Mostly use the pool in the Aquatics Center, but have also used their dog park which is nice - they have two large fenced areas that have some tennis balls for playing fetch. They have well-maintained basketball courts, a skateboard park that is very popular, and hiking trails. There are also well-maintained soccer fields. Plenty of parking.

Beautiful playground in the middle of the woods. Love the colors of this playground too! It only has one slide, a twisty slide, but has a curved tunnel to crawl through and a circular monkey bars as well. Also has a little playground for the one-year-old kiddies. The park has two different parking lots, and, is MUCH closer to one of em than it is the other. Make sure ya know which parking lot you’re in when ya go there. The park also has basketball, baseball, soccer fields, as well as an aquatic center building, and a skate park!

A beautiful place that is always well maintained. People are always taking care of it when I'm there. It's a great spot to go with your baby in a stroller and walk around if you need steps. Has a lot of shade and a lot of spaces for you to get some sun. It's everything in one -a baseball field ,soccer field ,basketball court ,dog park ,playground you name it. I also feel safe there which is a big for me.

Rented the picnic area for my son’s 9th birthday. Had to ask people obviously living there to leave so I could set up his party. The place has been trashed and used as an ashtray so I couldn’t use it. Not family friendly. Epic fail.

Utterly inaccessible. Playgrounds, fields, etc are all out of reach if you have limited mobility. No maps are available to help you figure out where anything is, and the signage is terrible, so enjoy tromping around in pain trying to figure out whether the left path or the right path is the one meant to be "straight ahead." I was hoping to enjoy a nice day with my kid but this place turned it into a high pain day.
