No illicit behavior, no bums lying about, no degenerates up to no good, just a good clean little park. I mean let's face it, if you're at a park for any reason, you should be enjoying yourself right? It's your average neighborhood park, on the smaller side and pretty simple. Decent playground equipment for the wee ones and a half decent sized open field for a friendly game of catch. I see a lot of older folk walking their dogs there often. Almost as if there's a club that gathers there from time to time. My main qualms, though trivial, are that it's small and right on a really busy road. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you live in the area, she'll do in a pinch.

Sweet little neighborhood park tucked away off Montgomery, with some big fields to roam around, a…read morefew trees to climb, and some playground equipment, including slides and swings (big kid swings and bucket swings both). It's in my regular rotation, because the convenient location and fact that I've never seen it crowded make it easy to stop by, however briefly, when the kids could use some park time. I'd say this play structure is good for preschoolers but kids much older than 5-6 might find it a little boring or tire of it quickly. A great park to stop by on your way home!

I come to this park whenever my sister is in town with my niece. It is quiet, clean, and I feel…read moresafe in this neighborhood. It has a basketball court, a play area for kids age 5 and up, and a large grassy area. There are picnic tables and fun lizard sculptures that can be climbed on. Dogs are welcome and they have a watering station and bags available to clean up after them. My niece is 2, and the playground equipment is geared for older kids. The slide is steep and there are places a toddler could fall from easily. It would be nice if some of the parks in the area had a toddler area available. I love coming here, I would go more often but I'd probably look like a creeper if I was at the playground without my niece.

Hence, I had the pleasure of experiencing the place that's way too far off my beaten path to have ended up here otherwise. It's a modestly sized neighborhood park that might be the pride of the community, with minimal bald patches in the thick, manicured grass; no piles of poop spotted, drying in the high-desert sun; shady trees turning gorgeously colorful in the autumn; tennis court and playground, which I dare say likely features no discarded hypodermics even. I think this park was well planned to accommodate the leisure needs of all your family members -- kite-flying, dog-walking, grass-jogging, monkey-barring, and tennis. Exceptions: I only saw a couple picnic tables, and no restroom facilities.

The Good: Bocce ball! Small dog park. Tennis courts. Decent play structure, slanted for the…read moreyoungish set. Swings. Unique tiered leveling allows kids to tell secrets about Santa Claus while mom/dad obliviously talk shop with the neighbors and throw the ball to Lassie. The Bad: No recreational expanse for games/soccer tournaments, whatever, it's a small place. The Verdict: Oh, man, the views around here. Every time I visit the foothills I get jealous, we were there as a storm front approached, talk about dramatic skies with a Sandia/Mordor backdrop. But the bocce ball court(?) was the real take-away. Lovingly maintained by locals with a rake to smooth things out, there's a bench dedicated to some guy who obviously loved this little spot, and underneath the bench -- yes! -- a set of bocce balls in a bag. All I could think, and say aloud, was that if this park was located in my 'hood, ain't no way that bocce ball bag would be there in the morning. This is public recreation in the Heights, y'all, these people respect the commons.

It is large, lush, very well maintained, in a good location and has things that other parks do not offer (tennis courts, kids playground, architectural structures, and chalks/ dog poop bag stations). Sometimes there are neighborhood/local fairs going on as well. People there are nice and polite..and because the park is so large, everyone can have their own space enjoying the park. I try to take my dogs there sometimes and they loved how expansive and lush the place is (one of my dogs loves rolling on the greens there!). Overall, a wonderful park and everyone really helps keep the place clean. Definitely a great place to enjoy your day!
