This event was well received by the community...more than 30 people (mixed age groups) showed up to volunteer. It was AWESOME!! This beauuutiful 42-acre park contains the largest public tennis complex in the city (10 tennis courts and 6 pickleball courts), basketball court, baseball/softball fields, a multi-sport turf arena, alongside a modern playground, designated dog park area, and shaded picnic areas. Major pluses are restrooms, drinking fountains, and free parking. I definitely recommend this green space and family-friendly park to the Yelp Community :-)

The few times I've been here has been enjoyable and everyone (including dogs) have been very amicable. The dog park is very well kept and like how they have some little obstacles courses for the dogs. The pickleball courts are also very nice but there are some areas that have been worn out, mostly behind the baseline. But nice seating area and efficient paddle system to rotate people in and out. I only wish it was closer to me.

The park isn't too big, but has a good children's play area. When I came there was plenty of parking. The tot lots were pretty busy. Tons of kids. 2 baby swings. My baby loved the swing and all the kids playing. It kept him busy. The grassy area was muddy in some spots. We came for a baby's birthday and they rented out the picnic table area. Good park for your kids!

The middle level is for kids 5-12. The lower area has a skating zone and basketball court. The little kids area have an interesting two person swing. The middle level has a cool looking slide that is recently taped off. The fake grass hill was fun to slide down on card board. There are covered tables for eating in the middle and upper section. There is limited street parking and no restroom.

I love that this is a neighborhood park!…read more Pros- good size grassy area, lots of shade, my 2 year old actually had a ton of fun at the skate park on her scooter even with older kids bouncing around her, the kids were so mindful of each other it was really great to see! Cons- street only parking, no bathrooms, equipment was all over the place, the hill that folks slide down on is very steep! and goes right into a large jungle gym, the zip line was challenging to get on and off and pretty intense for ages 5-12 imo, but kids were loving it! My daughter enjoyed this park a lot! It was very busy for the long time period we were there with her friend. I do feel like this park is probably for ages 4+ as the equipment leaned more toward jungle gyms, one tire swing, two (never enough swings) interesting looking adult joined baby swings, a couple spinners, one huge scary looking slide that was under repair, a huge zip line and two concrete slides. We came with a friend and tried the swings, the concrete slides, a little climbing on the jungle gym, we did slide down the hill with the girls and sent them down with one adult at the bottom to catch them and it was a little scary! We also tried the zip line with the girls on our laps but needed to assist each other to get on and off. Would love to see more swings up top around the grassy area and maybe moving the jungle gym at the bottom back and actually creating a large slide on the part where folks ride their cardboard down to prevent injuries

Each station is labeled for particular age groups so be sure to pay attention. You don't want your three year old getting into the 5 and up area which will require you to climb all the way up and grab them lol - trust me, I've had to do it a couple of times. Just wish they had additional seating available as this area is popular and tends to get both busy and crowded. Be back soon.

I didn't get down to the beach tonight (there are stairs down from the park) but I need to do that before summer is over. Restrooms available here too. Lovely park and there is a parking lot connected. I will definitely be back!

We had an extremely disappointing experience at our son's very first swim lesson…read more When we arrived, the front desk employee was on a personal phone call. We waited until she finished and told her we were there for our first swim class. Instead of checking us in or explaining where to go, she simply pointed toward the outdoor pool area and told us to "go ask a lifeguard." This is a large facility with multiple pools and lessons happening at the same time. Since we'd never been there before, we wandered around trying to figure out where our instructor was. A lifeguard pointed us to another pool, but there was still no one directing us. We eventually had to interrupt an instructor to ask if he knew where we should be. At that point, the instructor asked for our son's name, looked at the child he was currently teaching, and realized he was teaching the wrong student. His response was that because the other family had arrived first, he would just teach both children together. We had prepaid for a private lesson specifically because our son has never had swim lessons before. Sharing the lesson with another child was not what we paid for or expected. We ultimately requested a refund and left without our son ever having his first lesson. Everyone can make mistakes, but this experience reflected a lack of organization from start to finish. There was no check-in process, no guidance for first-time families, and no clear communication about instructor assignments. For a business teaching young children around water, I expected much better organization and professionalism.

There is a big playground for bigger kids and a smaller playground for toddlers so it was perfect for both ages. I loved the foam instead of sand or bark. The foam makes a lot less of a mess with clothes and shoes. There are also really nice shades on the playgrounds to keep kiddos and parents cool. The whole area is well thought out. There are plenty of areas to picnic and a few bbq areas for people who want to use them. It was a random stop to come here as I was nearby, but I'll definitely come again and let my little one stretch his legs.
