The park is pretty nice as well, you can paint a rock and add it to the snake rock garden if you would like.

I start at the bottom near Silver Shadow and walk up to the recreation center. They're are restrooms and a faucet if you need water for your pups. I like to use the trails instead of the main walking road it gives me more of a workout. Keep an eye out for rattlesnakes from March through October. If you let them pass they aren't a threat. I do this walk/hike by myself it's never stopped me. I love it here

It's a fun neighborhood park, with some extra-special things…read more First of all, the lake. From this park, there's a nice, flat, shaded walk around Discovery Lake. It's relaxing and beautiful. Many times of the day, there's enough of a breeze to keep things cool. Second, there's a fun playground for the kiddos. Even if you don't have kids with you, I like hearing the sound of kids playing. I enjoy that this is a great place to start for a hike up to Double Peak Park. If you are working your way up to hiking further, you don't need to go very far to get to some nice view spots.

The flat trail around the lake makes for a peaceful walk, and if you're looking for more of a challenge, you can continue up to Double Peak (maybe next time for me!) The scenery is beautiful, the trails are well-maintained, and there's plenty of space to unwind. I'd love to bring my niece and nephew here this summer for a playground and picnic day. They would have a blast exploring and enjoying the open space! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

First to watch our granddaughter play soccer and next to watch her play Friday Night Lights Flag Football. The park is easy enough to get to and parking is not bad even with youth sports taking place. The park has a pool, playground, tennis courts, a basketball court, sports fields and a baseball diamond. There are mature trees for shade and some spots for a picnic. We seem to visit more parks now that we have grandchildren. It is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spending time with the grandkids is one of the greatest joys in my life.

I lounged under the shade of a tree and watched people playing soccor while I was there. There are also plenty of baseball fields. I will return during the splashland/pool season so I can review the fun to be had in there. Other then that, unless there is a sport event then I will go to another park. This one is great for family friendly or sport teams friendly. Lovely area, and a school surrounds its outskirts.

I rarely get out to this side of San Marcos but I wanted to check out this 'new' park. After…read morechatting with a local mom, I found out this isn't a 'new' park. It's a refurbished park...and it's lovely! There are two basketball courts, a large grassy area, one nice playground, and a separate area for swings. It's really a great layout. The only downside- there are no bathrooms here. Plan accordingly!

This review is specifically for the lego camp (ages 5-6) my son attended which was contracted in by…read morea company called 'play-well teknologies'. While my kiddo was happy with the camp and enjoyed it, I was not happy with the teachers. There were two 'teachers'- Nicholas and Craig. Both rarely greeting the parents at pick-up or drop-off and never greeted the kids either. Um, if I'm about to leave my kid with you for 3 hours, at least greet us! The Civic Center offers a ton of classes- kids, adults, enrichment, etc. I hope this particular class isn't representative of the quality of the classes there. All the direct employees I've interacted with from registering my child, questions about the camp, etc..all very pleasant and helpful.

South Lake is a little lake that is less known than Discovery Lake. Hidden in neighborhoods off…read moreTwin Oaks, it's truly a hidden gem. It's on the map but it's not busy or have many kids. This is due to it being primal still. There's no playground or bathroom. It's a parking lot, then you walk down on the dirt path to the lake, which is also a dirt path around the lake. There lake is bigger than Discovery and it's a good loop. There's no shade. And since it's a dirt path, it's harder for kids to bike or walking. You can access the lake by driving or by a trail that connects the lake with Discovery Lake. The elevation is flat, and good walking loop. You can rent out some space for picnics and parties but not sure if you want to as it's all dirt and there's really no tables or seating area. Solely for a nice peaceful walking path with you, a friend, a stroller or a dog.
