Very nice park with something for all ages. You can reserve the covered picnic tables for 2.5 hours which we did for a child's birthday party. Room to bring extra tables and chairs (another group brought a party tent). Great playground area for little to big kids, paved paths for little scooters and riding toys, gentle walking trails, open grassy area for bubbles, game of catch, but not adult stuff(eg. no flag football). Parking lot filled up quickly but there is some street parking in the neighborhood. Lovely park.

We hosted a family get together here on 5/25/25. We had an amazing time. The kids loved the playground. The park was incredibly clean and beautiful. There were hummingbirds buzzing around. The large pavilion was spacious. When I called to reserve a spot, Christina Mendoza helped me and she was very kind and helpful. Overall, we loved it and would come back.

Adventures at Bub Williamson Park! Okay, okay, okay..so this park is not for the sports athletes...as there are no courts, fields to play sports....however, comma , if you have children, this is quite an exciting area to climb, jump, etc. To be honest, with my plantar fasciitis, the soft corny ground for children to jump around is quite soothing for the constant pain in my foot. Okay, enough whining...hm There is even a music play area for children.. Dog park area, and for those wanting exercise via Steps, there is a trail that is out and back, and I must say, with all the palm trees and other thick vegetation that provides shade cover, this is a must when alone, or walking a dog... Enjoy the park!

Such a great updated park with tons of space and an amazing playground! Great for parties. You can even reserve the covered areas. But there’s plenty of space even if you don’t reserve. The details were well thought out. Places everywhere for parents to sit and observe, tons of climbing areas, a music section with a stone abacus, 2 special needs swings and even a great CLEAN restroom with changing table! We had a great time!

Such a fun park, it just reopened and the kids love it. So much to explore, they have 6 swings (2 baby, 2 regular, and 2 disabled big kid kinds), 4 slides, multiple rock climbing areas, caves to explore, a musical area, a roller slide that all the kids loved, a sit and spin type toy and so much more. We didn’t explore the exercise stations or the trails yet but it was a great large park with lots of space to sit down, has shade, has water fountains, has restrooms, and has covered picnic tables.
