There were multiple parties at the park and they were so far from each other which is nice way to feel like we had a space all to ourselves. Ton of tables and shade for picnicking.

Beautiful and scenic park perfect for picnics! Perfect for all ages and pets…read more I celebrated my friend's birthday at this park and I had a good experience here! Parking was easy since there is a parking lot. However, it can get filled quickly and luckily I was able to snag a spot. Not sure what the other parking options are when the lot runs out. The park itself is super nice! It's hilly and vibrantly green. My favorite part is you have a great view of the city up top from the hill. The grass is also comfy to sit on. They have a playground, several picnic tables, and a bathroom too. There were several other groups celebrating occasions there, but it was not too crowded. A perfect option for nice weather. I would definitely recommend this park as a great picnic option and would visit again.

I've been visiting for a year on a weekly basis. One thing to be mindful for are the horse scat droppings that some horse riders apparently are careless to pick after. I've walked during the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening time. I've felt safe during all times of day and even bring my family on weekends.

There are so many fields of grass that I believe are used for sports and then a lake that's for fishing it looks really clean and well maintained. The grass that I saw was soft and green with wildflowers, I did not see any foxtails so that's a plus! This would be a great location to bring my dog to walk and play and there's tons of trees providing shade! Looking across the way and seeing the actual Damn is pretty cool, it looks like a very grand structure!

This place is deceptively small. I almost missed it driving here. I had been to the pizza place…read morenext door, would have never guessed it was here. It was small but I guess that's all my daughter needed. Looks more of a party spot as the front had tables and chairs and had a balloon arch. The back half was a small ball pit, a small trampoline, some toys and some squishy play areas. It was $15 an hour but you probably don't need more than that. It was 90 degrees outside, has to ask the guy to turn on the AC, which he did. Overall this place was okay - mostly clean but they could have kept it up better since no one else was there. Also a few broken toys.

The staff is super friendly and absolutely incredible in many many ways ... they helps us with so much of the food setup and decorating and even helped us during the ceremony. The playground itself is sooo fun and so interactive, so many games and activities available for all ages. The patio area was so beautiful and relaxing. The bathrooms were so clean and so convenient if you have young kids with diapers. Overall my experience was so positive and lovely that we can't wait to go back for open play time and to have family events and even my sons birthday there. Thank you again for your wonderful staff.

As a parent the thing I hate most is how nasty the bathrooms always are... NOT HERE! This place was…read moreSO CLEAN! We came in for a party and everything was so clean and I was shocked! And the kids that work there the sweetest teen/ young adult kids were there and their parents should be proud they were so sweet even when reprimanding the kids jumping being out of control these young men showed fantastic patience. The check in process needs some work. Seems like a system to streamline check ins would be a good change up. Overall can't wait to come back. I felt so secure with my 7 year old running around in there. And I can't stress enough how clean everything was I usually feel like I need to be bathed in purell after these jump places. Not this time. We can't wait to come back!

I visited Jumping Club recently and was concerned by what I witnessed. From my experience, the…read morefloors did not seem to be adequately monitored. While there, I observed a couple near the bungalows kissing and groping each other in a children's play area while their kids played nearby. What was most concerning was that staff did not appear to address the situation. I also noticed that many of the employees assigned to the play areas were sitting down and talking among themselves rather than actively monitoring the floor. As a parent, I did not feel comfortable having my children around that type of behavior in a family-oriented environment. Because of this experience, even though we are locals, we have chosen not to continue giving this business our support. I believe closer supervision and more attentive staff presence would help create a safer and more appropriate atmosphere for families. This was our experience and a reply/justification attempt will not change it.

I agree with the other reviews - there are homeless and druggies that hang out here...but I will…read morealso say that the park rangers have done a good job in cleaning up and taking out homeless encampments. I've also seen police cruisers go by a lot- particularly at night. It was interesting to watch, and this happened a few days before Christmas...they took a truck and drove it onto the grounds and, no warning, park workers started hauling off this homeless couple's mattress, tent, grocery carts and other belongings. The couple scrambled to grab a few things. I had definite mixed feelings about it. The park can be very quiet and pretty otherwise. There are two play areas with new equipment, a baseball field, a little skate park, tennis courts and a senior center. There's a post office and church and convalescent home right across the street. There's a picnic area with a few tables and what looks to be an old stone fireplace. There are lots of pine trees and pine cones during most of the year which brings squirrels. The larger parking lot - there are two of them- serves as a Christmas tree recycling drop off (as you'll see from my pictures). There's also a veteran's memorial out front and the July 4th parade goes right past it. Overall, a generally safe and quiet place - but stay aware of the riffraff when they appear...
