Bike Park review:…read more Not many parks are big enough for a dirt bike area but thankfully Bayou Gulch is! There are 3 bike areas, beginner, intermediate and advanced. All 3 have obstacles, hills, bridges etc. Kids of all ages and adults could spend many an hour here. I would highly recommend. Negative: there are almost no trees, so in the summer it would be super hot. Notes: the bike park is not in the same area as the playground and baseball fields (I got lost) so double check directions if you haven't gone before. There is a covered table area and a port a potty at the parking lot area. The bike trails are a short walk from the parking lot. Dogs are allowed just leashed at all times.

One thing I will warn is this summer has been a high rattlesnake year probably because of the construction nearby. I've heard of two bites and we had an encounter with one last week. I will definitely go because it's still my favorite but taking a short break while rattlesnake season is high. It's a beautiful park though so I hope you check it out at some point.

Lots of slides, two "baby" swings, two regular swings, some bouncy horses, a huge play structure to climb, music station -- lots of opportunity for fun and creativity here! I also noticed there are many sites that mention disc golf in association with this park -- I can see that there would be a good amount of space for that as there are many grassy areas. I didn't see any disc golfers there when I was with my little one though! There is a lot of grass, well-maintained, as well as many cement paths to walk. This looks like a great spot to bring young ones, and it seems that the community makes sure it's well taken care of as well. A fun park!!

My dogs are bigger and need more room to run however. Important things: There are "regulars" (humans) who tend to gather in the middle area to chat which can mean they are not watching their dogs closely. Always pick up your dogs poop! There are plenty of trash cans and poop bags throughout the park. There is a short walk from the parking lot to the park, make sure your a dog is leashed the whole time. Heritage Regional Park is extremely busy in the summer (hundreds of soccer games every weekend) parking lot may be full.

However, it is sadly extremely common for people to bring unneutered and poorly mannered male dogs, who want to hump everything in sight. Since this is my go-to spot when crunched for time, I have seen a tremendous number of nearly-horrible situations, mostly caused by owners who haven't spent the time socializing or training their dogs. There is also an issue of mud. Forget about coming here when the snow is melting or after a rain. It is MUDDY. The dog park is sloped and the entrance is at the bottom of the hill, and so a lot of the water collects there. There is also no grass or gravel. All in all, it's a decent place to go, but I prefer Glendale open space because there is more room for the dogs to spread out, it's normally much drier even after the snow melts, and has a real walking path.

Wow, what a beautiful park! Tallman Meadow Park is in one of the newer communities on the…read moresouth-eastern side of Parker. Cross streets are Hilltop Road and Canterbury Parkway, across the street from the high school. The fact that this park is newer really shows. All of the landscaping is immaculate, and the grass looks like it belongs on a golf course. I was so surprised to find this gem tucked away out here in the country! Amenities include a large gazebo with picnic tables, two charcoal barbecues, paved jogging trails, and a (mostly flat) grassy field. Additionally there are tons (literally!) of modern playground equipment on wood chips, including slides, swings, and a variety of jungle gyms. One potential negative is that the bathroom facilities appear to be port-a-potty style rather than a permanent structure with running water (I also did not see a drinking fountain anywhere). I did not personally have to visit the facilities during our afternoon here, so I can't speak to how nasty they may or may not be. I didn't hear anyone else comment about them, though, so maybe they're okay!
