Great park with a splash pad, playground, tennis, picnic areas. Restrooms were open with soap and water available during these times. No basketball court, but not a big deal breaker. Great shady spots and good for all age kids.

Great splash pad! There are several picnic tables and shaded areas. Restrooms are also available which is great with kids! There are several cool water features to keep all of the kids entertained... we also had the same issue with the slide that I saw another reviewer mention, my kids hit their head coming down. They learned to overcome it but it was a pain point to begin with! While we were there a storm blew through and there are sirens that go off to warn the crowds when lightning is nearby and to get out of the water for safety. It sounds again when it’s clear to go back in. I thought this was a nice safety feature! Definitely plan on going back, with my 3 kids it was easy to sit in one place and be able to oversee all of them.

My kids and I spent all of the 4th weekend here, would recommend to any family. Absolutely lovely splash pad, the perfect size, lots of seating for parents and grills available for use. There is also a playground behind the splash pad, a trail, and a snack lady that comes everyday with 2$ popsicles and Mexican snacks!

Simple but very entertaining for the kids...especially when its packed. But its nice being able to sit at the tables and watch my kids every move because its not that big. Just big enough. Theres plenty seating all around. Covered and not covered. Theres a play park in the same field. Parking is available alllll the way around via parking lot or right along the street. Might have to walk a little but not bad.

We went to the Spray Park area where the pool used to be. I took my almost 4 years old grand daughter and she was thrilled. We went on a Sunday around 6pm and it wasnt very busy. She had a blast running thru the sprayers. I was thrilled for her. The spray park is a covered park so not to worry much about your child getting sunburned. Still, I do recommend putting sunscreen on your little one. There are also benches to sit on under the covering over the top of the spray park. Not all of the benches are under the covering but several are. This is a great spray park for all kids but especially for toddlers who love running thru spraying water and screaming from getting wet and laughing from all of it. We will definitely be going again.

I live bringing my kids here. If you have older kids then be prepared to bring them squirt guns and splash toys. There are grills in the area and a beutiful deck with shade. There is an ice cream man or woman at all time so bring cash. I have my kids pick up 10 pieces of trash each to help keep the area clean. I suggest we all do our part.

I love this splash playground! Perfect for Texas heat. My favorite part is the umbrella pouring water down and the coconuts also filled and pouring down. The kids absolutely love this place. Its so much better than most small splash parks. There are plenty picnic tables all around with shaded area. Restrooms nearby (could be cleaner, no A/C). There is a regular (no splash) playground with swings behind the restrooms that the kids also love. Water does pool all around the splash area and it makes everything muddy around the perimeter. Perhaps they need to extend the concrete sidewalk and make the wider. But its still an amazing park!! Tennis courts nearby.

Love this park. There is abundant shade and the landscape is pleasing and accommodating for Multi-purpose(s). Local practices with soccer, softball and baseball team provide a welcomed backdrop. Plus, the ducks on the small man made lake is quite serene. There is also a dock from which you may feed the birds that pass by. Very nice, clean and peaceful!

Review №51

Great splash pad! 3 different shaded patios with multiple picnic tables underneath. Kids love the splash pad. The only issue was the slide. Several kids (including mine) continued to hit their head going down if they didnt slide just right. Super slippery and if they are leaning slightly to the side its enough to make them hot their head on the bottom or side of the slide. Hope the city can do something to repair, replace or remove it. In the meantime, just avoid it.

This one is good if you get there as they open you can stay about an hour before the bigger kids come. They do have schools that visit, which is a lot of mostly un-supervised kids. Can get very dangerous for the smaller ones.

Its is a great park my kids love it. My only complaints are that we have to be very careful of broken glass, my son cut his foot on a piece during our second visit and I also dont like that a bunch of school age kids gather around and skateboard in front of the bathrooms with no regard to anyone but themselves, they are loud and rude.
