    Love seeing all the ladies work out in the morning. We got here at 8am but it was already heating up. We did as much playing as we could.

    I have never been here but was told about it. It is a nice park, very clean, and well maintained. Plenty of different places to park. I didn't know there was an observatory there.

    Perfect place for celebrations, my family and I have been coming here for 30 years. I gave 4 stars because the bathrooms and playground need to be updated.

    A nice place to have an afternoon lunch or weekend party. At one of their BBQ pavilions. It offers an observatory, baseball diamonds, basketball courts, and even a BMX locals riding area with jumps. An over all great place for daily fun and weekend activities.

    It’s a great place. Definitely needs a clean up. A thorough once every 3 month cleanup. Clear out all the spider webs, pull the weeds. Wish there were more trees and the bathroom wasn’t up hill. Was too tired to go to the bathroom after walking to it. But otherwise a great little park with no people experiencing homelessness.

    Great place to celebrate any occasions. From birthday parties to company picnics. There are 2 play areas for the kids, along with he infamous lion waterfall. Just over the field there are two baseball fields across from one another and a full basketball court. There is also a small trail that goes around the baseball fields. There are two parking lots, which means two entry ways to this park. There is also an observatory center there that is open Saturday through su day from 2 p m to 4 p m.

    On the map, it looks huge but most of it is fenced and not accessible to the public. The accessible area is nice and green. There are playground and sitting areas. Good for jogging and exercise.

    This is a nice quiet park that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the city life! There's a decent walk way where you can walk around with a giant base ball field that's open. The play ground is ok, not the best. It's a very good park if you want to have a picnic, there's tons of tables open and a lot of grassy area that is nice to sit around.

  • 5/5 Melissa Ann K. 4 years ago on Google
    By far, this is my favorite park to bring my son to. It is very clean and well cared for. Most of the times, especially between 1230-2, the park is empty and we get to enjoy the playground area without having to wait. The weekend is a different story, the park is very busy. Families barbecue and have parties, so it can be quite difficult to have any uninterrupted space. There is also a basketball court and baseball field for people to use, as well as a museum that is only open on the weekend.

  • 5/5 Richard N. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice, quiet park. Good for walking, slow biking, kids' playground. Plenty of grassy area. Hills add variety to the landscape. Picnic shelter is nice too.

  • 4/5 Bart M. 11 months ago on Google
    Great small Park to just walk around and enjoy the scenery. There's a museum and a observatory that is open to the public. The playground and baseball field and basketball courts are really nice. Glad they added the fences for the basketball courts because the balls would fall down the hill. Good amount of dogs that walk around with their owners if you want to socialize your dog. Baseball field gets pretty packed with games starting from Junior league's to high school leagues. Parking can be a hassle since it's a limited amount and you may have to park on the streets. There is also tennis courts at the top of the hill that you can park as well. Some of the trails have a lot of weeds and can be difficult to go through sometimes but just follow the paved roads.

  • 5/5 Christi A. 10 months ago on Google
    Awesome, place to do walks, and get togethers ( parties). Love how there is parking every time we are at the park. Pet friendly, even if it's leash on. It makes us feel 7 everyone seems to pick up after their dog, which keeps the park clean.

  • 5/5 andrea v. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this park, very nice and clean! We celebrated my son's 1st birthday here and everyone loved it and had a great time, especially the kids!

  • 5/5 Pauline S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very peaceful, private park. They have two playgrounds, basketball courts, a rec center, and a huge, I mean HUGE field. At night it's nice and bright so it made me feel very safe, taking the kids there to play and practice soccer. Restrooms are open late too!

  • 4/5 Colwynn D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little park tucked away in a small canyon. Not a lot of shade, so it does get very hot in Summer.

  • 5/5 Nelson K. 3 years ago on Google
    Spacious with a nice little dining area with tables and benches under shade. There's a kid's playground, as well as a walking trail. Somewhat hilly.

    I visited the park, I went to vote early on Monday. It was very easy, in and out in ten minutes. They werr several voting machines . There was several people to assist you, if you needed help. Will return if I don't mail my ballot this coming November.

  • 4/5 Roberto R. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great Place to host parties or family reunions! The area isn't very crowded and cost about $180 to rent it out. The restrooms could be renovated and improved, but other than that it's a solid park to spend a great peaceful time with your loved ones!
