There's lots of space for older kids and adults to run around, play sports, etc. but it is not that great for infants and smaller kids. The playground isn't all that big and is overly crowded except for really early in the morning. Also, there is only one big field to play sports, which gets sort of annoying when there are multiple teams and groups trying to use it at once.

Nice fenced tot lot to keep play contained. Ball fields etc.. but located next to all the strip mall stores!

This is a great little play area right across the street from Target! You can get some errands done and then spend some time with your kids in the park. I love that the play area is fenced adn that there are benches surrounding the equipment so that you are always in view.

I like this park because it is completely fenced in. My son (20 months old) loves to run and I appreciate knowing that he is within a safe secure environment. The playground equiment is fairly new and maintained. This is a fun park. Its also conveniently located to several restaurants for lunch (Chili's, El Pollo Loco) and Target, for a quick after-play shopping excursion if need be.

This park's two claims to fame are that it's gated in (no wandering kids!) and it has nice, new play equipment. That said, it is usually quite busy and sometimes it can almost be too much. There is a sidewalk that circles the play equipment which is perfect for bikes, scooters, etc. It has restrooms, as well as kid friendly eateries adjacent.
