We first visited this park when it was still under construction last year. The Trails Day Celebration was held here and it was far from completion at that time.
Fast forward to today and it is a beautiful park with a great 1+ mile loop around a cute pond that is home to a few families of ducks, geese and other birds. Unlike Sunset Park, it has lights along the path that circles the pond and has less shrubbery and such. As a woman, I would feel safer running or walking here instead of Sunset Park when it is in the evening.
It does not have as much as Sunset has to offer, but it has a few covered picnic tables, some that are off to themselves (Perfect for a romantic picnic). It has clean restrooms and SOAP in the bathroom. NOTE TO PARKS AND REC - I appreciate the water and toilet, but soap is great too! Heritage Park and Sunset Park do not have soap.
There is a basketball court and sand volleyball/badminton court, so don't forget your shuttlecock! Game on!
I am anxious to visit this park at dusk.
Enjoy! Even in the heat... as long as you stay hydrated (water fountains by the ladies room).
