This is an excellent third space for walking, running, and biking (with caution)…read more Flat terrain, no shaded areas, but most of all the sense of community from the regulars who trek Hansen Dam. I've been visiting for a year on a weekly basis. One thing to be mindful for are the horse scat droppings that some horse riders apparently are careless to pick after. I've walked during the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening time. I've felt safe during all times of day and even bring my family on weekends.

My friend and I were headed to the Watermelon festival and we took the long way around which gave…read moreus an amazing tour of just how huge this place is. There are so many fields of grass that I believe are used for sports and then a lake that's for fishing it looks really clean and well maintained. The grass that I saw was soft and green with wildflowers, I did not see any foxtails so that's a plus! This would be a great location to bring my dog to walk and play and there's tons of trees providing shade! Looking across the way and seeing the actual Damn is pretty cool, it looks like a very grand structure!

The staff is super friendly and absolutely incredible in many many ways ... they helps us with so much of the food setup and decorating and even helped us during the ceremony. The playground itself is sooo fun and so interactive, so many games and activities available for all ages. The patio area was so beautiful and relaxing. The bathrooms were so clean and so convenient if you have young kids with diapers. Overall my experience was so positive and lovely that we can't wait to go back for open play time and to have family events and even my sons birthday there. Thank you again for your wonderful staff.

This place is deceptively small. I almost missed it driving here. I had been to the pizza place…read morenext door, would have never guessed it was here. It was small but I guess that's all my daughter needed. Looks more of a party spot as the front had tables and chairs and had a balloon arch. The back half was a small ball pit, a small trampoline, some toys and some squishy play areas. It was $15 an hour but you probably don't need more than that. It was 90 degrees outside, has to ask the guy to turn on the AC, which he did. Overall this place was okay - mostly clean but they could have kept it up better since no one else was there. Also a few broken toys.

I've been coming here for the past year and I am NOT disappointed. At the beginning I thought it…read morewas a bit overpriced but then I realized the peace and cleanliness is totally worth it. We celebrated my son's 2nd birthday last September and everyone loved this hidden gem. Everything is clean and up and running. The staff is friendly and very helpful when it comes to time, we have the monthly membership and it's a total deal $39 a month for 3 months minimum (M-F 1hr) and we usually get 15 mins extra in each visit. Today we came in and noticed this gentleman,Suro, cleaning and making sure all the equipment is up and running, I've seen him multiple times, checking for safety and maintenance. I feel really comfortable leaving my kids in this playground. I am a fan of this place! Tip: You can bring your own grip socks or pay $5 for a pair. There is plenty of FREE parking.

I visited Jumping Club recently and was concerned by what I witnessed. From my experience, the…read morefloors did not seem to be adequately monitored. While there, I observed a couple near the bungalows kissing and groping each other in a children's play area while their kids played nearby. What was most concerning was that staff did not appear to address the situation. I also noticed that many of the employees assigned to the play areas were sitting down and talking among themselves rather than actively monitoring the floor. As a parent, I did not feel comfortable having my children around that type of behavior in a family-oriented environment. Because of this experience, even though we are locals, we have chosen not to continue giving this business our support. I believe closer supervision and more attentive staff presence would help create a safer and more appropriate atmosphere for families. This was our experience and a reply/justification attempt will not change it.

I agree with the other reviews - there are homeless and druggies that hang out here...but I will…read morealso say that the park rangers have done a good job in cleaning up and taking out homeless encampments. I've also seen police cruisers go by a lot- particularly at night. It was interesting to watch, and this happened a few days before Christmas...they took a truck and drove it onto the grounds and, no warning, park workers started hauling off this homeless couple's mattress, tent, grocery carts and other belongings. The couple scrambled to grab a few things. I had definite mixed feelings about it. The park can be very quiet and pretty otherwise. There are two play areas with new equipment, a baseball field, a little skate park, tennis courts and a senior center. There's a post office and church and convalescent home right across the street. There's a picnic area with a few tables and what looks to be an old stone fireplace. There are lots of pine trees and pine cones during most of the year which brings squirrels. The larger parking lot - there are two of them- serves as a Christmas tree recycling drop off (as you'll see from my pictures). There's also a veteran's memorial out front and the July 4th parade goes right past it. Overall, a generally safe and quiet place - but stay aware of the riffraff when they appear...
