Clean, green, spacious with great trees for shade. Rolling low green hills, open grassy areas and a beautiful small lake to relax by. Fun playground for kiddos and fabulous tennis courts with plenty of parking. A park to truly enjoy!

Beautiful park. Love the sunset from the benches by the pond. Nice place to walk around and take the kids....also great for some Pokemon Go

The park is a a great place. The people are the problem. The playground was filled with kids. No one had masks on, kids or adults.

Quiet beautiful pond. Tiny tiny fingerling fish but people still enjoy catching them. My favorite thing about this part is that it hosts the local Renn Faire. Jousting, SCA, music, food, vendors, i love everything to do with it.

Personally, I think its one of the better parks here in cruces for the kids to come play.But theres a few things that need to be done before I give it a 5 star rating.

Its a great place. Tennis courts, fishing, basketball, baseball and plenty of shade. A store is close by if you need it. Great for frisbee, too.

If people wouldnt throw trash on ground next to empty trash cans it would be better! Other than that its great when its open.People take pride in where you live and pic up ur trash plz........

I grew up in this park so many memories the bridge was neat as a kid an know there new play equipment but have had countless bbq sports practice fishing biking love it

This park is really nice and I wouldve liked it much better, but I felt unsafe as there were hardly any people wearing masks or had them handy. There were kids playing on the closed playground areas due to the pandemic.

Nice Big Park with a little lake to walk around. This park gets really busy in the summer.

A gorgeous park with green rolling hills and a beautiful view. The pond and the animals give this park some extra life that makes you want to stay even longer. The paths for walking are well kept and spacious.

Nice park. Liked the mini pavilions with tables. Nice paths. Would return if in the area.

My family and I loved this park! The kids especially enjoyed watching as others caught fish! :)

Young Park is a lovely place to relax but not to fish. The pond is in bad shape and poorly maintained. The water is filled with so much moss it is impossible to keep any bait on the hook. There was only one airater working with two broken and the water fall was not running either. For that size pond all three airaters need to be running full time to reoxygenate the water. Otherwise what fish are in there will die.I was there for four hours and not one bit only moss. I didnt see anyone catch anything. No one came around to check licenses and I was told by several people they fish at night. According to what I remember that is illegal.

Good place for the young child, probably aged 4 on up to run and expend energy. Be careful of the down-slopes into the duck pond but otherwise very nice place.

Were always here... And Ive always loved Youngs ever since I was small

Beautiful place to go for a walk and to hang out with friends.Ive also been here for the Renaissance Festival which was a beautiful spot for such a thing!

So much fun, for the family and if not then by yourself will br just fine

Its a beautiful park.

A great family-friendly location.

Beautiful Park! Too many cats though!

Its one of the best parks to go to in town the water splashing is a very relaxing sound ;)

It’s free!!!! With disabled friendly bathroom!!! You can get 1 mile just walking around the park!!! You can even do picnic and do barbecue with your family!!!! I am so impressed!!!

Great quiet family park. Hopefully they clean the lake back up once the park is open again.

Yep, pond has been drained. Still nice to walk. Playgrounds for the kids, decent restrooms.

It was fun to bring kids to have fun and they serve them lunch to not to go hungry

My park to go every Renaissance Fest! There is a huge pond with a dragon! LOL

Went to the Renaissance Fair here today, had a lot of fun.

Great stop. Relaxing

Nice quiet and attractive park...hills, trees, duck pond & playground...parking

My honey and I used to go here all the time. I really enjoyed the warm days sitting next to the pond. They have great bbq spots as well.

It is a very clean park, the pond has been freshly filled with water. There is a buzz heard amongst folks nearby of the addition of catfish coming very soon. After hours park activity never fails to entertain however, its not for the squeamish or amatures!

Place is closed...we were looking for a place to eat since we are out of towner. But it was close so we ate in the side in the car.

Nice place to chill great sunset view. Fountains are tranquil! Great place to hang with the family. Have a BBQ

Absolutely love this park!! Beautiful full trees, great place for a cook out or picnic, great place for family time!

The pond is no longer under construction. The pond has been restocked with fish. It will need to be cleaned periodically due to the algae.

