Really beautiful park, seems pretty new. Theres plenty of open grass space for football or soccer on either side and a trail. Theres also caged in tennis courts and basketball courts. The playground equipment is pretty cool theres a newer kind of see saw that fits more children which is great, a carousel and some benches the kids can move in like a ride. Its nice how big the playground equipment is it prevents there having to be lines or kids not getting a turn. Theres also permanent ping pong tables and bags setup but byo bags to throw. Great park we love it

Great place for the whole family. Fairly large play ground for the kids. Various sports fields and courts. Baseball, wide open field, and even basketball courts. Public bathrooms, with picnic style seating outside, as well. Nice and short path to walk on on the perimeter of the whole park. Very close to various restaurants and in a great neighborhood. Lots of parking! Overall, a great weekend type place to hangout with the family and friends.

Clean, fun for kids, picnic areas and restrooms. Ball fields, tennis and pickle ball courts all were in top notch condition. Great for family fun or to walk the dog.

Turf infield, bleachers to sit on, water fountain (on the first night, off the second), porta potty close by or regular washrooms a short walk away, lights at night, no trash lying around, very nice. Warning: Youll likely catch the baseball coach at Taft watching the game.

Lovely large park, lots of greenery, picnic table area, tennis courts, basketball and baseball. Not as busy as I would have thought it should be. Also four pokestops and two gyms in the park.Park is at the moment having some improvements done but there is still more than ample space.The one downside is that there can be a lot of litter around the basketball area. This is unfortunate, there is a single bin but it may not be enough.Oct 2020 update: awesome upgrades, the park is getting more use. Baseball being played almost every night. Lovely area to stroll through or spend some time. The only downside is two areas that have been dug out, resulting in a muddy morass when it rains - not sure what the intent behind the larger dug out area is.

Its a quiet place where you can have some peaceful time but morning or 9am -11 a.m its almost nobody rarely see anyone,we go frequently and live close by,another thing is the playground has been not updated for a long time same old swings,slides,tennis court,and basketball(basketball is popular as many people come for it) also their are matches on weekends (baseball)(soccer) but overall its a good relaxing place for a family and kids. Bathroom are closed till April so they start opening it close to summer maybe around may.

This park have nothing for Children. Its a shame all that room and nothing for Children ( more swings More monkey bars just more childrens equipment) Also volleyball court is a swimming poolYour 2nd. Baseball field never used or maintain ( why?) Your park is a JOKE and I really that! Why even a 2nd. Field (BB). Field Id use for Soccer not baseball. In a scale of one to ten. Park is rated a 2.

My sisters house is right next to this park and her kids are always running towards the swings. I go with them sometimes to watch them do goofy stuff and its fun. Its a very relaxing place to go for a walk or watch local teams play. My only beef is that dogs are not allowed but hey I dont visit my sister with my dogs so Im OK with that.

Great, clean, and well maintained park. It has a baseball diamond, parking lot, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a kids playgrounds. The cleanest sitting and restroom area Ive ever seen for a public park.

A little tricky to get to but once there it was fine. A friend of mine and I met here to play some frisbee and it was great. Tons of space.

The play area is terrible! Small children are unable to climb onto any of the equipment. The stairs, which are small, round, metal poles, are open and so far apart it is impossible to climb safely. Time for some changes to make a safer play ground.

Park can be infested with mosquitoes later on in the day. Theres a water fountain, tennis court, basketball court, some sand for the volleyball court (with low hanging and bad nets), and obviously the baseball fields up front and a wee bit in the back.
