While it provides small walking distances, you can climb a few hills overlooking neighboring neighborhoods and farmland. There is a pleasant depiction of desert shrubs on the hillsides, and the lake (circled by a paved path) offers a cooling contrast on hot days. You will see people fishing. In the early mornings or evenings, this is a perfect place to stroll. There are plenty of rodents, coyotes, and different species of birds everywhere.

There is a superb playground. It has a smaller play platform that is a little older for younger children and a taller one for children. Both are among the trees with decent shade in the afternoon. Pleasant little park patch with really nice playing structures for kids plus a small element of water play. There is no toilet.

With a lot of unique slides, stairs, etc., this is a very cute park. A cool little park for all ages with swings and slides. Fun panel music. A chess board with a small table built into it. On the other side of the train tracks, tidy toilets. A lot of ants at a covered picnic table.
