Alright here's the deal. This parks a little run down, but it mostly seems like people and maintenance issues.
The neighborhood itself seems fine, but there seemed to be people treating it on the e pescadero side as a park & ride. Men standing around waiting for people to pick them up, and a questionable transaction happening where someone was buying goods from a car that rolled up to meet them.
Apart from that, the provided dog poop bags were empty and probably haven't been filled in quite some time. There seemed to unusual amounts of cat and/or dog poop in the lawn and even on the sidewalk in two separate places.
This didn't make it a very welcoming park for our family.
All that aside, we opted to keep the soccer ball in the car and just play on the play structures and swings. The play structure itself was in good shape for its age, and had some fun interesting features to it.
There's lots of shades along the walking paths and around the picnic areas, which is a nice feature also.
We ended up leaving because someone on a bike showed up and sat down at the picnic tables to smoke. We were downwind of it, and I don't want that in my kids lungs. The park could benefit from some better signage for the rules (no smoking!)
I know the city has this one up for talks for a remodel, I hope they can do some things to deter all the men from using the park as a place for dealing, smoking, ect. And make it more family friendly. I don't think I'd come here without my husband given the things we've witnessed. This neighborhood deserves a clean, safe place to play with their kiddos! read more
