Very well designed park. Play ground, tennis courts, splash pad, picnic, and open grass area all well maintained Vending machines and working water fountain. Also, dogs are welcome on a leash:)

Not alot of shade but good for field games and basic group picnic needs. Playground seems adequate...of course most kids are not very picky about that

Great park. Nice and clean. Has a playground and a water feature. Restrooms are open and functional. Nice walking path that takes you up a small hill overlooking the park. Bring some cash for the ice cream man!

It was an excellent summer experience! The park was kept super clean, and free lunch was even given out to all of the kids. They had plenty of shaded areas there too so that people dont overheat or get burnt. Ill definitely be coming back!

Today we went for D6 lunches! Very chill today. Overcast weather and the water is NOT on yet. Normally this park can be super crazy! When the water is on and its 99° outside; NOT TO MENTION THIS VIRUS. I guess Im speaking on before covid-19. Will post as summer ensues and virus protocol is enforced. Clean and calm today

This park is great! Tucked in a little away from the road it has water fountains and bathroom. During the summer it has a waterpark the rest of the year it has a nice set up. Fancy Merry Go Round large slides multiple swings. Also different sections for littler players. Large grass areas for picnics or just play. Tennis courts, picnic tables and nice paved pathways.

This is the type of park that other Parks wish they were. I was extremely impressed with the variety in the play structures and the water park area is fantastic. Took my daughter twice to this park in the week I was visiting the area. If I had one complaint, its that they had some shade cover in the regular playground area. Not enough to justify a 4 star, just something that would have been nice.Final thoughts:. I cannot recommend this park enough. Make sure your kids have a change of clothes or a swimsuit because they will definitely want to play in the water park area. The regular playgroind area is fantastic. There are many great obsticle type structures to help kids with balance and climbing. It will make you wish you were a kid again. Great spot for a a picnic and a huge grass area to play on as well.

I was able to rake my 5 yr old grandaughtwr there, and not have to worry about her stepping on broken glass, or pharrihanela, or even a creepy crawler gawking my granddaughter. The park was very clean, very family oriented. We look forward to many more visites to the park..

Great place to take kids for a fun time. How ever the tables and picnic area was trashed and very dirty may want to bring a blanket and sit on the ground to have a picnic.

I took my grandsons to play baseball. We had a great time. My friend and I walk through the park 3 times a week picking up trash. Have you considered banning pinatas? They make a big mess?

This is a nice place to go to cool off at splash pad. They have a couple of covered areas to eat at picnic tables & benches around splash pad. Lots of space for kids to run around on grass & play on playground. Nice parking lot

Review №38

Its big enough that in summer when the water features are turned on the kids have a good time going from the playground back to the water park. They should add some more picnic tables. Cant wait for the trees to grow some more and provide more shade for the middle of the day. Play and park for free.

Great water park. Great playground and lots of grass. Best to being a canopy for shade if you are going to be all day. But fun for free cant beat that.

Its was okay. Park we clean. However there was a couple in a blue pick up truck that didnt have kids and were just watching the kids. The lady got out and walked around with a dog which was weird. Cause she kept trying to talk to my kids and try to get him to run with her dog. Be careful

Beautiful, I love the way they created this park. The only thing I do not like is the shade. Personally i dont think theres enough extra shade for the amount of area for this park

Awesome place to take the kids, pets and your husband with his remote control cars- lots of grass area to play or picnic on. A huge playground and water section for the kids.

Awesome park for kids! Water park is perfect for the hot summer days. Most summer days free lunch is available for kids. Shade can be an issue and on busy days it can be hard to find a bench near the water park. Always clean and family friendly. Shady characters seem to stay away from this park.

Review №64

Don Jones Memorial Park is a really nice facility. Large field, covered pavilions, tennis courts, a splash park and a very large playground make this place very attractive. The park has not been around for a real long time, however, the maintenance has left a lot to be desired. Last visit it didnt appear that the bathrooms had been cleaned in a very long time. Hopefully visitors learn to take better care of the park as well.

Great splash park for the kids, lots of room and water for everyone. Only downside is there isnt much shade. The playground is also pretty big but again no shade so it gets a little warm.

This is a great park! It has a lot of playground equipment! There is something for older kids and little ones. There are baby swings and regular swings as well. There is also a splash pad here! Lots of different sprinklers to run and have fun in. There is also a lot of grass here, so bring some food and stay a while. Restrooms are close and have flushing toilets. Only down fall is there isnt a while lot of shade so bring some or come prepared!

Review №72

Nicely fenced playground, but the splash pad is right next to the main artery of the parking lot and is not fenced. If you go, bring camp chairs and something for shade, because theres not much of either.

If you have more than one kid, you need more than one adult to keep an eye on them. And bring your own sunblock/shade.
