It was about 6 hours ago, and I've already talked about it with a friend. This is one of the nicer small parks I've seen anywhere. Anywhere anywhere. It's along the North Davis greenbelt right at the edge of Anderson and F. There's a pier over the Julie Partansky pond and there's a small pond in the middle of a nice grass area with an island in the middle. All sorts of birds frolicked merrily at this quiet park, the most interesting of the lot being a great white egret that I saw perched on the island in the middle of the small pond. There are benches around it and I stopped off to just look at everything. It's a really nice piece of nature tucked between streets where you wouldn't expect something so nice to be. I must have sat in the same spot for ten minutes just staring. Bike here alone and clear your mind from the weights on your shoulders. Take a date here for a walk or a picnic or something. At any rate, I'll be back, alone or not.

There's very easy walking access from the surrounding neighborhoods, and I saw a few people taking a stroll and some biking. There are two separate play areas, but they're not super far apart, which makes it easier to supervise the kids. One is more geared for older kids and one for toddlers, although my toddler loved both of them. There are two big kid swings and two little kid swings (again, separate areas). There are wood chips in the play area, no sand. We saw some gardeners doing landscaping as we were there; the park definitely felt like they kept it up well. As for eating, there are two picnic tables and a drinking fountain. There are NO bathrooms. While there were lots of trees, they were not necessarily covering the play structures, just the surrounding grass. I wouldn't come on a hot, sunny afternoon!

The courts are rather new so there are barely any cracks through them! For those that prefer to watch, there are bleachers that line the courts so you can hang out there! I saw tons of people bring their dogs with them so definitely bring your four legged friend with you to enjoy the park. There is a parking lot right by the courts that you can park at to walk around. It's also extremely close to Oakshade Town Center so you can go over there to grab a bite to eat. I haven't gone there when school is in session but on the off days, it is pretty empty and accessible :)

The name of this place says it all! This park is located in East Davis and is a great place for all…read moreages! This place has basketball courts, a playground, a huge field to play on, BBQ pits, and a pool area with a few water slides to play on. This review goes specifically to the huge concrete slide since that is what my friends and I came for originally when we decided to go here. Come with either a small cardboard or a huge long one so you can slide down the steep concrete slide. With the small cardboard you can slide down by yourself or if you come with the huge long one you can slide down 2 at a time. I have done both, but I would say that sliding down by yourself is safer...first hand experience. Wear comfortable shoes that you don't mind getting messed up in because you will use them to slow down your speed if you are too scared to go fast. Be prepared to get a few scratches and a few bruises on your butt. Other than that, this slide is very exhilarating and fun! A few tips: -Bring your own cardboard. There are a few there but you should probably bring your own just in case. -Wear comfortable shoes -You might want to wear long pants or a long sleeve if you don't want to get scratches or bruises. -Don't be scared, you only live once.

There is a farm-themed structure, an older area, and a newer area. Some of the playground equipment were things not usually seen or that I've never seen, such as a contraption to dig in the small sand area. I also noted that the newer area was built with inclusivity in mind. Some really nice aspects are that there's a large covered cemented area, some picnic tables & benches, and lots of grass. There's a neat manually-powered carousel with suspended animals to ride on that was operating for a fundraiser. There are also musical activities. We were able to spend a lot of time here enjoying being outdoors while little one played on everything.
