€œDecent playground. The appartuses are ok. One seems older and more traditional (slides) and another has a lot of things to climb on. The latter is for older kids. There is sand, which is a bummer. There is not much shade and not many places to sit right near the playground.”
