👍👍 I go to the tennis club located behind the park, but I had a chance to walk to the park and took it. Nice quiet place to hang out. People often mention park, nice, clean, area, trash, Nice, Great, kids, time, play,

    I came across this park driving through the Groove Pointe area and came back because it was so beautiful, clean, safe and peaceful. This is a wonderful neighborhood and open park space perfect for kids and adults alike.

    I think there should be more a police presence because alot of ppl walk their dogs and often without a leash while kids play soccer it's not too safe.

    Nice park, lots of grass, decent neighborhood. Not really any facilities.

  • 3/5 Merry N. 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews
    I had a peaceful and pleasant time with family and friends. It was very clean and well-kept. I would like to see more of the handicapped assessable areas available with activities. I'm a wheelchair user, it was not easy getting around the park! Thank you for hearing my point of view and concern 😟 🙏💯❗🥰

    This is such a large and beautiful family-friendly park. An we had a small family gathering and it was safe and beautiful. The police were circling the park but weren't bothering anyone which made me feel safe seeing that the park was crowded in several areas of the park and I don't like to be and crowded areas so I felt safe. I must say it was my first time going and I loved it. It was clean and the children's playground area had lots to offer. Well, I can say my grandchildren enjoyed themselves lol. I will most definitely visit this park again.

    LAST SUMMER this was a really nice park where I took my grandkids & they had a BLAST! (My original review was 5⭐'s) My UPDATE Review this SUMMER is wishing I didn't even have to give it the 1⭐ The grass hasn't been CUT - The plastic fencing that's placed around the park late in the fall season to combat the winter weather is still up & it's LATE JUNE!! The children's playscape area has a See Saw with NO SEATS on it!! Broken glass & trash was scattered all around the area!! The Zip line was out of service!! I've been back with them to check out the park 3 times since late May & there's been ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES @ ALL!! This is UNACCEPTABLE.... I definitely WON'T be making another VISIT!!

    It's winter, so there aren't many people frequenting the park. There is a lot of space to walk, play soccer, and a kids' playground. The dog park would be better if there was grass and not two areas of mud.

  • 5/5 Rotchie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Balduck was nice! It's not a park with swings and slide where the team was. We were at the baseball field. No a lot of parking but it worked. Had a good time watching the kids play baseball.

  • 2/5 Carmen H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Brent Collins I. 2 years ago on Google
    For those who are interested in checking out smaller parks, this is the one! As much as I enjoy Chandler parks vast areas, balduck Park is just as nice. It has a walking area to view the majority of the park, there are a ridiculous amount of oak trees, so be careful of falling acorns, and the squirrels are pleasant to be around. Would definitely recommend coming during the spring Time, or later in fall as the leaves change. The best part is less traffic to deal with.

    It's within walking distance. Nice little space. Don't like tht they moved the dog park part of it to behind some bleachers.people wld bring their dogs n we wld shoot the breeze while they played. Also sick of trash being strewn around. Get Lil park all in all

    It's a nice park. But lately ppl come out having family reunions and birthday parties leaving trash everywhere blowing in the wind. Some neighbors in the area voluntarily picks some of trash up during weekends, but ppl having gathering trash it right back up!

  • 1/5 Crystal n. 3 years ago on Google
    Received a parking ticket, my vehicle wasn't near the no parking sign so they clearly need more signs in the designated area, I wouldn't have parked there if so. The restroom has no doors so, use it at ur own risk.

    it is a great park with a nice small trail, soccer field, and picnic tables but it is filthy. please if you go here bring a trash bag because the trash cans are also over filling. everywhere you look there are plastic bags, cans, bottles, wrappers, and chip bags.
