Its an okay park.Pros-It has a nice open grassy area for running around and playing soccer.-The park area was clean and free of litter.-The playground has 2 roofed sections tot play in- filled with swing sets, tube and open aired slides, seesaws, and monkey bars.Cons-It was hard to find the parking area to get closest access to the playground. The first time around, I did street parking that faced the grassy field, and it appeared that I had to traverse the field to reach the playgrounds at the other end.

Optimist park is a double-waterbasin park designed for water conservation. Together they are about a city block in size. Most of the trees are very young there. There are 11 barbecue areas there, 6 in one basin & 5 in the other, older basin that has a few older trees. There is a wide burm separating the two basins. There was a play area for the kids on the newer side. No other amenities were available. It is used a lot for quite a few dogs being walked, and some had dogs off leash to chase a ball. All but one of the dogs were quite large, many were Pitbulls, pit-mixes and German Shepherds so I could not relax while walking as I felt I need to be ever vigilant, nor could my dog make friends there0. None but one of the people there were open for contact. Most walked in clearly familiar groups of 6. This is not a place Id return to use again. Im grateful & relieved the walk went without incident.

Not many parks with covered play grounds in the area that if found, so thats nice. The park was clean and the other parents and kids there where courteous and polite. Added bonus of no one sleeping at this park.
