Where is the best place to park if you want to go do the intense stairs workout? How long does it take to do the stairs workout (to go up and down)?

Can dogs go?

I did see dogs there. Some off leashes!

Is it free?

Yes! 100%... also various places to park

Is it open on weekends?

Yes it is

Do everyone know this park open?

Yes, 6am-8pm. It's best to go there early because once 7am hit on Saturday, there were a lot more people at the park!

Are the stairs open?

Yes, the stairs are open. I've been going for the past few weeks. I'd say about 30% of people wear masks while climbing the stairs -I'm not sure if this matters to you, but I thought I'd let you know ahead of time.

Are their strange people there? Is it safe?

There are occasional homeless people near the middle of the park, but never near the main playground on the Southeastern most corner. I have taken my son to the playground, had family pictures taken in various areas of the park grounds, and gone on… Read more

What time do the stairs workout area close?

They close at sun down. They lock the parking lot so if you dont exit in time your car can get locked up there.

How early am I able to show up and do the stairs? Do they "open" at a certain time or can I show up as early as I feel?

Their "hours" are from sunrise to sunset. So depending on the season it varies

Such a beautiful park, shaded and nice. We there to celebrate our best friend's son's birthday. It…read morewas so hot lol but we had a blast. Not a lot of parking here but they do have picnic tables and a cute park area and you can also bring ride on things, skateboards, scooters and bikes. It's a spacious park big inviting and pretty. They have some shade because they have a lot of trees, but it's nice to bring an easy up for birthdays because it does get quite hot out there. But I do love this park. It's pretty nice big and lots of plant area for the kids. I would recommend checking this out. It's nice for picnics too. Have a beautiful day, be kind to everyone :) Aloha

This was a nice little park we decided to visit on the whim. It seemed to be well-maintained and…read morehad several slides! We went around 5:30 on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, probably about 4 other kids there. Like I said, I really liked how many slides there were-- in the small kid area there were 4 (one being a double slide, so 5) and the bigger kid side had 2 taller slides. My kid had fun playing on both sides. They also have swings and a cool little gyro-spinning thing for the kids. We did visit the bathroom while there and it was pretty no frills, but several rolls of toilet paper and some hand soap outside, so that was a plus. This park also has a little grassy patch that people were playing frisbees in and possibly disc golf. All in all, this park was very nice!

There really is something for everyone and I love the surrounding "hiking" trails. Around the lake by the tennis courts there is also a free little library that have good quality books and sometimes I saw a stack of CDs as well. We have been here multiple times and will be back again to take a stroll after lunch.

I went there with someone, and the moment we stepped into the park, I felt this bright, open energy that reminded me of the same playful excitement I felt when I visited Funko Hollywood. The whole place felt alive in a way I didn't expect from a park. What really stood out to me right away was how many teenagers were there. They were walking around the trails, relaxing under the trees, taking pictures near the lake, and just enjoying the space in a natural, comfortable way. Seeing so many teenagers made the park feel even more vibrant, almost like it was designed for them to have a place where they could be themselves. As I walked around, I appreciated how easy it was to enjoy everything without feeling rushed. The park is big enough to explore but not so big that it feels overwhelming. The lake area especially has this peaceful atmosphere that still feels exciting because of all the activity happening around it. I saw teenagers taking photos with the water behind them, and the scenery looked so good that it almost felt like a real outdoor version of those fun, creative photo spots at Funko Hollywood. Everything was free, which makes it even better for teenagers who want a place to hang out, take pictures, and have fun without spending money. I only visited Ralph B. Clark Park one time before making this review, but it left a strong impression on me. I didn't realize how much there was to enjoy until I walked deeper into the park and saw the trails, the open fields, the museum building, and all the little areas where people were relaxing. The experience turned out exactly the way I hoped it would. It reminded me how much I enjoy places that feel youthful, open, and creative. In the summertime of 2024, I learned that I am still physically and mentally 18 years old even though I have lived for 24 years, and that sense of youthfulness connected perfectly with the atmosphere of this park. My prefrontal cortex may be more developed than the average 25 year old's, but that does not stop me from appreciating places that make me feel playful, sharp, and relaxed at the same time. Ralph B. Clark Park is honestly one of the most enjoyable outdoor places I have been to in a long time. It has that perfect mix of calm and excitement that teenagers love, and it gives them a space to talk, laugh, take pictures, walk around, and feel creative without any pressure. I would highly recommend that teenagers go there because it is the kind of place where they can have fun, feel comfortable, and make memories in a setting that feels safe, open, and full of life.
