The park is very well-maintained. The washrooms and surrounding areas are clean, creating a safe environment for kids to enjoy.

Walking paths. And plenty of picnic table spaces to enjoy. Weekends are definitely busy. Today being Sunday there was a lot going on. But needless to say we enjoyed our time there.

Did some walking and bushwhacking looking for geocaches here with a friend. She even hid one of her own so keep an eye out if you're a seeker :) There is a grwat zipline and little rock and rope area at the front of the park, kids were politely taking turns using the equipment. Park seems really well maintained and has a number of benches and picnic tables. Highly recommend especially if you have younger kids. It does feed into nearby larger parks in the area as well.

This review is really only for the pool--I didn't explore the rest of the park. The pool however is…read morenice: it's large, has lap lanes, a zero-entry portion with a pirate's ship for the kids, and a dive well (separate) with 1m and 3m boards. Alas, no tower, but still I'll gladly take the 3m! There is a large seating area--stadium style--for swim meets, too. The locker rooms and interior areas are nice and the staff and lifeguards polite and helpful. I just came to practice diving some, but aside from a tower with platforms can't really ask for more than this well-maintained facility already has. Plus, it wasn't busy or too crowded, either.

There is a baseball field, basketball court, and swimming pool along with various play areas. I often walk my dog here, but always felt a little strange about the constant heavy police presence. Turns out a female jogger was raped in this park in 2012. I think if they had a dog park, things would improve. If you're looking for a generally nicer and safer park with more amenities (but no pool) - try Rowlett instead.

Despite the fact that Cross Creek Park has been growing over the past few years, there is still not…read moremuch going on here. It currently is made up of three baseball fields (which I rarely see being used), a basketball court and a grassy area big enough for a touch football game. The Pride Elementary playground is easily accessible from the park as is a pavilion. Bring water with you, there are no water fountains anywhere to be found. But there is a bathroom. One lonely blue portable pushed up against field one. I can't vouch for the inside of it or the amount of toilet paper that is stocked because I've never used it. On certain mornings (Saturdays?) you can catch hot air balloons taking off from the park. With the sun rising in the background and hot air balloons growing in the foreground, it is quite a serene scene. There are usually cranes walking around the small park so that adds a little natural element. All things being equal, I much prefer Flatwoods or Branchton as there is more to do. Unfortunately those aren't walkable from my apartment.

The only resource for a bathroom is a port-a-potty which has apparently been there over a year, eww. DOWNSIDE: there was trash all over the playground. Likely from the kids at the school, which is right next to the park. I will choose to go back but really wish the city would clean it more often.

There are picnic tables also available along with restrooms. There is a paved path in the park where people can walk and enjoy the nature in park.

If you are a resident of the condos listed on the board, you are allowed in the park. Your vehicle must also have a sticker with a number in order to be able to park in any spot. Unfortunately, it's a private park for kids& adults. Pet friendly too. There are walking trails, picnic tables, swings, lots of trees, a pond and watch out for a 7 ft gator that likes to come out of the water and bask in the sun. When the park gets too crowded, they will ask for ID and probably ask you if you are a resident of Tampa Palms.

Only reason I am not giving this park a 5 is because there were a couple kids there with realistic Looking Bb Guns. Very unsettling!

Dangerous We will be back to this park because it's close to home but was not happy about the guns.

This meant that on hot summer days we could play without overheating quickly. Recently my visits have been to the softball fields and not to the park. Before Covid shit everything down, they appeared to be in the process of updating it. During the winter and early spring I participate in a softball league that plays at the fields located at the back of this complex. The fields are always well maintained and ready to go when we show up to play. Only once or twice in my four years playing has something happened that caused a delay. The manager of the fields was there and was able to quickly rectify it. The complex also features a skate park, a dog park, and soccer fields. They also have large mixed use fields located under the lights.
