    We love the playground is safe for toddlers and school age children. We really like how the dog park is gated and close to the playground. There's a tennis court, basketball card and even a skateboard area. Plenty of parking and a recreation park. Also there's tiny tots. Definitely recommend this park for a party a picnic or even a Sunday morning walk.

    I called this morning inquiring about a hall rental, and Ryan Michel the supervisor, returned my call in a timely manner. He was very professional, polite and well informed on the different pricing and needed documents. Rare to find such good workers nowadays. Management please recognize this individual! Thank you Ryan!!!

    Nice off-leash dog park in the Very back with grass, trees, and a complete barrier between Large and Small dog parks. Bags provided, and safety exit gates installed. There is also a nice jogging/hiking path that winds through the park, that is flat enough for small children to be ok during a walk. Very scenic if you continue past the park on that path, with plenty of trees. There's a large sports field, public restrooms, a basic skate park, free "slot" parking throughout, along with "loading zones" parking. There's also a few scattered open areas with grass that would be good for picnics, group gatherings. There are no BBQ grills that I saw but there are a few shaded gazebos, benches and a large playground. If playing soccer/football/rugby/lacrosse etc, you will need to bring your own equipment and marking cones because there are no goal posts and (possibly due to covid-19) no lines at the moment. Park is well kept, even right now, they come out and now and do landscaping. There is small wild life present like squirrels and rabbits, but I haven't seen deer or coyotes. It is very close to the school and the park is located in a residential area. Everything has reopened as of Sept 1st, 2020.

    We have always loved Montevalle the moment we set our eyes on it. So.. family friendly..

    Great place to spend time outdoors! The whole area was surrounded by trees, giving the feeling if being away from the hustle & bustle of city life. My only issue was that the only restrooms were at the Center, which was about a 5-8 minute walk from the gazebo where we were celebrating. For adults, it wasn't a big deal. But, for kids, it could be a journey. Overall, though, it ranks pretty high as a great park & rec center to have a picnic, celebrate an event, or to play some sports.

    Our dog loves this place a great park for a picnic with the kids and their families

  • 4/5 Peter F. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice, clean park with separate big and small dog off leash areas. People still don't recognize the difference and let their dogs off the leash before they are fenced in, so beware.

    Parking can be a little tricky on Tuesdays at 6, but it clears out fairly quickly. It is a beautiful park to play, walk, run, or hike. The facilities offer 2 playgrounds, fields for baseball, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, and dance studios, as well as large fields for soccer, lacrosse, football, and rugby.

    Hostile architecture bathroom sucks. Gimme a shower curtain.

  • 5/5 Kass H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place! Perfect for the baby shower that was held there! Close to a playground for younger kids and the bathrooms were clean!

  • 3/5 David H. 1 year ago on Google
    Underutilized space. The playground is nice. Good fenced in dog park. Basketball courts are nice. Skate park is basically non-existent. The car chargers on the outside are not working.

  • 4/5 Steven K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good park. Has a little bit of everything. I enjoy the dog park. It separates the big dogs from the small dogs

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 1 year ago on Google
    I like this park alot. There are baby swings and a side for toddlers to access more easily with smaller slides. It has a dog park right next to it, plenty of parking, big grass fields, a little skate park area and rec center that has day care and other services . There are walking trails behind the playground and rec center too. The public restrooms are nearby, but don't have doors FYI. And theres are a few tables under some shade, but they are not very clean. Its a nice area, and usually isn't too busy during weekdays before school gets out. Theres a nearby elementary school, so I go before 2pm usually.

    Great facility. But it's hot outside--and nice and cool inside. When practice starts at 2pm, don't leave 25 kids and their coaches baking outside while staring at them from an empty gym through glass doors until the clock reads 2:00 on the dot.

    Such a fun playground for all ages. The paths behind the facility are beautiful for walks and photo shoots.

  • 5/5 Ileana C. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a nice, large playground for kids. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Love that there are so many options to choose from for extracurricular activities. Such as, tennis, indoor and outdoor basketball, a skate park, open fields.

    Large park for the entire family, including pets, to enjoy. Nice area for gatherings. If not busy, it's very relaxing.
