| - A dog park, a skate park, and a regular park, all in one- plus softball/baseball diamond, soccer fields, basketball courts, my new favorite trail, and even some graffiti art covering various maintenance fixtures! Those are perhaps my favorite part, need to make a special trip here to take and upload photos- you can't miss the Pikachu alongside Desert Inn just past the crosswalk.
I usually come here for a quick trail run- it's a bit disorganized and the trail itself randomly ends going into the street, as if it originally was planned to extend over to the other side at one point? I just take the sidewalk the rest of the way around the perimeter of the park back to the car lots.
Plan ahead and consider coming early or carpooling if meeting a group here- on weekends and late afternoons, the lots are completely full. There's usually space by the waterpark/pool, if you don't mind walking.
Speaking of parking and walking- part of why this park doesn't have a higher rating is the people who come here and their inability to park properly. The dog park area has a red curb and lots of NO PARKING, FIRE LANE signage that is completely ignored, every frickin' day. Dude, if your dog can get around enough to GO to the dog park, they can handle walking across the parking lot.
I won't even get into the Chair People, policing the dog poop and tailgating out of their SUVs for days on end. They need to get up off their butts and find a hobby.
