I had to call the rec center and someone came 30 minutes later to unlock it. That was annoying. The fine print says there's a ranger available every 30 minutes. No there isn't. And no one ever checked my permit or my alcohol permit. Do what you will with that information. Anyways, the area is nice. The ground is loose dirt though, my sneakers got covered in it but I was running around a lot. There's no harassing bugs and there's a sink right next to the grill (bring a small hand soap) and a ton of trash cans around. The grill is really big, so bring a lot of charcoal My bbq guests really liked the park.

There are two structures, one much smaller than the other- both I would say are geared toward toddlers and young kids. There are also swings, and a sand box. The whole surface is padded which is also nice for the young ones. I loved the butterfly theme including butterfly pictures on the structures, caterpillar statues, and the whole padded surface being butterfly colored.

A short boardwalk trail goes around the trees. The preserve has a trail to Shoup Park, it's about a mile there and back with the preserve loop trail. I think this place would be much better in the wintertime when the streams are full of water. In the summer it was dry and hot even in the shade. This would be a good place for a birder; I heard many birds throughout and saw a few woodpeckers.

You have room for your small and large friends alike, including parents, which makes my achy back and knees so happy. 3. You're well-maintained with plenty of parking, manicured landscaping, and all park equipment in good working condition. 4. You're fully fenced in so I don't need to worry about my child running into traffic or straying too far. 5. You're close to coffee and food shops. 6. You're great for birthday parties, with tons of space and tables! Whether you're a parent of a human child or a dog child, this park is fantastic.

This is a small, quiet park with two play structures along with a rocky water fountain area where the little ones can play with sand and water. The water does come on every 30 minutes, so the kids really look forward to playing with the water once it is on. It stays on for a few minutes, then, shuts off. Once the water is gone, the children go back to play on the play structures. All in all, this is the best park in the area and we will definitely be back again soon!
