Jacob S: Park itself is nice, walkway is a little rough and prone to flooding during rain and currently the playground slide is broken.
The real issue is dog waste and the amount of irresponsible dog owners that let their dogs off leash. Especially when it is next to a playground and school. There are signs with the park rules when you enter that explain dog waste needs to be picked up and animals left on leashes but this is ignored. Every time I go to this park there is lots of dog feces everywhere.
Bigger signs explaining that it is not an off leash park need to be posted, this is a liability when children are present. Dogs on leashes are fine, I go with my own dog but I don’t let her off leash.
Kitty Kitty: Ducks, geese, birds everywhere, even turtles in the pounds. Large water feature and two playgrounds. Picnic areas with tables and plenty of shade. Very comfortable, clean park that felt safe with my two kids. Would recommend stopping here.
Mr. Thompson: Great playground. Good to see kids playing and having fun without a smartphone. Grass areas are properly maintained and the water fountains all work.
Wendy Penning: I was invited to a 1st birthday party at this park. The weather was perfect. We shared the picnic area with other parties but all were respectful and friendly. There are plenty of tables, trash cans, a community BBQ firepit area. The restrooms were within walking distance. The only downside I experienced was the lack of privacy doors to the restroom doors. Kind of reminded me of some campgrounds. (Which didnt bother me as a kid, but was a little unnerving). After the first trip, I brought a friend and we took turns waiting outside. Several people brought dogs and picked up after them. They were all friendly.
Kaylie Sagara: Great spring hike! I imagine it would be pretty brutal during the summer though, almost no shade and no where to refill your water. Decent amount of parking spots, don’t forget to bring $5 cash. The tower trail or middle valley make a loop with the Ken Poerner trail, some parts can be steep and the trail isn’t well marked on Ken Poerner, but beautiful peaceful views! Lots of cute cows too.
Che: NO DOGS ALLOWED. Please be respectful of this for health of wildlife and ecosystem.
Lovely hike through oak woodlands and a variety of wildflowers. So nice to see the tadpoles in the small pond. Various levels of difficulty of hiking, but definitely lots of uphill. Lots of exposure in the sun but some cover in the oak. Woodlands. No parking fee at Cobblestone trail.
