  • "Great park but park police is pretty much useless, got there at around 12am stayed for about 15 minutes before getting accosted by a druggie asking to buy weed from him"

    "It's a park"

    "Has a skate park! Good size walking track and a play area for the kids, has covered patio areas for get togethers and birthday parties! Forgot the mustard for the hot dogs? No worries because there is a CVS and a Walmart within walking distance! Right off I-35 and highway 16 so all the homies can cruise over for a classic b-ball showdown on an ORIGINAL basketball court from back in the day!"

Great park but park police is pretty much useless, got there at around 12am stayed for about 15 minutes before getting accosted by a druggie asking to buy weed from him. Decided to leave and started walking back to my car park police pulled up blocking me in shining their brights and unnecessarily shining their light bar too. Druggie rode away with police showing no interest in detaining him. It was 50 degrees out and the two cops wouldn't let us into my car for about another 15-20 minutes until they wrote their citations.

It's a park. Take your kids. There's things for them to do. Take your girlfriend there's things for you to do. Or just park your car there and sit inside and sweat your butt off.
Playground
It's a playground, with things kids can play with and on.
Restrooms
The restrooms. Stinky dirty not well maintained. But when you got to go..
Picnic area
There is no actual picnic area. But any area can be a picnic area.

Came here on a Sunday morning and it was still super hot. I'm talking the sun was like, "ayyy bro, let's hang out." And I'm like, "nah, Sun. I'm trying to skate and not drown in sweat, ya feel?" But the sun didn't care. So, after skating for a little bit I had a little lunch under the canopy area next to the park and swings. Cool skatepark, cool park, fun area.

Good park reminds me of FARÍAS PARK ON THE WESTSIDE WHERE I SPENT MOST OF MY CHILD HOOD, EXCEPT THIERS NO CREEK SURROUNDING PARK.. GOOD IMPROVEMENT ON THE BIGGER PARKING LOT AND NEW SIDEWALKS...JUST NEED THE RESTROOMS TO BE MORE MAINTENANCE..AND THE WATER SINCE PEOPLE DO WALK AND HAVE PETS.. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF PEOPLE STILL USE THE WATER FOUNTAIN???

  • Will Culver

My daughter has T-ball practice here, on occasion. It's a nice enough park, but I literally picked up a syringe off the ground and threw it in the trash. Port-A-John didn't have a lock. Kid opened the door on me. Talk about awkward. I can see why though. Someone would probably live in it, if it did.

  • Monica Ramos

Nice skate park, has a playground for young kids, there's two basketball courts, picnic tables available, two pavilions. There's a baseball field towards the back. A quarter mile paved walking/running trail. Grass field for football. Has large porta potty and a couple of water fountains.

  • Christina Martinez

I love that it has a playground w swings for babies, its can be fun for the whole family though. It has a track, basketball court, skate area, picnic areas, benches, soft floors in play area, baseball diamond, even water fountain for yr pets. Also its well lit at night.

  • lunatic27 062309

We only go to the football field, which isnt much of a field,mostly dirt, ants and old bleachers, the parking lot fits maybe 15 cars, so u have to park across the street from the field & people in cars dont look out for the players, speeding in front of the field area

  • donny fonseca

Nice park, really good place to run. The cement track is nice, no cracks, it's even and winds around the football field and basketball area. Families and other kids having a good time. Parking area is a little small but not a real big deal. Very clean area.

  • Marc B

Although small in size this park remains clean, and has a nice playground with a shaded seated area for parents to watch their kids. The two basketball courts and track are nice additions. Lastly the skatepark is great for kids who don't want to just hoop.

  • Laura LaQue

Really nice park with shade and pavilions w/tables if u want to throw a bday party or baby shower. They don't have any work out stations or machines like most parks do but there is a skate part if u like to skateboard. Overall still a great local park

  • Doche' Molinar

Hate that it's a portapotty. It's disgusting. We walk to CVS to use the restroom or go to Walmart. Always trash, food and crumbs everywhere which isn't the parks fault itself, People just don't clean up after themselves and so it's birds

  • kristy8761

Good Place to Bring the Kid's nice playground & Skateboard Area & Basketball Court which includes a Pavilion for Party gathering's with BBQ Pit's. Soccer field aka Baseball Field, Volleyball . Awesome place for Summer!

  • Lady Deth

Got to spend quality time with my family super happy the kids had a spot to play basket ball court ,skate area, walkin trail and especially love the covered area near the park for me & my family to relax & chill under

  • James Hastedt

I'm sure that when it doesn't rain all week it's a nice park. However when I went the grass was 10 inches tall and the mosquitoes were horrible. The bench seating at the ball park is rotten and barely holding on.

  • Jason B

Terrible skatepark. It was badly designed. I love to skateboard but I don’t want to skate here. It’s like they just poured concrete anywhere and didn’t put thought into it. Waste of city money.

  • Giovanny Quinones

The skatepark needs more picnic tables, the city takes them away instead of putting up new ones. It’s missing like 4 tables that used to be there back in the day. Overall the park is badass

  • jon cantu

This park was around when I was a kid but adding the skate park was a plus, so now it caters to both my children ages 5 and 13 while allowing them to both enjoy the skatepark

  • Melanie Vasquez

Renovation to the park, for eg., expanded parking lot and larger skateboard rink for kids is a huge improvement.
