    Big tree!
    Darla D.

    This is a small decent park, we had a picnic and the kids ran around. It was a nice day out and a nice place to stop off and have our lunch. The park is in a quiet residential area on one side but right of Route 66 on the other. Street parking is ok. Mostly locals are here in the park taking a nice stroll or break. There is a nice covered gazebo to just be able to sit and take in some fresh air and of course don't forget the giant tree that the park is named after.

    Took my parents to visit this tree since we were very impressed with its cousin in Santa Barbara. I can see why ppl ask if wedding are aloud, which they are for a small fee for permit. But know it's not gated, it's next to single family homes & a business parking lot across. But there wasn't a lot of vehicular traffic & I couldn't hear the main road nearby. There roots of the tree are not corded off like I had read, but I figure it's common sense to not try & climb & not step on the roots for generations to come. The minus one star is just bc it's quite far from anything else worth visiting, but can be a slight detour on your way out to Vegas.

    I had to walk halfway down the block to get this picture,

    Well they got the name right. The is more than just big. It is really, really big. Big enough in fact that it covers the whole park. It is a Moreton Bay Fig, native to Australia and was planted in 1880. It is 90 foot in height and the roots cover over 1,200 square feet. Now that's a big tree.

    There is a gazebo to sit under but I simply wandered around this massive tree trunk and admired its size.

    When I move, you move (Just like that)…read moreWhen I move, you move (Just like that) Hell yeah, hey DJ brin' that back... You can move all around this park. 5/5 Amenities From pickleball, to the playground or doing Ollie's on the skate park. There are a lot of activities you can do at this location. There are courts for pickleball or tennis, fields for baseball or soccer, picnic tables all over for you to take a load off or paved walkways for you to get your steps in. 5/5 Trees Nothing beats having large trees to give you shade on sunny days. Rainy days are a different story. 5/5 Parking Parking all around the park. You can even park right next to the kids playground. Overall solid park to fit whatsoever your heart desires. So be sure to move and Psalm 119:89, God bless

    Other than folks mistakenly referring to it as 'Finkbinder', we love our local G-town park…read more I think the additional 'd' might come from an old 50's themed restaurant in the Village called Fender Benders (sp?), which closed many years ago - and folks confusing the two. But, that said, only old Glendorans would be making that mistake and yet I hear folks of all ages add the 'd'. The park has lots of amenities we've used since our kids were born and even before... - summer concerts and movies in the park - birthday or event areas (Scouting) - playground - tennis court (other side taken by pickleball :( - skate park - sports fields - horseshoes - volleyball - community center And more. We love walking through the park on the way to the Village. If you haven't been, worth checking out pretty much any day of the week. So many fond memories created at Finkbiner. Even Pokémon Go events, haha.

    The only reason for the 4 stars is the lack of shade. I swear all parks are designed by people…read morewithout kids. There's a shaded area for eating with 2 picnic tables under it, but that's it. The entire play structure and swings are in the beating sun 100% of the time. Today was a very mild 75 degree early summer day and we went early around 10:45. Within 30 minutes of arrival, the slides were so hot our almost 2 y/o son physically reacted every time he touched them. The park is in a very nice and quiet residential area. There's nothing but street parking, but the streets are wide and not busy. The grounds were very clean and well kept. The bathrooms even had soap AND paper towels - yay! Like others said, this structure is mostly appropriate for a toddler as young as ours. He even did ok on the winding slide. Some slides are so steep that he falls forward even though they're supposed to be geared at toddlers, but all 3 slides here were fine for him. However, the only way to get up are monkey bar-like stairs (skinny metal bars) that no toddler can safely use, then the other side has stairs. The stairs are way too far apart for a young one to do alone. He either had to crawl or we held his hands while he took giant steps lol. If you get bored at this park, there are 2 more within ~5 blocks or less heading west! They're off the same street, too. Just go to the north of the block north of the park and take a left and you'll see 2 others fairly quickly. We'll definitely be back because of how clean and safe it felt.

    Nice, safe and clean park for toddlers. My son loves to play here. The neighborhood is very quietread more
