Went here for July 4th and had a good time…read more There was free parking at the nearby church and also paid parking at the park, but since there would be a 30 mins. delay to get out of the paid parking to let pedestrians through after the fireworks, I opted for the free parking even though it was a further walk. It was annoying trying to get to the parking lot itself because almost all the ways Google Maps was telling me to get there was blocked off. I understand that they were trying to funnel people into one entrance, but when you have to make several detours trying to get to just one place, it gets really irritating. Anyway, once we were there, food trucks and porta potties were neatly lined up and there were also inflatable playgrounds for the kids to play at that you had to sign a waiver for. Food selection was good. I was happy there were a couple of vegan/vegetarian selections. I highly recommend bringing an umbrella and bottles of water because even though we came late in the afternoon, the sun was still blazing and people were hiding in the shade of the trees. The park is huge, so there's plenty of space to spread out and even if you leave your spot several times like we did, there's always a new spot to find which is just as good as the last one. There was a stage with live bands playing 80s to 90s music with intervals of recorded present day music. I'm fairly sure the woman who sang in the first band sang the national anthem and she was amazing! There was a section in front of the stage roped off as a dance floor and it was fun seeing everyone from a cute elderly couple to parents with kids dancing and enjoying themselves. The fireworks are right behind the stage and because we chose to sit right up front close to the stage, right behind the roped off dance floor, we could just lay down on our towels and watch the fireworks which is easier on the neck. Since we came a little before 5 when they officially opened and entertainment is basically just listening to the live band, eating, drinking, and people watching I admit there were times when I wish we had come a little later because it is a long 4 hour wait, but still it was a nice day to be outside sitting or laying down on the grass on a beautiful Friday afternoon, which like the announcer had said was a gift to us since some countries have neither the luxury or freedom to do so. Overall, it was a good experience. It's very family oriented, safe, casual and relaxed.

We have been playing soccer games here for the past 10 years. The parking is atrocious, they have…read morenice-ish fields and a fun playground. The restrooms are never clean or well maintained, ie clogged toilets, no toilet paper, no working sinks. The big field at the front where the older kids play is ridiculous with their big kicks, the ball is always flying towards that parking lot or over the back hill. All in all, it's definitely one of the more average-ish fields we play at, but the actual fields themselves are pretty well maintained.
