    I made the 2-hour drive to this place to support my hometown team's amateur basketball league competitions. Needless to say, the gym was much occupied by many people who were also there supporting their own hometown teams. What I was impressed most about was that it was around 105-110degF outside and they gym's indoor AC was able to handle that crowd. We were all pretty dang comfortable inside. There were also a couple of parties going on at the rec center just across the way. I saw that they were allowed to grill outside as an add on to the food. But they are strict about the given time slot. Basketball league reserved the gym from 8am-6pm. At 550pm, a staff member had issued a warning that we were to be out in 10 minutes. (No biggie. I understand we already took up their time on a Saturday and that they do have to go home, too...) Bathrooms were clean for a while until people started not caring and just couldn't be bothered to put their used paper towels in the trash can properly. Parking not an issue. I don't live anywhere around here, but should I hear of anyone needing a venue for such occasions, this place might just pop up in mind.

    This is a fabulous little park that I often see while I am out walking. It encompasses 8 acres and has a community center with an activity room and a gymnasium. Outside, there are a few picnic tables, each with their own charcoal grill. There are also three large covered areas, each with a number of long picnic tables and two charcoal grilling stations. The tables are kept very clean and the whole facility appears to be well maintained. There are two separate play areas with a flooring of soft bark, each meant for a different age group. The larger play structure is geared towards children ages 5-12, and there are swings in this area also. The smaller play structure is geared towards children ages 2-5. In this area there are swings with toddler seats and toys low to the ground with springs on the bottom. There is a single basketball (half) court and there are large open areas where kids of all ages can play. There are benches convenient for parents to sit and keep an eye on their children. There is even bike parking near the play structures for those families who wish to ride over, as well as more bike parking near the community center building. All in all, this is a very pleasant little 8 acre park in the Riverlakes Ranch community not too far from where I live.

    Great Community Center

    This is a great place for an event at a reasonable price. The area is clean, nice temperature control on the room, it has a great location and a friendly staff (other than one woman in the office). It's our group's new go to place for large events that we have a couple times a year. There's a full kitchen, rectangular and round tables and nice folding chairs. Everything is clean.

    Took picture at 730pm no flash. Park is very well lite

    i mean it's a place to stretch your legs but I wish the place was cleaner. All the trash cans were…read moreoverflowing and the bathrooms were rough.

    I'm here every week with my dogs. Great little fenced in spot with plenty of place for my energetic…read morehuskies to run. Water bowls, garbage cans, and benches dotted around the perimeter. Usually regulars will tie extra poop bags to the fence and bring bottles of water. Because this park is a sump, garbage can sometimes wind up at the bottom of the park, but it's maintained weekly and is usually pretty clean for a dog park. The one thing this place NEEDS desperately is more signage about the rules. Last Sunday, July 11, 2021 we arrived around 8am and found a group of about 20 boys and 4 coaches having football practice. Usually I wouldn't mind this type of thing and welcome the socialization for the dogs, but the kids were not properly talked to about respecting the dog park. One of the boys opened the fence gate and let both of my dogs out, who of course then bolted out into the busy street. I feel that this could have been avoided if there were proper signs about closing the fence and being mindful of the dogs. Especially because this dog park is just the small fenced in area of a larger park, I feel like they could play anywhere and dogs really just have this one spot.
