    This park has such potential but unfortunately many patrons abuse it's beautiful facilities. We came here a Saturday and it was very busy, logically as it was a hot summer afternoon. It's hard not to people watch and think about how pretty this park would be if people actually cared. So sad that disrespectful adults make disrespectful children, I observed children sitting on top the limited working sprinklers without letting others have a turn. Kids unsupervised running amuck. I would be wary of I had toddlers as many children here behaved in ways that made me cringe. Sadly, the thing that is hard to miss is the amount of litter. The bathrooms are disgusting and the trail is used a a dumping ground. Patrons picnic here and there are BBQ areas, we saw two birthdays today and half a dozen pizza boxes and other large garbage that should have been disposed of properly. It's incredibly frustrating to see such a beautiful park turn into this. I wish people took pride in their parks, and not use them as a dumping ground and most importantly teach their children to love and respect nature.

    My review is based on visiting on a Tuesday afternoon in July for Ponderosa Spray Ground use. I want to love this place but I felt it was overrun by people looking for a free time. From afar the landscaped grounds are beautiful and the park itself seemed perfect. There are a lot of beautiful grassy areas with and without shade that can be used for a picnic area. Packing a cooler is a great idea as there is only an ice cream truck available. I also noticed park grills and a picnic area similar to those on other parks grounds. You should also consider packing sunblock, a picnic blanket, chairs, towels, sidewalk chalk, bubbles, buckets/pails your child can fill with water and water fun spray/blasters/shooters/water guns. Water shoes are a Must! The area is covered in a durable rubber and burns if you don't have shoes on. I did see barefoot kids here and all I thought of was coxsackievirus. The major problem that we had with this place was disrespectful unsupervised kids that acted like wild animals that were seldomly released into the public that caused so many issues on the spray ground and playgrounds. Such as sitting on top of the only sprinkler available. It seemed there were possibly 6 small sprinklers and they were set on a 15-45 second delay alternating between them. Only 1 sprinkler jet was on at a time and every kid would fight over it, sit on top of it or roll across it. Rude little kids would trample your kid if you weren't watching. The playground area was nice. They did have newer unique equipment. If your child is wet from the sprayground beware they come shooting out of the slides like flying bullets and actually can get hurt. We did not use the restrooms so I cannot comment on that. If I were to return I would definitely go either first thing in the morning and hope it's empty or not go at all. My kids did love their time here and had no complaints at all. My rating for Sprayground is 2 stars. My rating for the Park is 3 stars.

    Splash pad and playground is a great, free activity for kids under 5 to do for a couple of hours on a hot day.
