The mental health messages along the paths are such a pleasant touch. If you want something more leisurely, you can do an easy walk around the lake. My mom found this helpful, instead of venturing back into the trails. Parking fills up fast, but the library next door has plenty of free spots, and parking there is allowed, so you won't get towed. Bring water!

They are rib by volunteers. The trails are clean, dogs welcome everywhere, horses in designated areas, camp sites also available to rent which come with bbq grills and pits along with space for tents. Check out their website for the info. This is a great park to take your kids to the playground, go fishing, get your steps in, take your dog food a walk or have a date. Many picture perfect spots which are popular for graduation, wedding, and birthday pics. I even saw a couple get married on the bridge at sunset a quick 5 minute ceremony to not hold up anyone. Parking in a few spots and adjacent to the library for extra parking. 2 bathrooms I've been to are clean and maintained. Water fountains also there.

One of the most beautiful dog parks I've been to yet…read more It has tons of water for the pups & it has it split in two one side is fenced and the other isn't. They have about 6 gated sections but some were locked shut and others were open. They have an area to wash your pets off after they have had their fun. My pups had such a blast and were wiped out by the time we left There was tons of grass areas such a big park. They have a few playgrounds for kids as well. I loved the fire hydrant water station it was a cute addition.

I drove 30+ minutes to get here so my two dogs could experience being in the water. I looked online…read moreto confirm it was open and it showed as being open until later in the day. When I arrived, there was nothing but gates surrounding majority of the dog park (besides walking trails). The sign showed as being closed and being closed for a couple of more weeks. It was a waste of gas and disappointing. There should be an update, so people are aware of it not being opened currently.

This park is awesome. Coming from the Chicago area..I was used to dog parks that required a ton of…read morepaperwork and an annual fee to join. And that's IF they had room for a new member. This park is FREE. No paperwork needed. Awesome. It's a HUGE fenced in field for your dog to run around like crazy. There is a large fenced off timid dog area as well. I find myself forced to use this section with my small dogs because almost all the dogs running around the field are big and rowdy. Most of the dogs are well behaved...but obviously dogs will be dogs. Note to fellow dog owners: If you know your dog is short tempered or you're not SURE how it's going to act around other dogs...leash it for a couple visits to get it used to the park/dogs. You can tell when all the newbies are there because more fights happen. There is a water fountain near the entrance. I suggest bringing some kind of container to fill up on your way in. There are plenty of tennis balls scattered on the ground for you to use. And people are pretty good about cleaning up the poop. From what I hear, they're closed on Thursdays for maintenence....clean up...whatever. Mornings seem to be better than evenings. There are more of the "regulars" in the morning. Evenings tend to have younger people with rowdier dogs that misbehave more. Just a tip. Seriously, don't bring your dog if it's an asshole. People WILL call you out for it. ;)

I went into 2 of the 4 different areas, and will try to break it down as best as I can. Water Park Area: Now, my biggest pet peeve in dog parks is when owners don't clean up after their pets. There was dogs pooping all over the place, and the owners just left it there. I said something to a couple of people, but they said "someone" will take care of it. Otherwise, the water is stale and recycled, which means it isn't the cleanest. BRING SHAMPOO! Your dog must be washed before leaving that park, and they do have an area to clean them up at. Also, if your dogs don't get along with others, DO NOT BRING THEM THERE. WE DON'T NEED SUPER AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS AT THIS PARK. The water isn't too bad, but my dog loved being in there. I really hope they clean it more often, as I've heard that during the summer it gets really rank in there. Large dog dry land: Now the place just adjacent to the water park is a great little running area. I really like how they have different areas for the dog to do agility training. Like the water park area, this was littered heavily with dog droppings. I really hope people will please start cleaning after themselves. Overall: I did like this park A LOT. I just hope there is more control over these people. I would like to know who runs the volunteers, I can help with this in any capacity.

The park offers two sections: one for small dogs and one for big dogs. We have two big huskies, so we took them to the big dogs area. It's nothing fancy, but it's open and has plenty of space for our pups to run around. There's a few benches with shade and a water station. There weren't many dogs when we arrived, but this was in May, so it was already pretty hot. We stayed for almost an hour, just enough to let our pups get some energy out without getting too hot. We will be back!

It shows the orientation of the fields, the parking and entrances, and where the bathrooms (stars) are. There are entrances on the N, E, S, and W, as well as between fields 12 and 15 to get to the bathrooms. You should look at the map to see where to park. The grass fields are in good shape and the bathrooms are pretty new and clean. Just check my map so you know where to go. It also shows where they are compared to the original fields 1-6 which are SW of these fields.

There is ample seating throughout the park as well as three covered seating areas, two right next to the playgrounds. No bathrooms.

Great park with nice trees.

The playground is very safe which I love, the only area that is high is the boulder rock, made for older kids, but small kids still want to climb on it and it is hard for me to get my toddler down since its tall. Lots of covered table areas. Public bathrooms. The lake is huge with fish and ducks. The only downside is that the lake is smelly every time I have gone here and could be a lot cleaner. Overall, love going for the playground for my toddler.

Just down the road from Sloan Park (Cub's stadium) and across the street from Mesa Riverview shopping area, it's very well situated. For locals and people living in the area, it's definitely frequented for fishing, using the playground, playing soccer or sports, and taking a nice walk. It's a clean and well maintained park. When the weather is nice, this is a great place to take a walk at sunset, around the small lake. I've seen some really nice skies and colors from the park. People are there year round fishing and there's a big playground area with a large climbing tower & splash pad towers at the north end of the park. Spread throughout that area are picnic ramadas w/ grills that are popular on the weekend. We walk our pups around when it's cooler outside. Summer months we don't usually walk over, even though we live close by, across the street. It's just too hot, even at night. Overall, it's a great park area and I look forward to when we come back regularly for our evening walks.

I was disappointed there are no exercise machines/stations which is common at LA parks. A Ramada reservation glass had an old reservation notice that should have been removed. Another one was broken.

The guy acted like I was bothering him and didn't seem to care. The Park is rundown and needs new grass.
