The pond in the center needs a little maintenance. It was dirty and the turtles need better landings. It seemed that turtles didn't have a way out of pond.

This is a nice park in my neighborhood that I've been coming to for about 10 years. It has a small…read moreplayground for kids and is pet-friendly complete with doggy poop bag stations and plenty of room for Rover to run. I particularly like the spaced-out park benches for a nice rest from walking the neighborhood and privacy when you're off Pokémon hunting. The paved walking/jogging trail is perfect for visitors with plenty of shade and trees during the hotter months. I don't believe there are any restrooms or water fountains around or at least I didn't see any. Just be careful in the early evenings and when the sun goes down because I have heard some unsavory stories regarding sketchy characters hanging out here over the years. Always be aware of your surroundings....

Four Corners Park is just a hop, skip and a jump from my residence. The park provides a path which…read moreis great for joggers, dog walking, or for those little ones looking for a safe place to learn how to ride a bike. With a few benches scattered about and lots of shade from giant, lofty trees, it is an excellent place to take your current book to read for awhile. Three of the four corners contain paths, while the fourth is an open field. A great place for a pick up game of football or soccer. The park could possibly benefit from the addition of a playground, although, that could take away from the serenity of this park. The traffic is never bad through this area since the majority sticks to Post Street. Also, if you take your dog and forget a plastic bag, no worries! There are different stations around the park that have a supply. Trash cans accompany these, so you can throw it away.

It has a small but pleasant nature walk, a kayak launch, a children's playground, an open field, adequate parking, and more. There is a private residence on the grounds, so please be mindful of that. All in all, Alejandro Garces Camp Tomahawk Park is a wonderful park and a great place in particular for the residents of this quiet side street. We need parks like this in our communities. This is a wonderful place to come in respite. I would definitely recommend a visit here, especially if you are in the neighborhood or anywhere in the general area. I will give it five stars as an overall rating. Go check it out for yourself, I am confident that you will not be disappointed.

I had an unusual experience here only the second time I have been I am new to the area. I brought…read moremy kids to the playground and a strange woman struck up a conversation and would not leave us alone asking me all sorts of questions and often repeating herself. She continued on by playing with my children but did not have a child with her. A boyfriend was standing and waiting outside of the vehicle just smoking cigarettes. It gave me an uneasy feeling that either she was on drugs or they were involved in trafficking. I have since not gone back. It is a nice park otherwise and it's unfortunate some people have to ruin a good thing. I would just be mindful when you come here with your kids.

This allows the dogs to play a little longer than normal. There is a concrete sidewalk that goes across the dog park. The small dog park has one water fountain and a bench. It shares a fence with the big dog park and they can tend to run the fence line when things get going. The big dog park is mostly made up of sand and trees. There are 3 benches and 2 water fountains. The fountains are purely for the dogs as the human portion is non-functioning. One of the fountains continuously runs and has made a bit of a mess. At 1 end of the park, the dogs love to roam through it on a hot day and roll in the slop to cool down Bring a towel.

I enjoy bringing my family out, some of us friends meet out there and it is a beautiful thing. However, my experience this past weekend (June 20) was anything but. Unsupervised Teenagers were there. The inappropriate language, the trucks and dirt bikes kicking up sand and the drinking has definitely gotten out of hand. I have no answer or idea on how to curtail these behaviors but at some point it will have to be addressed. One teen was so drunk he could barely stand. The others were trying to sober him up by standing him in the water; and the boy tipped over. We could not reach them because we were in the middle of the lake. It was a horrible situation. A young girl in an uncomfortable position being groped by an intoxicated boy as his friends stood by and watched. By the time an adult tried to intervene, they were gone. This lake should be a place for everyone to enjoy, but that's not easy to do any more
