They had a nice set up with boat loads of hand sanitizer and they clocked the time fair and square so everyone had a chance to visit. All the animals were nice and clean.

Was turned away and walked back to the car. Sitting in the car I looked up their website and good thing they posted own policies. Maybe the staff should read it together. Don't blame this on your help, it's poor leadership. If you don't know what you are doing, how are they supposed to know?

Clean cement sidewalk to enjoy high desert views of the Mojave River and Desert from sunrise to Sunset. This South Mojave River bed is easy access from behind 24 Hour Fitness. I don't have a measured walk, but there are benches along the way to rest if needed. It's a wonderful way to walk run hike bike skate and feel safe. It seems to be kept clean, so let's keep it that way. Enjoy our desert.

It is nice and smooth so even my son with his small bike with training wheels was able to make it. It can get dusty of course, but after a light rain it is perfect. It is a straight line and you will see other people walking. A lot of people from Jess Ranch come here so they are older. Don't go too far if you don't want to walk all the way back. There are no cars allowed so you wont have to worry about your kids getting hit if they get ahead of you. Of course people use the riverbed for off-road use and who wouldn't. My kids love riding their quads out here because we live close to the riverbed. I always see people with their jeeps and side by sides. There are a lot of trails leading from the houses to the riverbed so you can tell who comes out here a lot. we have never been messed with by the police but we always have helmets and are a block from our house. It is a do at your own risk kind of thing.

However, you can still enjoy a moderate hike with family and less able folks. There really is no specific route when approaching this gem. Pick a direction and go for it, it's natures jungle gym. For the lighter hike you will want to park at the base near the BMX track. To the right of the water tower there is a beaten trail which is, if you choose, the hardest part of the hike. After you peak you have the option of adventuring through large boulders with small caverns or sticking off to the left for a more flat surface. I started my 3 little boys on this hike a couple years ago when they were 3 and 4. So that should give you an idea of the capability. Additionally, this is where I take my adult friends to put their money where their mouth is and push their limits. Great place! BBQ pits and small playground here too.

The park has bathroom facilities, BBQ areas, pavilions with picnic tables and an awesome playground. There's also a community pool facility that I heard hasn't been open in a few summers. You can tell the city maintains the park really well. I didn't see any trash around and the playground looks safe for kids. The local folks who were at the park with their kids were friendly and welcoming. 4 stars instead of five because I googled the park when looking for a location to have the family picnic and saw it had been in the news recently for an incident involving violence. There was one homeless couple lying on a blanket in the grass but they weren't bothering anyone. I'd come back, for sure.

They have a huge grassy field that is often used for football games as well as soccer and baseball practices. It's also a great place for a picnic either on the grass or at one of the many picnic tables. They have a playground for the children that has a large play area and a small one for the smaller tykes. There's a basketball court that is almost always in use. They also have a sandy volleyball area. I love watching the kid's basketball pick up games or families play volleyball while I'm walking my dog or taking my grandson to the park to play. It's a great way for the kids to meet new friends in their age range as well because there are usually kids of all ages at the park. They have bathrooms on site which are always open and kept pretty clean which is a definite plus. On sunny days you will find one or two ice cream trucks in the parking lot eager to sell you all sorts of sugary treats for your little ones. This park is a great place to hang out with the family, walk your dog, exercise or just people watch while enjoying time outdoors.
