Too many kids. No social distancing. And barely any mask. Be careful when you go

My baby always has fun in the fountain and wet sand area. My other son loves the skatepark so when we go both kids are happy. I also like that they have a little playground for toddlers where I don’t have to be petrified when my one year old climbs up it. They also have bathrooms at this park so it’s not just a gross porta potty. This is definitely one of our favorite parks to go to.

Fun for multi age and skill levels. Careful to time it when the gripey adult skateboarders arent there. They arent fond of children on scooters and will let the kids know if they do something that annoys them.

This is one of the best community parks Ive been to. There are lots of places to sit and walk around. Theres a wide range of activities to do such as skateboarding, soccer, and more. There are two big play areas for kids that feature great equipment and its good for hosting parties. Im lucky to live so close to it.

I always bring the boys to this park to ride scooters when we visit. It is a safe place to be. There is a nice playground for smaller kids. There are restrooms and water fountains on site if needed. This is a great park for scooters and skaters.

I love this park, especially for summer but man, there are some kids that really should have their parents around. One in particular is there often, his parents rarely interact with him and he (Im guessing about 8 or 9) loves to bully my 2 year old and any other small child that dares to play near him.

This is a great park so sit and listen to the world pass by and clear your head. Especially if youve got a spliff on hand.....you know what im sayin. But seriously its right next to the river so the scenery and surrounding area is magical.

Park is alright. Like most, lots of parents leaving their kids unattended. Teach your kids skatpark rules as an opportunity to teach them driving patterns.. it will keep them safe while youre not watching..

I have hosted a company team building event at this park for ~60 adult and have brought kids (age 3+) to play. There is a skate park, covered picnic area, outhouse-style restrooms, a splash pad area, a playground with sand and a LOT of open grass area to play. There is parking in the parking lot on the North Side of the park or street parking on the East and South sides. Drinking fountains - yes. No electrical for gatherings due to the splash pad. Easy access to the pavilion for caterers. Overall EXCELLENT park.

Discovery park is a great park to go too. Theres 2 gas stations close by and a Sprouts Farmers Market as well. The park itself is perfect for anyone. Theres also a pretty good skate park there as well. I recommend the skatepark for anyone. Uanyone thats never nd up but theres still plenty of park for beginners too! Theres alk/bike path all the way around with plenty of places to sit. The playground is nice and clean. Very well maintained as is the entire park. I strongly recommend Discovery Park to everyone looking to enjoy a nice day.

We just discovered this park about a month ago, and love it! Our almost two year old boy loves exploring everywhere, and although Ive heard it gets busy in the afternoon we never have problems in the morning. Usually by 10 there are others here, but if you have an early riser like we do youll enjoy having the run of the park.The skate park is fun for littles to watch, and there are plenty of cars and trucks passing by that are great entertainment as well. And the grounds are immaculate, the groundskeeper is friendly and inviting.This is our go to park!

The kids can play all day here. You have the splash pad and little play creek to cool off in. Then you have 3 play areas, one designated for smaller kids plus another one with sand and water to play in. Also the skate park is awesome. My boys bring their bikes or scooters. There are tables under a huge gazebo thing so you can bring lunch as well.

This park is great! The only downside is that its always busy. There are features to please everyone in the family, no matter what size! There is a skate park and a large field for running and playing. There are a couple covered areas with picnic tables. As for the playground, its amazing. There are water fountains to jump through, there is a beach area where kids can build sandcastles and get wet. There are swings. Lots of swings. There is a pretend play area for smaller kids to play. There is a padded area with a four-sided teeter-totter. There are different sized climbing structures, for all sized children. Then there is a completely separate area with a nature theme, where kids can ride on some really unique things, and also climb and slide. Theres also a parking lot for the park. There is no shade at this park (other than under the gazebos) so keep in mind that the structures can get very hot in the afternoon sun!

Review №91

Its a great park for little kids birthdays skating and biking the only problem is there are a few rough groups of kids that come here and they typically leave when the little kids get on the skatepark but not always. The police regularly are called out here to handle disputes on the skatepark with older kids smoking and being bullies to the little ones. The police presence have definitely increased my likability in coming here with my 3 and 5 year old who skate at 4 to 7 skate parks a week.
