Came here on a weekend afternoon and this time, we hit the pickleball courts. I've not even been to…read morethis part of the park, could've fooled me, all this time I thought these were tennis courts, haha. Just goes to show how much I know. My kids started playing pickleball, and came to a clinic taught be a coach. It was good times. The courts are nice, they are heavily used according to the wife, as tons of people from all around town come here to play quite competitively in the mornings. Recreational players who are so good, they look like pros to us. Anyways, lots of retired folks and others who come to play because this is a great sport for all. Well, the kids look like they have enjoyed it so far, it looks to be fun. There's 6 courts here and very spacious. Nets look in good condition, courts look good too, the pavement looks a little worn here and there, but I also could tell it's all kept up pretty well. The fence here is good too, so it's pretty secluded, there's some seating w/a couple of tables w/a shaded patio cover right by the courts for resting if not playing. I took a few pictures of the BBQ area so I'd remember how much room there is for future parties, plenty of picnic tables and the water feature/spray park area is nice too. That part won't start till after Memorial Day, according to the wife. It was windy the day we came for pickleball, but I ended up playing a few games too after the clinic ended, and wife and I both had a good workout and it was fun. Must work these old bones or we'll fall apart, haha We'll be back.

This park is awesome! I came here to meet a friend with my 17 month old daughter. Her daughter is 2…read moreand we were going specifically for the splash pad. Once they warmed up to it they had a ton of fun! My daughter loved it! She was soaked once we left. You control the water from poles and a circle on one of the palm trees. There were a ton of kids but everyone was well behaved. We went to the playground after and it was really nice as well. Two separate, one for toddlers and one for older kids. More than just a playground I'm just not sure what the other play equipment would be called. Big bathrooms and lots of table to sit and eat. Can't wait til the trees are grown in here, could use a little more shade, but great as it!! Would recommend this park!!

This park is a hidden gem! I had no idea it existed until I was looking up places to feed ducks at…read morewith my toddlers. We came on a Saturday evening around 6 pm and it was not crowded like most parks in EG. It has so much to offer! A huge open area of grass free to let your dogs and/or kids run, fly kites, have a picnic or if you're looking for a peaceful stroll there is also a serene trail to walk. The park is very unique and had my 3 year old so busy running up and down that massive hill, haha! My husband brought up a good point that they didn't have any swings to go on. Not a deal breaker for me but heads up for parents who have kids that love those. We did end up having dinner here to allow more playtime for our 3 year old. They have a few concrete picnic tables by the park and some more underneath their covered space by the water. Unlike EG Park, they had chest height fencing which was a plus because we're always scared for our kids falling in to the water. The fence didn't impede the view for us or our kids. They were all able to see the ducks, turtles, and birds as we fed them. I'd also like to add that these birds and ducks are not as aggressive as EG Park! I'd love to come back here again with a few toys to extend our visit and maximize all the amenities this park has to offer.

There is a playground for young and older kids, pool, trails, picnic areas. It was hot the day I went so I'd recommend maybe heading out earlier in the day. There were shady areas in the park though for picnics or at the playground. I saw turtles, ducks, birds, and fish. Such a neat park. My grandkids will love it. Plenty of parking and open space.

There are 4 beautiful baseball fields with restrooms (that were locked because there weren't any games being played. There are extensive concrete sidewalks all over the park. The description indicates a skatepark (which is south of the dog park) but it was a disappointment and very small. (just a few grinding steps) There was a full basketball court and a community center building It's a large, beautiful park with a splash park by the playground. No convenient restrooms were the one negative for us.

Right next to Bartholomew Park, you'll find one of my favorite simple pleasures in the area--a huge…read moreopen grassy space that somehow always feels peaceful even when people are enjoying it. This park isn't about playground structures or a ton of built features. It's really about the space. The grassy field is massive, and on weekends you'll usually see soccer teams practicing, families tossing a ball around, or people spreading out blankets for picnics. One of my favorite things when I'm walking my dogs is just seeing people stretched out in the grass enjoying the park. There's something about that scene that makes the whole neighborhood feel calm and connected. The park also sits right along the lake, which gives you beautiful water views on both sides. Every walk feels a little different depending on the light and the season. I've seen swans gliding across the water more than once, and oddly enough I've even spotted koi fish in there too. I've been walking my dogs here daily since the 90s when we first moved to Laguna West, and it's still something I genuinely look forward to every single day. That says a lot about a park. Small moment I love: the summer sunsets here are incredible. When the sun drops over the lake and the sky starts glowing, it turns an everyday dog walk into something that feels pretty special. Helpful tip: If you're looking for a quiet place to relax, bring a blanket and sit closer to the water's edge. The breeze off the lake makes it one of the most peaceful spots in the neighborhood. Some parks are about activities. This one is about slowing down--and after all these years, it still does that perfectly.

Named after Elizabeth Pinkerton who is nationally recognized for her innovative and creative thinking. Built in 2008 this park offers a large playground with swings for the kids, a half basketball court, a covered structure gazebo with BBQ, open play area, and is also connected to walking trails on either side of the park . The only issues that I found were : location of the park was next to a busy intersection ! And parking was limited to street parking only. But over-all this is a lovely community park that offers it neighbors a safe and clean place for the kids to play, and for active adults with their miles of hiking trial. I will definitely be back in warmer weather to take advantage of their walking trials. A park that offers amenities for children and adults deserves a solid "3 Stars !"
