    The playground is great and the new splash pad is just enough without being overwhelming.

    They have a new water park, playground, picnic shelter and lots of tables. Big trees with shade, tennis courts, a bathroom and an open area for playing in a field.

    Fun little park. There are some swings, monkey bars, a slide, etc. for the kids. A couple covered areas for eating, and bathrooms. Not a huge park but fun for an hour or so.

    Very very few lions, didn't see a single one to be perfectly honest, however it was a very nice walk around, really awesome parking since they did the renovation!

    Excellent chill park for kiddos and family. They have what looks like a rentable gazebo with a barbecue and seating for about 50 under a covered area that is well spaced out. There are two tennis courts in a bit of need of some minor upkeep, a splash pad, a grass volleyball court, and a place for two horseshoe games. Has a cool high slide with a mini climbing wall up to it, a bit dangerous but I think that's actually good. Not really a chance of serious injury. There are 2 baby swings, a handicap swing, and a smaller standard swing. Smaller play area with slide for little littles and a set of monkey bars. Well shaded and would go again with my little terrorists. Unfortunately, they seem to turn off the splash pad when school starts, even on the following weekends with hot weather. However it is probably the best splash pad in the immediate area. My kids constantly, repeatedly, and angrily demand to go "the water park." In fact it's so good I almost wish I had never gone due to the constant audible abuse when the water was in-fact turned off. Oh I almost forget, there is like this crazy swing of death that actually seems sort of safe but gives 90's wild west playground vibes. A a a a a a a a a a. A

    Lions park is a nice little spot to hang out and have a picnic. The facilities in this park include permanent restrooms, a covered area with tables, a fenced tennis court and parking.

    It’s a cute low key park. It was designed with attention to detail, for example finding all the lions, and the different animal footprint on the stone path in the field. They also had a little push button spray sprinkler, which was a hidden gem when my daughter was little, it was never crowded and that was the best part. Plus it’s right next to Big Toms and who wouldn’t enjoy walking from the part yo get a milk shake ? And see dinosaurs?

    Cute little neighborhood park in a great community. A fun playground for different developmental levels, a spray ground for summertime fun, tennis court, basketball hoop, a little field for baseball or whatever, a covered picnic area as well as quite a few picnic tables dispersed all around the edges. There is a building with two single toilets family style bathrooms, but the doors are often locked.

    For the small size this is an excellent park. Nice picnic tables under beautiful huge (old growth?) trees. Playground is excellent for kids. Nice covered reservable meeting area.

    I've always enjoyed this park. Family oriented. Staff takes care with restroom 🚺. It was a nice afternoon for us. Thanks

    I like this part a lot. Perfect place to go eat your hamburger and tots from Eastside Big Tom's. A lot of grass to run in. There's even a tennis court. Not too much parking on the main side but you can park around the perimeter if you need to. There are play structures to play on and some picnic tables. There's even a covered area in the middle that you can rent. It's pretty nice for an outdoor structure. There are even bathrooms which they seem to stay on top of but who knows day to day. It's there in case of emergency...

  • 3/5 j x. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a giant field. It's clean. I'm not sure about the area. But looks like a good spot to just run around.

    This park was a special place for my 6 yr old daughter. Children are friendly and the play structures were very entertaining for our child.

  • 4/5 Amber G. 10 months ago on Google
    This park is always fun for my kiddo. Bathrooms could be better , but otherwise cool park , lots of shade, seating and they're currently updating it as well!

  • 4/5 John A. 10 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed the tennis courts, the field and the playground look as good as always (pretty darn good) and they look to be adding some stuff. Looks like water spouts and cool summer stuff to come.

  • 5/5 Marcellas F. 9 months ago on Google
    So good to see a water park over there awesome. Thank you

  • 5/5 Harold H. 9 months ago on Google
    I love this park, and it looks like they are adding a small water feature, which will be great for the summers.

  • 3/5 Billie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Could be 4 to 5: stars. Needs some TLC and a little love to be a great park. Would love to see it get there. Lots of beautiful old trees that provide plenty of shade on the hot days. Playground is adequate. The park just needs some updating to get to a 4 or 5 star park.

    Perfect place to hold an event. Enjoyed a birthday party there. Very kid friendly. Clean and convenient. Tennis court and lovely playground. Shelter available for reasonable fee. Shelter has water, electricity, and room for about 35 people. Will recommend to friends and family.

    My family and I really enjoy visiting this park. There is always something to do and very nice people and other kids to enjoy the park with.

  • 4/5 Danielle B. 1 year ago on Google
    This park has great toys but they are geared toward an older child. My toddlers weren't 100% sure what to do on the structures except for like 1 thing.

  • 4/5 Lauren B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local park. The playground has a " rock" wall for the kiddos to climb and a few other unique toys. Bathrooms are well kept.
