Most people haven't even heard of SFS and if they have it's mostly known for commercial business rather than beautiful scenery. This park is so serene, even on a weekend!

The park hosts a few events during the year but if you visit on a random day, you're likely to find yourself enjoying the history of the park, the area and the peacefulness nature brings.

There's places to sit and eat, open grass are to have picnics, work out, let our dog run around, and even a play ground for kids to enjoy along with a full size basketball court with the floor smooth enough to bring your roller skates! I highly recommend to bring your family here for some fresh out door activities. Only giving 4 stars cause I'd prefer a better restroom but for a park it's not bad I'm just picky lol

Most of the people wound up on the grass to have lunch. I didn't move fast enough and was all sunburned going home. On some Saturdays during the summer they have games, crafts, and activities.

This park is near the 5 and 605 freeways. It was not too crowded on the Sunday mornings that I visited earlier this year.

It provides a safe space and welcoming environment, while offering a sense of community for those in need. This year's turnout was amazing as individuals shared their personal experiences and spoke of the importance of PHA and how being a part of this association has changed their lives. Pulmonary Hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries, which carries blood from the heart to the lungs becomes too high. The work this association has and continues to do is remarkable, which is why I will continue to be a supporter. If you know anyone with this disease, I would encourage you to share this association with them.

Overall, a clean, well-kept park with plenty of space and good courts definitely worth checking out.

The lake area with the little church in the background is a nice touch, makes it feel more relaxing and not just your typical park. Good walking paths, plenty of grass, and nice spots to just sit and chill. Everything felt well kept and safe, which is a big plus when you're bringing kids. Plenty of room so it didn't feel overcrowded either. Only thing watch out for duck poop on the walkways and grass, especially near the water. Overall, great spot for families. Definitely coming back

There is even an area to play horseshoes. I grew up playing horseshoes. I'll be coming back to challenge my family members and have a little picnic here. They also installed bathrooms here!!!! There is a full-size basketball court, so bring your shooting skills. One of the main reasons why I have my eyes set foot on this particular park or property is there is a much bigger lot connected to the park for on-site camping ! Yes, I've never heard of on-site camping in the city. I'm a camper and can hardly get out of the city to camp. I am very curious. Never heard such a thing.

Please be sure when you visit to close both gates on your way in and out and clean up after your fur baby.

Highly recommend these courts for pickleball too because there are a lot of courts, friendly players and it's not too advanced of play.

I forget exactly. When I run to the restroom from the tennis/pickleball area, which looks exactly like your average park restroom. I see people on the playground and other pickleball courts (3 in the middle) (2 on side). The track is crowded too! The parking does get full in the evening so you may need to park on the street.
