Great park for flying kites. I would kite my paraglider wing but to many sand spurs to have to remove from it. The city needs to feterlize this large grass park!But great place for kids to play soccer and other sports and yes it has a baseball back stop!

... its a neighborhood park and in a good neighborhood too. Wide enough for any out door activities. Its got a public restroom and playground, basketball courts, benches but its better to sit on the grass under the few trees around the park. Not so many trees that you cant run into any of them if you running around the park. People BBQ Ive also seen people training athletically. Kites, drones, Nerf guns, water balloons theres plenty of room for it all.

Neighborhood park and nice for families. A bit small but nice. Basketball and volleyball courts and play area for children. Enough room for soccer and football. Overall a nice park.

Needs more green grass

This is a right sized park, if you are looking for playground, BBQ area etc. But not so large that you cannot have your children close. It is also close to the Maryvale PD precinct, so that also helps with people behaving appropriately. Would recommend this park for the future outings.

Be careful if you take your children here to play. I took my boys because this park has a lot of open field for football. However my younger boys love the swings and playground area. I went to check on my boys literally 5 steps away and there was a used condom. I couldnt believe it kids running around and theres an item like that just next to playground. Im very disappointed about the cleanliness of this park. Then I remember its Phoenix and this most likely will never be the last. Hopefully this helps get the city out there more to inspect and clean.

One of the Rangers there was a jerk. He kept telling us to hurry up when there was no one behind us or in front of us, he even insisted that we skipped a hole. Little old man with a hat and glasses needs to be fired. Other than that it was a pretty decent time and a very good course for the price.

One of the better parks in the area. You can rest here and spend a decent amount of time safely during the day. Remember to always abide by park hours which are clearly posted at various points around the park.

Nice small quiet park, only about 2 square blocks, with playground, volleyball and basketball courts, a baseball field and plenty of open space in between to walk your dog. Also has 2 large overhangs for birthday parties open restrooms and 2 drinking fountains. 2 .

The restrooms have no doors haha, other than that though, it has a small parking area, really good place to workout (it has a designated area for working out which is really neat), and create great memories. Ive been there when I was about 7 or 10 years old. Good times!
