Mesquite has an amazing parks system, all connected with a bike path and with plenty of shade and seating. This particular park is just outside the library and has plenty of grass, playground area, I even saw someone doing yoga while we were there.
As an added bonus, the library has been recently re-done and had tons of activities, toys, etc for the kids to use. We were impressed!
We were there in the evening and there was quite a bit of ant activity - I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done about that, if it's a cleanliness issue or if they're just active that time of day.
We also witness a dog fight over on the bike path while there and the owners had a few choice words to say to each other that was NOT kid friendly (both owners should've probably had their dogs on leashes... but the language wasn't warranted in my opinion).
Overall, this is a great park and well maintained (probably due to the proximity to the library... some of their other parks need work) read more
