Mature trees, especially pines and sycamores, provide plenty of shade for the grounds. With its gentlly rolling terrain and well-kept facilities -- the picnic benches and the kiddies' play area alike -- Vaqueros remains a go-to park for local families and couples of all ages. Too bad that the city lacked funding to keep that charming little children's clubhouse maintained. Demolished about five years ago, it'd apparently sustained unfixable neglect over the years.

Along with big open fields of grass !!! Came here for a baby's birthday party and was pleased with the birthday area! There was shade and great seating , looked clean as well.

One complaint from the host of the party is that when she arrived to set up, there was a Couple parked in plain sight next to her in the lot, doing the nasty nasty. Yes , you read that right. On a Sunday afternoon (12pm) .... She was disgusted and looked for help but didn't see staff/ anyone nearby . She got out of her car to make her presence be known.... You would think that couple would care and leave ... no MAAM no sir, they finished their business first and then finally left! No tint and didn't care..... Thankfully no children or families were around to see that crap. It's a nice park , nice area but always look twice and don't let your children outta your sight!

I was hoping this park would have a smaller footprint or to be more grand in size, but it was still a good park. I did enjoy my walk around the park. Went around twice, since it wasn't a huge place - you have to actually make up your own route to get a good workout. But they also have an outdoor workout area. I think I'll have to try those out on my next visit. I did like sitting on one of their benches on the other end of the pond. And lots of parking, depending which lot you enter from.

Aside from the fact that it is a well maintained park, our family likes to go here because there is generally never a lot of people. One parent can look after the kids while the other takes a lap around the walking trail. If you witch off, you can get your daily steps while your kids are burning off some energy. As for parking, it is generally never a problem, unless you go during school pick up and drop off times. If you avoid those two time periods, you are fine.

They have a lot of shaded seating and seating in the sun so you don't get cold. It was such a beautiful day. I had to take advantage of it and take baby girl out. We had fun :) The slide is really tall so I'm not gonna lie, I actually got a little butterflies looking down, but she had no problem. she went down that slide and had a blast.