The best park in Las Cruces NM I would give them 5 stars but theres an issue and its the restrooms, they only open a couple and theres too many people for just one ladies and one men available they should be open every day not only holidays, I hope they solve this soon.

Parks and Recreation needs to get out there and work with the Aerator, lower the salinity and get rid of the Golden Algae that is right there. Its what killed all the fish at Ascarate Lake in El Paso.

Excellent park, lawn needs work, lots of pigeons, & water had lots of growth. Regardless, it was a great place to stop & some covered picnic tables.

Its so clean and beautiful! The grass and trees look so nice and green . There is a large play ground area for the children! The picnic areas have grills and are kept clean. You can take a walk around the entire park. The Pond is clean and has brenches under the trees so you can sit and enjoy the view.

Well maintained park. The restrooms are a little sketchy - some of the equipment is a on the well worn side but its all functioning and safe. Has some cool musical options for playing that you dont see other places. Multiple different playgrounds in the same area so good for families with kids of differing ages!

Nice place to park and eat some Nopalitos food

A beautiful park. There is shady people though. They wont harm you but I recommend keeping an eye open.

Great park to aLk around and watch the sunrise

I love walking in the mornings with the hubby!!! I also love playing tennis with my boys even though I really dont know how to LoL but enjoy their company!!!!

Very well appointed amenities and the park has a lovely pond. It is a great place to walk my Service Dog in Training because the other dog walkers there obey the New Mexico law which requires all dogs to be leashed.There are picnic tables, some with Sun awnings overhead, a playground, several park benches and the restrooms are well maintained and always clean.I absolutely love Young Park!

Loved playing here when I was little. Bunch of playgrounds. A little pond to go fishing. PS dont be stupid and swim in it. No swimming so we can keep the pond full of water and full of fish turtles and ducks.

Quiet and relaxing, plenty of picnic tables, the pond is very nice. Good place to walk, take your dog.

They have a playground which is geared towards disabled persons, which is amazing. Im glad we have that option in town. Having said that, its also a perfect playground for younger Kids because of all of the accommodations. They can climb and swing without an adult hovering over them.

Pleasant surroundings and peaceful.

So much nicer now that the water is back! Its a really great place to ride bikes, walk, the newer playground for the kids is nice also. The bathrooms are OK, not sure how often they clean them, sometimes they are dirty. The sunsets here are beautiful, one of my favorite parks!

Love this park!

This is a decent park, basically the best we have here in Cruces. The only problem I have with it is that the pond is not currently in the best state. What I mean is that since they drained it and worked on it earlier in the year, it still hasnt been properly stocked. There are a few small catfish, bluegill, and minnows, but that is it. There used to be a lot more life in there. I breed koi, so I get that it takes time for a pond to get properly established, but its already being taken over by algae. Im really hoping that they will throw in a good amount of crayfish, and/or freshwater shrimp, as that will help keep the algae in check, and they are a great source of food for the fish that are currently in the pond, and the trout that should be getting stocked soon.One cool thing about the park is the population of cats that come out at night. If you love cats and live somewhere that doesnt allow pets, or if you just want to be surrounded by cats that are almost close enough to pet, then stop by here about an hour after sunset and kickback by the pond. From what I experienced the best area for kitty watching is the north west side. I parked on E. Colorado Ave in front of the apartments and walked up the little hill. Theres a lot of light here, some benches, and even a covered picnic table that the cats inspect very thoroughly. Im pretty sure that you could get one or two of the cats I saw to let you pet them if you brought some type of food, especially the really curious little gray one, but thats up to you, and I take no responsibility for any scratches or fleas you might get.

Still the lake area is closed. Due to COVID

I visited on a weekday at noon. My companion had need of the restroom and it was locked. This is not even user friendly. It is a beautiful and well maintained park, just go to the Pik Quick across Walnut before you head to Young Park.

This is the largest park in Las Cruces, very well maintained with clean restrooms. Its a great place to spend quality time with family or alone. The fishpond is well stocked for the kiddos to catch.

This is a great park ! The only thing I can think that is a problem is people who do not pick up after the pets, and people who follow you around with their dogs. People need to be more curious of others that have dogs that can be around other pets!

