Evan C.: ★★★★
Good tennis courts. Tennis and pickleball are both using these courts. Out of the six courts, they split three and three. We used the courts as warm up courts before an event in the nearby country clubs (usually lack practice courts). Playground: Nice area and lots of green space. Restrooms: Kind of far from tennis courts or volleyball but they're clean. (and they seem to be video monitored)
Thuy Nguyen: ★★★★★
Thank you this park. It used to close my house I play pickleball every weekend
Myron Stelmaschuk: ★★★★★
Great free courts (3). Usually play at Indian wells but this was fun. Mostly pickle ball players so it gave us full court access.
Paul Pupp: ★★★★★
This is the nicest, cleanest, best developed Park I have ever been to.

Large beautiful playing areas. Clean and sanitary restrooms. Beautiful dog parks, one for Big Boys and one for littles. Beautiful covered tables with water misters you can turn on yourself when the heat arrives

Like hanging out feeding the Ducks National concert series set up in the park always a fun place to hang around decent little skatepark
chris m: ★★★
This could be a beautiful park. The grass is over watered. Very unsafe. No police presence or enforcement rangers. Entitled people parked in fire lane but no tickets or towing. There are no parking enforcement officers patrolling parking lot. Vehicles with expired registration, illegally tinted windows, and no front plates. But no tickets being issued. Teens speeding thru lot. Trash on the ground and overflowing trash cans. Graffiti doesn't get cleaned. People drinking beer but no attests. Dog-friendliness: They do have poop bag dispensers. And a fenced dog park.
Carlos: ★★★
Its very nice park. The green grass, tennis and basket ball courts, and the ponds are just beautiful. And a great place for family's. The reason im giving three stars is because the bathrooms are super dirty with the poop and pee all over the floor. The smell is very horrible.
Rosa Covarrubias: ★★★
A bit disappointed .The bbq areas were quite filthy. unattended .I know Halloween is around the corner but ... Looked like the cobb webs been there awhile.. And yes i know covid and all but if its open NOW to public , cuda tidy up a bit.
Negative Reviews:
Jeff Myers: ★★
Tennis courts are an embarrassment. Nets are decades old and sagging in the middle. Meanwhile they converted fully half of the tennis courts to pickleball; NONE of which were being used. They didn't even bother to take down the old tennis nets..just left them in the middle of the pickleball courts.
Dado: ★★
The park itself is nice. I go there in the evening to relax and enjoy playing some tennis with friends. Well, it's absolutely not possible to relax and enjoy it. The beach volleyball courts next to tennis courts always have very loud screaming and yelling people who ALWAYS bring their speakers (at least two-one for each court) and play insanely loud music very often with lyrics that have vocabulary suitable only for federal penitentiarirs. There are people rollerblading on the courts and often playing with a football or soccer balls on the courts (with their own speakers and loud music). This place is a Circus.
