Between San Jacinto and Hemet there are not many family oriented parks to either take your kids or…read moreto walk your dogs at. When we came here I had to pee really bad (sorry for TMI). The bathrooms were surprisingly really clean. That made me really happy, although, clearly someone was just toking in there. I would rather that than finding other things. We started our walk and discovered a small little area where there is a miniature rose garden. They are a bit overgrown but lovely nonetheless. There is a playground that is very well kept right by the bathrooms along with family style tables and grills. A small baseball diamond which I can't wait to use this spring. They also have a tennis court and a basketball court! This place is pretty great. Now some of the downfalls. There is a long pathway that is for walking but looks like it would be fun to skateboard (if it's allowed). There are squirrels running around down there. There are many light posts around but many of them need to be replaced. I am pretty sure the homeless knocked them down for night sleeping. There is evidence of homeless people but not too bad. I also noticed a swastika etched in the sidewalk, not sure how long that has been there but it looks like forever ago. I found it hilarious that not only was someone lighting illegal fireworks but they left the gloves they used. At least they were trying to be safe ... but didn't they know about OJ? Never leave the gloves behind at the scene of a crime. All in all, I will be claiming this as my favorite park here until I find a new one.

Mary Henley also has a playground, lunch canopies, and a cooling station with water activities for visitors. I visited tonight for a Movie Under the Stars event hosted by the City of Hemet and it was amazing! My family and I enjoyed Moana 2 as we relaxed in the cool air and freshly trimmed grass. Mary Henley has a nice view of the San Jacinto mountains and has plenty of shade. I love the trees surrounding the park! My only complaint would be the nasty bathrooms. There's a button for flushing but it didn't work! Also, bring bug spray, there's quite a few June bugs flying around!

Also there are 8 lights along the west side walkway. Only 3 of them work with the one with the video camera has been out since Aug. 2024. I've informed park maintenance more than a few times and they know what I have to say lately when I approach them during my noontime walks.

Parking is fine here during the week not sure how it is on the weekend on game days. I know there were some complaints on the cleanness of the restrooms but every time I have used them they were clean.

This review is based on the condition of the soccer field and adjacent restrooms only. I can't…read morecomment on the condition of the softball and other fields. The location is easy to find and there's plenty of parking. Granted parking can be a little tricky. There are only so many spots in the actual parking lots. And if you have games being played on all fields, all day, parking can be tight. However, there's a big dirt lot in between both parking lots that you can park on. Just look for the driveway cutout to enter. The fields: Natural grass which is always a nice treat. However, these fields aren't in the best condition. There were a lot of holes, slopes and rough spots. My son's home field is natural grass too, but these fields were in pretty bad shape. The bathrooms: In between the soccer fields are two unisex bathrooms. Neither of which have lights. So if you're playing a late game, bring a headlamp or flashlight. And the lock to the one on the right stuck. It took me about two minutes (and that's a long two minutes when you're freaking out because you're locked in a public bathroom. I thought "I'm either going to have to call my husband to break the door down to get me out or call 911." Thankfully I managed to "escape" but avoided that bathroom for the rest of the day. I got lucky once but wasn't sure my luck would hold out.

You will drive down a paved road and the rest will be a pebble, dirt road! Man, does my car need a car wash after today! I made a right at W Contour Rd. At this parking lot, they have 1 restroom in a building and a picnic table. I had to use the restroom as I was drinking Starbucks on the way over!! The restroom was clean with paper!!! I continued driving on the "auto tour" and I followed the signs. I saw a beautiful lake with no water. (I thought this was a beautiful view). I kept driving until I saw Pond 1 and I parked in the huge gray pebbled parking lot. I walked along the upper path between both ponds on both sides of me. I took many pictures & videos. I walked until I saw Marsh U and that is where I saw a skunk !!! I have never encountered one during the day. The skunk saw me and ran in the other direction. I wish I brought bug repellent. I was covered in bugs I knew something bit me on my arm. The place felt very eerie walking through there with no one around. I suppose the best times to visit are spring & winter! Enjoy my photos :)

Keep in mind this isn't a well groomed and cliche/touristy picnic spot for you city slickers. I love how they have kept the area natural but still accessible. Wednesdays and Saturdays are closed to the general public for the waterfowl/duck hunters. This area is run and managed by the California Fish and Wildlife.

Sure, the area is not the greatest, and the locals are definitely... interesting, but once you get past all that, this dog park is kind of a hidden gem. The park itself is huge. Bigger than most dog parks I've seen, which is impressive. My only gripe? No trash cans outside the park. Super inconvenient for people like me who prefer to keep their dogs outside the fenced area. That said, my pups had the time of their lives frolicking in the grassy areas, which are surprisingly nice and well-kept. Everyone there seemed to mind their own business, which, let's be real, is a blessing. If your dog needs to burn off energy and you're in the Hemet area, this park is as good as it gets. Just keep your wits about you, and you're golden. Five stars for the park; minus 2 stars for the surrounding vibes!
