They have kid friendly safe water splashing in the summer, tennis courts, barbeque areas, picnic tables, exercise areas, restrooms, and nicely updated sanded walking areas. It was well maintained during my last visit. (Prior post) I went early with my dog at 6 am to run. There was litter out of the trash and insufficient lighting to be around certain areas of the park. I like this park and wish others would clean up after themselves to make it a better and safe place for all to enjoy.

Nice little community park with a small playground and a water-fountain area that’s active during the peak summer season. The restrooms are decent, but overall the park could benefit from better landscape maintenance.

My wife and son and I walk our dogs here every day. The park is kept in exemplary shape! We go quite early sometimes and there are people that love to enjoy the 10 acres of plush, fresh-cut green grass and the cool water area or the huge jungle gym/sand pit for the kids but do not like to be respectful and clean-up afterward. The park employees (and nice, random patrons) hop right in and have it in tip-top-shape before most are even awake. Kudos to all involved because this is a 9/10, 4½ star, 90/100 (our ratings) park right here in the Arden-Arcade area. Enjoy the many shade trees over the thick healthy grass while playing frisbee, football, catch, etc. You can even play some basketball on the full, netted court, some H-O-R-S-E on the half-court with your friends and family...even throw down a game of volleyball in the full sand court. Also, the park is dog friendly with a leash and please clean up after those 4-legged friends...not fun to get a surprise "grumpy" on your shoe! We love this park and it's amenities every day and everyone should come and enjoy as well. BBQ on any of many built-in grills, sit at a covered or uncovered picnic table, play tennis on 2 courts or just throw down a blanket and chill in this summer sun. Enjoy your well spent tax dollars here from 7am till dusk and just PLEASE keep it clean and safe for all to enjoy...it's not too hard with all of the trash cans and recycling bins throughout. Lastly, you could reserve a spot for a birthday party, family reunion, outdoor work event or whatever you want and check for upcoming events in the large recreation building. Lots of parking too! I honestly don't work here but just thought that I would let you all know of this little gem!

My kids had a blast! We will be returning. The splash pad was awesome. I even went through a few times to get wet and stay cool. There is also a playground the kids also enjoyed. There are a few shady spots but if you have a shade umbrella I recommend you bring it. This park also has a bathroom.
