I felt the "grass" and it was painful to the touch. Like a bunch of needles stabbing me. This is disappointing that the mostly dead grass is also razor sharp. Wish the city (or whoever is responsible) would be able to at least make the grass safe for dogs to walk on or children. If a child falls, their hands will be stabbed. Come on, Bakersfield!

They are probably not both needed every day, but they are important to accommodate special occasions and events sponsored by NOR recreation & parks which administers and maintains this park. I was here one evening last summer with friends to hear a local band play. We all brought lawn chairs and blankets and had a lovely evening listening to music and people watching. Both parking lots were pretty full that evening. On an average afternoon like today, there were families with young children enjoying the large playground equipment structures, teenagers walking their dogs, a couple of young men playing one on one basketball on the courts, and several men setting up for some unknown sport which involved the placement of many red flags on the large field just South of the picnic area. I enjoyed my picnic under the shade structure which held a large number of picnic tables with conveniently located barbecue grills. It can be reserved for a fee by contacted NOR directly qt 392-2010. The picnic shelter has a capacity of 80 people and can be reserved for a fee of $15 per hour with a 3 hour minimum reservation. You will also need to fill out an application which can be downloaded here http://norfun.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/FR-100-Use-of-Facility-Online-Packet.pdf There are several other individual picnic tables scattered about in the grassy area with a grill next to each one. The park sprawls across 21.3 acres. There are two very large grassy areas, one to the North and one to the South of the playground equipment. There are clean public restrooms, all of which are individual rooms that can be locked from the inside and were well stocked with toilet paper. I didn't give it five stars because the grass is not as lush, green, and well watered as most of the other parks in Bakersfield.

My friend, Joan, likes to bring her dogs here to play and get exercise, but I'd never joined her so I was missing out on all the other opportunities there are here for good clean outdoor fun in the sun. There's quite a bit of equipment for children of all ages to clamber about and plenty of bark below to help soften a fall. There are public restrooms, though I did notice that there were also port-a-potties out front - not sure what was up with that. There is a large covered area with long picnic tables and adjacent barbecue grills perfect for large groups to picnic. You can reserve this picnic shelter, which has a capacity of 80 people, for your own group by contacting the NOR Parks & Recreation District at 392-2010 and filling out an application which can be downloaded here http://norfun.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/FR-100-Use-of-Facility-Online-Packet.pdf If you're into outdoorsy sports, there are four lighted sofball diamonds complete with bleachers. There is also a full sized tennis court, a full sized basketball court, and two basketball half courts. There were people practicing or playing on two of the baseball diamonds and on the tennis courts and random people picnicking with families the day of our visit. There is plenty of grass for kids or dogs to play on (please clean up after both groups) and picnic tables scattered randomly about the park. I think I may join my friend and her dogs for their next outing here.

For the most part, the park is kept clean but it makes me sad to see garbage accumulate where the animals swim.
