    The swing set below one of the large trees
    Marcus L.

    I'm always on the look out for shaded playgrounds and this little neighborhood park definitely makes my list. The main attraction for me are the large trees that provide a great amount of shade over the swing set and both large sand play areas! A lot of people bring their own sand toys and shovels and caregivers can be seen sitting along the edge. I sometimes see a variety of kids wanting to share toys so make sure to label yours or it'll be tough to find them later. There's a play structure recommended for 2-5 year olds and a separate one for 5-12 year olds but my toddler likes to hang out on both but gets bored with them quickly. There's also a see saw and one of those rides that looks like a spinning bowl. Why are those things always the temperature of the sun!? I've been here on weekdays when it's pretty empty and others when it's extremely busy. Everyone seems very friendly, though!

    This place is our second home. Ample shade. Clean bathrooms. Huge lawn for dogs and sports. My daughter loves the sandbox and chasing other children around on the rubber tar ground. It's very safe - gated and has a very aesthetically pleasing jungle gym. Cute track for those who love exercise. Highly recommend!

    Busy but fun with nice tree house themed equipment. Big sand pit and clean bathrooms. In a neighborhood with street parking.

    Nice place to let the kids craze. Big playground, outdoor mini gym, grassy fields, swings, tennis courts. Bathrooms leave a lot to be desired...better pee at home.

    I love this park! It's a great place for running or pick up sports. The lights stay on until 10 p.m., and there are generally a number of families at the park and couples walking their dogs. This park has playground equipment for the kids, two basketball courts, four tennis courts, a baseball diamond, a dirt track, and newly installed plastic weight-lifting machines....that actually work! Their aren't a TON of varieties of these machines, but the few there are really do work (somehow using your body weight to lift, I think). There is also a kick back wall on the perimeter of one of the basketball courts. The park's not that big, but it's a good location with super easy parking, and somehow it manages to cram a bunch of things into one well-lit area. Anyways, there is a group that gathers on Monday nights for pickup soccer - last week there were about 30 people playing and the organizers just ask that you bring $5 a month to contribute to the cost of the nets.

    3 times around is roughly a mile.

    Can we practice with our baseball team at this park? Is there a certain protocol that we need to follow?

    Our little friend Toby C. turned four a couple weeks ago, and he had his birthday party at Valley…read moreVillage Park. We went with our two boys, and everyone had a grand superhero-themed time. We got easy parking right in front of the playground on a Sunday at noon. The park was large and the playground was nice, tons of space for kids to run around, and structures to climb when the mood struck. Toby's parents took over a sizable area with picnic tables, where they set up a buffet lunch and, later, cake. My three-year-old will remember this party for the orange soda ("Why are you letting me drink this?"), but I appreciated the ample, well maintained neighborhood park. I'd recommend Valley Village Park for your recreational needs in this part of town.

    Updating my review as I did come back to this park with my dog to attend the Larpbo pack walk this…read moreevening. The park is very beautiful with soft grass that seems well maintained and cut and there are zero foxtails which is a big plus. I can tell everyone respects the park as there's zero trash on the ground and everyone is picking up after their dogs. We did some excersizes with our dogs in the park and then we walked around the neighborhood and then back through the park along the nice dirt trail to end. Similarly to last time, again I noted ALLOT of off leash dogs. They seem well behaved but one did decide to run away from its owner and did a full circle around our pack and the owner was chasing it. This caused several dogs to react and get riled up and it really could have been an issue if that off leash dog had decided to run at any of us, thankfully it didn't, it was just happy to run in circles until its owner caught it. Overall despite this, these distractions were actually really helpful for practicing training with my dog, and she did amazingly. There were so many other distractions too such as loud cars or motorcycles and kids and people running or biking. I guess maybe my dog leveled up because it was a very successful walk! I was very happy today with the experience. All the people who live in the neighborhood next to this park are so lucky to be so close to such a beautiful and well maintained space.

The views are amazing and it's great to be surrended by nature, so many trees and birds (I have seen many blue birds around).

We visited today and were lucky enough to catch a performance by the Taiko Project. Their performance honestly gave me chills! Love that they also talked about the history of taiko in Japan and US and they even had volunteers at the end of the show to try taiko drumming! There was also Kamishibai storytelling in the tea garden, which the kids really enjoyed. They also have Japanese Garden "I Spy" sheet for the kids to do and Clean Water Patrol activity book. This is def one of those low stress, high vibe activities that I highly recommend. Just a heads-up though, outside food and drinks aren't allowed inside, but water is ok. There are restrooms near the entrance as well as behind the tea garden. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for kids. We had such a relaxing afternoon and are already looking forward to coming back for more events at this little oasis.

There was also a ton of shade, which was great for us, and plenty of walkways for rollerblading or going for a stroll. They also have a large playground for kids, bathrooms, and courts for tennis as well. The park is very clean, and everyone I encountered was polite and friendly.

    I came here for the Memorial Day ceremony. I had never been to this park before and didn't know it…read morehad memorial plaques for people in our city who died in various wars. The ceremony included reading each of their names out loud and placing a rose on the plaque that matched the war they died in. WWII had the most roses and deaths. They had one of the fire trucks lift up a huge American flag next to the regular sized flags of the branches of our military which surround a pilar with a live flame. There was also a live band, singers, and flybys by planes in formation. It was a very solemn and respectful ceremony to honor those who died on duty. After the ceremony, I stayed at the park for a bit longer laying a towel on the grass under a tree. I don't know if it was just the spot I picked, but even though it was really grassy, underneath it was really muddy, like when I finally got up my towel was soaked through and so was my back. Then I got lost trying to find where I parked because the park is bigger than it looks and has 3 parking lots. I thought there was only 1, so I didn't pay that much attention when I walked towards the ceremony. When I tried getting back to my car I honestly thought it might have been towed. Now I know there's a parking lot by the building that leads to the swimming pool, another next to the swimming pool itself so you can actually see the water, and the last one is next to the tennis courts and baseball field. This doesn't include the parking spots all around the perimeter of the park. The park is clean, has plenty of playgrounds for children, tables and benches to eat at, and a public restroom. It's not the quietest of parks, though, since there are so many children and it's next to a busy intersection, like during the ceremony a trash truck and a random car honked their horns in support of the ceremony. Otherwise, it really is a nice park with plenty of amenities.
