Great place for Birthday parties made a reservation and went the day before to make sure everything was ready and found the pavilion a little dirty from people who were previously sitting there but came back on party day and everything was cleaned and prepared for the party!! The only downside was that at 10:30 p.m the lights at the pavilion were shut off automatically while my guest were still there and quickly mosquitos started biting us which caused everyone to leave. Now it said online the park closing time was at 12 p.m but I dont know if that includes the pavilion but other than that it was great!
This is a great park! Word of advice - keep driving around the curve and dont stop short at the school thinking thats the playground. :P The playground has sections for big and little kids, lots to climb on, plenty of swings, and lots of slides that arent too fast for littler ones.There is a LOT of green space to run around and just enjoy being outside. Next time well bring a picnic!Theres a little pond with a trail around it. There are benches, trash cans, and a water fountain. There is a good-sized pavilion with tables and there is also a porta potty.My kiddos and I will definitely be back!
Fun for everyone in the family. Theres a playground and swings for the kids and a nice walking/running trail for everyone else.
Nice place for a birthday party,plenty of trash bins.
The pavilion can be rented out from the Garland Park District. The pavilion is freshly painted and cleaned, very impressed. Well kept BBQ pit and you can see the whole playground easily. Playground accommodates both toddlers and older kids. The lake has a paved walkway around the whole thing plus picnic tables and waste cans. There is a softball/kickball field plus a large, flat open area for running, football, soccer, or playing with your dog. The park is a great gem nestled in a quiet neighborhood.
Pretty clean and has a pond and a walking trail.
Looks like they may be renovating the pavilion area which would be nice. Nice playground and pond area.
It was nice and pleasant. Beautiful day!!
Really nice place to have a picnic
Great park for any type of activities: enjoying time with kids & family, picnic, walking/riding bikes or scooters, having parties for kids or adults. People fish out there too. Very nice FAMILY place.
The park is nice and clean and its a good place to spend time with your family
The maintenance man did a.below average job. Just picked up the parking lot and didnt do anything else from the parking in or around the pond. In a d out in 10 minutes
Nice place.
Excellent park for picnics, gatherings or just a quick stop for the kids.
Nice little pond great spot for the kids
Best park. Really wish they offered a better picnic area and restroom that wasnt a porter potty.
Love this park
Nice neighborhood park.
Please, be careful. Its not a safe place. Someone chased me on 10/15/19 around 8:00 am. A guy came out from one of the houses there and chased me. I wish I could tell to everyone. I have seen people when they walk there regularly.
Nice place ️
Filthy!!! Actual socks, beer cans and trash used diapers and such, people just cant respect this beautiful comodity thats meant for this local comunity to use and cherish. Infuriating!!!
Theres a nice little pond to walk around that has a pier. Theres a little bit of wildlife about, birds, fish, turtles, and of course mosquitoes and possibly a snake. Theres a tiny bit to be explored off the beaten path for those explorers out there. Kids play sports in the fields. Its nothing too special, for Garland anyway.
Great park! Has a good playground, plenty of shaded and sunny grassy areas, pond/lake to fish in (have to throw back in though,) and a good sized pavilion.
It was a beautiful day. My son and I came to the pond, to fish. We didnt catch anything though
Park is well kept and clean. Has covered picnic tables. Kiddies toys look safe and fun for kids. Has a pond with sidewalk all the way around and is surrounded with trees. My dogs and myself enjoy walking there.
Great place to fish at.
Nice park, used to live accross from here also.
Amazing park in the neighborhood but they dont have toilets only a portable one. But the environment is great and spacious
Nice Park for a Church Function,Need to have a Bathroom building or facilities so people can wash their hands and use the restrooms and bigger parking area.
Plenty of space and play grounds for your kids
One play area, metal and plastic with wood chips on the ground, located adjacent to a pagoda and a few feet further than that is a small pond with fish, turtles, and a small observation deck overlooking the pond. Pagoda was recently painted it seems and also seems as though it was be a good place for a little family birthday party. Short path around pond and back to play area, seems to go further but we didnt take that route as that was beyond the park. Decent parking area with additional parking along the street. Good place for a picnic or for some lounging in the grass. Large puddles formed after the rain creating a bit of mud between pagoda and deck so be advised if considering going and its recently rained.
Awesome, peaceful, clean park. Loved it
Nice park for families. Has a big shaded area with picnic tables. The play area is really close to the tables which is nice for parents to easily view kids. The play area also is separated by two sections one seems geared for smaller children .
Went trout fishing at the pond. No luck but it was fun. Lots of families using it.
Pretty cool park .
Pretty park, nice walking trail, stocked pond, b ce and quiet!
Ablon Park has been a great pit stop for me and my fellow bike-riding companion. We stop there at the halfway point of an eight-mile trek.Shady areas with perfectly spaced picnic tables have grills and inconspicuous trash cans nearby.The well-maintained sidewalk path around the pond is wide enough for my three-wheeler and a walker or jogger to pass.It is often that we see blue herons resting there.Picturesque, well-maintained green belts and pet-friendly. Fishing must be good because we have passed by them near the spillway and dock.The park also has a multi-feature jungle gym for kids. Parents really enjoy that area as much as their children do.The expansive pavilion has enough tables to accommodate several picnickers at the same time, again affording privacy for all.There’s a clean, well-equipped port-a-potty too, with plenty of tp and hand sanitizer.The city and the patrons show pride in this safe refuge.One of Garland’s quiet, well-kept secrets where you rarely meet a stranger, and if you do, the diverse passerbys are friendly people.A must-go. You won’t be disappointed!
Nice little neighborhood park with playground, pond, and pavilion, trail
Nice place to hang out with family and friends very shaded
Park have a bed Smell
Very clean park and restrooms watch out for snakes
Great park! Small but big in its own way. Love the little pond with grills and picnic tables around it. The playground is perfect and theres plenty of covered seating for parties or group functions. Only drawback is the port-a-potty but it was very clean. Awesome park!!
Really fun place to take the family. Play, picnic, go fishing, walking, many things to do!
Great little bike loop for kids right next to playground
Nice play ground and pond. My kids and I would have enjoyed it more if we didnt have to see and smell individuals smoking pot! Then as we were leaving some other individual carried their pet to the kids play area to drop turds!
Nice shade quiet en fine air
In a nice setting
Clean and well maintained.
Only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is I wish it had a real bathroom instead of a pott a potty. Its a lovely park. Small parking lot does need expanding, but great trail, playground, and little pond. Keep dogs on a leash and please dont bring glass I just did a pickup after the storm and glass peices were bad in one section. Im pretty sure it just came out of the trash can. They should just make a law you bring it you take it or you pay. Lol Please dont bring glass were our kids play!
So peaceful
Nice, clean park. Good for family cookouts
Very layback n peaceful. Only thing is theirs a lot of bugs n files.
Feels nice cant wait to go again. Only thing of concern is wasps nest on playground and softball fields still super tall but looks really sweet.
We Love the Park My Son Got Merry There
Nice and spacious, seems well kept. Cool pond I guess
A clean park to enjoy walking, hanging out or kids playing with bathroom
Very nice place for a party
Awesome little park to take your family to that will probably not be crowded. Also, it has a neat little lake.
Nice
I love walking around the little lake
Nice clean fun park. Not too big. Just right for neighborhood and social gatherings.

Great place to walk, and for kids to play. Covered party pavillion is nice.
Small park but good if you dont want to be around alot of people. Well maintained
Okay park, good for dog walking. Probably better for locals who live nearby and can just walk on over.
Definitely a nice park, but it is kind of hidden.
Clean and plesant place for any event.
