This is one of our favorite parks to visit. The playground is great for kids, and they have basketball courts, pickleball courts (my personal favorite), and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. There’s a large covered area with tables for parties and gatherings, though the tables definitely should have been updated a long time ago. The bathrooms could also use an upgrade. Overall, we love coming here as a family and always have a good time.

This park is huge. There are play structures, many ball fields, pickle ball courts, a nice community pool, a stream runs through it and I logged a 2.5 mile walk on paths and around the perimeter. It's a lovely park

The swimming pool has a great swim team for 6 yrs and up to 18 years. They're called sunrise sharks. We often walk the paths, and they have very peaceful areas. It's beautiful in the evening. The parks are full of kids playing, and we love having our little play and socializing there. Be aware that there are areas with homeless/ the smell of drugs being smoked. They don't go around the children areas but just want full transparency in my review. Some restrooms are cleaner than others.

Lots of space to hang out. Clean and nice place to play with the kids.

Also, loved the covered area with tables and chairs, great for parties 🥳 Right by it, there is grilling area, all you need just charcoal 🌭🍔 All together, great park for the whole family P.S has public restrooms that ARE clean 🥰
