Large park with ample space and basic facilities. Their is playground equipment near the ball fields for little ones that cant sit still. The equipment looks to be newer within the last few years. The ball field is still in decent shape but in places starting to show aging. Still the green space is pleasant and the area appears to be safe. Ive seen police patrol the area or may just be setting up for speeders along the busy roadway. It should be a quiet place to pack a lunch and bring the family for a couple hours.

Nice mellow transitions! All painted steel ramps. Awesome set up...great place to create a run or just flow from one end to another. Well done! Met several wonderful people at the park.

We were at this park for a baseball game. Neither the men or womens bathroom had toilet paper or paper towels. We could not find anyone to talk to about this problem. If you must go there this weekend for baseball, be sure you stop somewhere first to use their restrooms.

I went here to watch my grandson play a baseball game. The field and bleachers were very well kept. I was disappointed with the restroom facility. It was dirty and all but 1 fixture was broken. No sink to wash your hands. I think this is an asset and hope the city continues to maintain it.

Very sad to know theres NOT going to be a swimming pool there any more. I dont know who the city talked to when they decided to put in a water splash area instead of the pool. I was under the idea that the pool was over 30 years PAST ITS S PRIME. And the city has been collecting money from the swim passes every year for over 30 yrs. Why didnt they put some of that money collected towards the NEW POOL WHEN NEEDED?

ONeal parks is really nice. We were just at the baseball diamond but it has a number of other activities. The baseball diamond is very nice and well taken care of with plenty of shade.

The park district didnt unlock the gates for us until 20 minutes after our reservation, so our softball players had to hurry through warmups. We felt like we should have provided tetanus shots after being in the dugout, the field was prepped like a ski mogul, and we had a homeless visitor stop by to pee on a tree.

The pool is wonderful! Its big w/ designated lap lanes, two areas for free swim, and two diving boards and slides. All it needs is a new kiddie pool and a refurbishing of the locker rooms, and it will then be perfect!

I go swimming here, along with a lot of older people. It is great, we dont have a whole lot of noise and a whole lot of people that we have to watch out for. Please dont tear it down

This is a nice park we brought our little guy here for his first time at the park it was a wonderful day. They have a swimming pool and a skate park here as well which is pretty cool too.

The playground is just ok. There is a lot of grassy space but usually overgrown and so more bugs. The pool is fun and pretty well maintained. My kids love the diving boards!

Really like the 2 shallow area for my 4 year old.. and the price.. $4 per person. They also do let you book the entire pool for events after hours (which is a little pricy obviously) but super cool to have the entire place to yourself