Beautiful park for walking. It has a man made lake with two beautiful fountains. Also has a playground for the kids and lots of grass and gazebos.

They recently redid the pond and it looks really good. The park is very big and has many different sections. I like this park

This park has so much potential and used to be a great place for families to gather. Now its best to stay away from as soon as it hits 5pm. After that there are drug deals all around it homeless roam all over and if you follow the news there has been shootings in this area. Huge disappointment since its so pretty.

The pond is great for trout fishing but the level of algea is disgusting and theres alot of dead fish in the pond is needs to be cleaned

Nice playground. Small pond. Lots of grass. Very peaceful. Love it here!

This is a very lovely park. The pond is currently empty due to damage to the pump/drain system. When it it is full and stocked with fish its a really fun place to bring the kids. Young Park is very large and has lots of shady areas. It also has a playground area for children with special needs, which I love. Avoid the area after hours though!

Took my uncle fishing.we caught our limit.was great. Very clean park

Beautiful park and kids loved watching the fish in the pond. Great play areas.

Fun lots of stuff to do beautiful

Good spot to fish

Nice clean park. Restroom was also clean. Nice BBQ area, probably needing more picnic places.

Great trout fishing.. Will teach you how to catch your limit.. For a tip..

Clean, well kept. Each play area has suggested agree range. Bathrooms are a little disappointing but they are open for use. Over all nice park

Its the nicest park n town were u can take ur family and have fun and just sit back and enjoy your day, weekend watever!

Lots to do and love the giant instruments

My daughters favorite park in town. More shade would be nice.

Wonderful pond. Lots of play equipment and beautiful areas to walk around

Fixed up the pond (much needed) and put in a kiddie area that is shaded. Also put in some music toys, which are cool for kids. One complaint: some of the cheap paint jobs dont look very good.

Love all the new equipment theyve put up for the kids of our city!

Nice park with a stocked lake. Very nice park plenty of parking

Is a nice quite park

The Renaissance Faire is always so much fun! They have great food, tons of booths, music, dancing, etc.

This place is a great park, with several playgrounds, trails for walking, skating, and/or biking. Its a wonderful place to enjoy nature with the ducks. The place is also really clean.

Variety of kid appropriate toys. Lits of Venue space. Permits are not expensive. Pet friendly. Restrooms and grounds are kept very clean and tidy.

I love this place. It is beautiful and cleaner than ever. Just waiting for the swans and geese to return.

Its a great place to walk and self reflect. Great for Pokemon Go and its located in a high traffic area in case assistance is needed. The city just cleaned the pond and the park is looking cleaner and cleaner. Try not to go at night, feeling of security drops, due to the mix of unsavory individuals that frequent the area.

Its great here! love to relax in the grass and I am so happy they are cleaning the lake because my whole life I was pretty sad that the pool was very dirty. I also love how they have events and parties here! Again, so happy that they are cleaning it up .

One of my favorite places for a nice walk and get away

Nice place to take your kids for picnics and to feed the ducks.

Nice place for relaxing.

Its a really fun place to visit and have a good time with your family and friends

Clean. Many playgrounds and side walks for an afternoon stroll. They do many events here including the renisons fair. Super fun. You should go

The trout in Young park are easy to catch.

Love it very Relaxing and playgrounds for kids

Nice walk with the dog. People were friendly it was clean.

Basically I love this park. Ive lived here in this city since 1992, so I go down memory lane When I visit this park.

Great park!!

Its ok. The place is fairly clean and got a facelift recently but i miss the ducks.

Relaxing, nice walk path and picnic areas, nice variety of playgrounds

Great place to hold family gatherings or just take your kids to the park.

My fiance and I went to Youngs Park for the Renaissance Festival. We had a great time. Youngs Park is a perfect setting for this event. The winding pathways are perfect for the merchants booths, and evoke the feeling of a Medieval bazaar. Granted it was mmuch cleaner thsn the afore mentioned bazaar. The pond is a lovely spot. Too bad the ducks are gone. The Faire and the park made for a wonderful afternoon.

Loved the place all though the day i went everything was closed they were doing renovation around the pond but other then that very nice playground for the kids to play around and nice environment for your pets also my dog loved it.️

Loved it. Great place for my grandkids
