Plenty of parking whether you park in the lot or along the road. It gets quite busy as a number of kids extracurricular activities happen here on evenings and over the weekend. I like coming here to walk with our pup, as there's plenty of grass and space to sniff. Some other dogs we see are off leash, but most people we see are good about keeping their dogs on leash. There are plenty of trees along the park, and a cute path that leads to the neighborhood further up the street. Also, the grounds are kept quite clean, and I seldom see any litter on the ground. Definitely appreciate people keeping our local park clean!

Wow this is a gem! There's at least 3 play structures for all age groups up to 12 years old, plus a…read morepretty decent bouldering (rock climbing) wall, a tall swingset, a tire swing, a pretty good size sandbox with a rock feature in the middle, a medium size grassy area, and an easy-to-miss paved bike track for the tikes that circles half of the whole playground. Two tiny picnic tables are under a partly shaded canopy. Benches are dispersed throughout. When we went, there were ample porta-potties and portable hand-wash basins just outside the fences, and there are permanent bathrooms at the tennis courts nearby. Besides the fenced-in playground, there's a larger park with ample grassy areas, tennis courts, a baseball field, I think a soccer field, picnic tables with barbecue (BBQ) pits, and a small pond with a walking path around it. There's ample parking for cars and a couple of bike racks too. If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

My daughter attends the Saturday morning gymnastics class. Unfortunately, our experience has been…read morevery inconsistent depending on the instructor. Shawn, the instructor who teaches at the same time is excellent, he interacts with the children, encourages them, gives positive feedback, and creates a supportive learning environment. The kids in his group seem engaged and confident. However, the female instructors assigned to the other group have been very disappointing. They show the course once and then mostly stand and watch. There is very little interaction, no encouragement, and no guidance throughout the class. These are 4- and 5-year-old children who need support, engagement, and positive reinforcement. I rarely hear a "good job" or see active coaching. Week after week, the level of enthusiasm and involvement from these instructors has been lacking. For young children especially, energy, facial expression, encouragement, and interaction make a huge difference in their experience and development. I truly hope the program can ensure a consistent standard of quality across all instructors, because the difference between groups is very noticeable.

When I asked what the payment was for, I was repeatedly talked over and the staff member (Auriyon) seemed put out by having to explain. The call began by noting it was recorded for training purposes, so hopefully Roger reviews these calls and uses them as a coaching opportunity.

Super cute, neighborhood-inspired local park. This park is so sweet because of all the wooden…read morestructures and interesting spaces. My daughter used to have fantastic games of tag and hide and seek here with just about anyone who showed up. The little children's play area is fenced with swings, a play structure and a sand box that is usually shaded. The bigger kids area has a sort of wooden castle structure with walkways and secret spots as well as a great twisty slide. There are several picnic tables and large lawn. The lawn is sometimes used for off-leash dog play, so take that as you will. If you like dogs and want to bring yours, it's welcome. If they make you uncomfortable, this may not be the best spot for you as the dogs are right next to the children's area. Usually it's just one or two dogs chasing a ball for a few minutes and then they continue on with their owners. One definite downside: there is NO BATHROOM. I think the neighbors fought this tooth and nail -- the ones immediately next to the park, that is. While I respect the notion of not wanting a public bathroom just behind your yard, this approach was a little short sided. Kids have been known to pee in the bushes along the fence line.

On our Mother's day weekend getaway we were in need of a few nearby places to walk to from our…read morevacation spot to walk off the food and get the kids energy out. This park is located near the heart of Mill Valley restaurants and had both a play structure and a super fun creek. The kids (and grandpa) took off their shoes and walked through the water before going up to play and swing. Perfect spot for our 2 and 4 year old to do some exploring and playing. We came back the next day and had water shoes and a few more toys for the area. This location also has a picnic spot in the middle of tall trees that feels like a forest escape only a short distance (like 100ft) from the sidewalk. Very neat place if you're in the area. Kept the kids busy for about an hour. Playground is OK, total experience was the 4-5 star.

Very relaxing ride that takes about 10 minutes. All seats are uncovered so make sure to bring your hat or sunscreen. Right next to the train is an antique carousel, tickets are also $5 per person.

They somehow manage to wrangle a pack of hyped-up kids, keep everyone happy and make it look effortless.

The parties run smoothly, all the kids have an absolute blast playing the games of their choosing, and parents get a stress-free two hours. Harrison is already campaigning to attend their holiday and summer camps, which tells you everything you need to know. Highly recommend Esporterz!!!

She worked with me to come up with a package that fit my budget and daughter's party wish. They take PayPal, cash or check. I have two pieces of feedback. First, I would recommend is having a cancellation policy or two way contract to ensure customer and owner are protected. For example, if the pony is sick and can't show or the customer cancels last minute, it's nice to have something like that in place. Second, I would have costs listed on the website for different options with descriptions of the package. We will be using them again for my neice's party!
