★★★★★Featured review by Jose Manuel Alvarado Munoz

The park is nice and relaxing, the community center is quiet, the restrooms are clean and tidy, the walking, running, and exercises are friendly.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for active families with kids across a wide age spread — toddlers have dedicated sections, older children gravitate to the skate park and climbing structures, and parents can spread out on the grassy areas. Bring bikes to take full advantage of the park paths. The water area operates seasonally, so check ahead in cooler months.

Beautiful park with a huge playground. I think there are water features during the summer. Plenty of shade and seating. Well thought out park.

Stanton Central Park is a stupendous location to bring the kids if you are in the area, especially if they like trains. There is an interactive water play area (though closed right now due to Covid-19), however kids seemed to still love to play with the elements there, two playground areas (one smaller playground for little children, and the other main playground), a rope web course for climbing, four tennis courts, skate park, butterfly garden, sports field, and two half-basketball courts. Even though it was the weekend, there was plenty of parking. Restrooms are available near the community center and playground area. The biggest draw is the wonderfully designed train inspired playground where excited kids could play for hours. The playgrounds are a little spread out, and open, so keeping an eye on multiple children can be a little challenging. My kids simply enjoyed it, and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards. Please note that BBQ grills, and moon bounce jumpers are not allowed, however dogs on leashes less than 6 feet are permitted. With so many appealing recreational activities, there is fun to be had for young and old. So, bring the whole family, create memories, and bond through wholesome recreation.
