So for a ride back, we looked up a park to stop at on our way home. Optimist Park came up on Yelp and the pictures looked promising. We stopped here and I dropped off the fam while I went and grabbed lunch. It was not well covered, but it wasn't way too hot for our kids to play. Once I picked up lunch, they had great tables for us to dine after a good playtime. The bathrooms were clean and I would recommend this park for anyone in our same situation. I wish we had this park in our neighborhood. Great stop if you are looking for a good place to get some energy out for the kiddos.

The best part of playing the Desert Fox Disc Golf Course is that you get to experience Paul B…read more Johnson State Park. However, the course itself left me feeling a little disappointed, especially since I made a 2 hour drive for a day trip and was not staying overnight. My 3 star review is on the very generous side as this is a borderline 2.0 -2.5 stars were it not for the great scenery of the park and the potential that is still there for an above average course. It would have been helpful if the park had signage directing you to the course (hole 1), but we had to drive aimlessly through the park until we finally saw the "Desert Fox" sign. According to the I-Phone app "U-Disc", the course has 23 holes, as is reflected by the electronic scorecard. However, we only found 18 holes and this was confirmed by the map we printed and actually playing the course. I highly recommend using a map, as the path from hole to hole is not always entirely clear. I think the old course design had 23 holes; prior to the addition of the 9 hole Little fox course. The first thing I noticed when we started (02/07/2015) was that the level of the lake was very low. Hole # 1 had a nice downhill shot with the basket being near the lake. Be careful of the water's edge, as even though I did not throw in the water, the ground under my feet was extremely soft and I was sinking a little. Note to self to only play this course wearing old shoes, as there is a huge potential to get them muddy and/or wet. Hole # 2 feature a slight uphill that we had to play through a smokescreen, as the park regularly burns pine needles and leaves to keep the undergrowth at bay. Note to self to bring an extra towel to wipe the soot off my disc from all the recently burned areas on multiple fairways and greens. Several holes have multiple tees (pro tee & amateur tee) to offer a bit more of a challenge. The baskets are showing their age and many are a bit rusty. However, the chains were all intact and functioned properly. Hole # 4 is the signature hole and usually throws out to a small peninsula. However, with the water being so low, my throw was over a vast expanse of smelly, shoe swallowing, disc grabbing mud. Note to self to always bring my 18 foot telescopic pole to retrieve discs from water and/or mud. The park's huge lake comes into play on multiple holes as it borders fairways, pins, forces water carry (when water is not low), and emphasizing precise disc placement. I actually enjoyed the wood sections that forced you to throw within a narrow corridor of trees. Any off target shots were immediately punished with ricochets off of trees and/or discs entangled in thick blood drawing briars. All in all it was a good day, and if I ever found myself camping here, I would be sure to play this course again. However, I don't foresee any road trips here solely for the purpose of playing this mediocre course.

A lot of old exhibits have been refreshed and they have added new ones. The signage and graphics and educational materials are all bright and fresh (and educational!). The animals seem to be happy and well kept. The staff we talked to were enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. This is a fun little zoo with a nice collection of animals. I was blown away by the giraffe exhibit. There is a little flock of flamingos that I could just stand and watch for hours, and the prairie dog exhibit is too cute for words. Go and see for yourself. Be aware they are not open on Mondays. This has caught me a number of times on Monday holidays (Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.) when I had a day off work and was looking for something to do. Sorry, no zoo today! They are open every other day of the week. The zoo is open from 10-4 and this is plenty of time to see everything. There is food and a splash pad and a carousel and a train to ride. This is all fun, but for me a zoo is all about the animals. This little zoo does not disappoint.
