I feel like I would rate this park higher if I had a big dog, because the large dog area looks very…read morenice, almost like a walking path and it seems a lot of people use the large dog area. Unfortunately I have a smaller dog and the small dog area is quite small. Not many people seem to come to the small dog area and I don't blame them. Although there is some seating and some shade, there is no grass and not a lot of room to run. Parking is convenient as the park is on a corner so street parking was available when we arrived. This park was ok, but I probably won't come back; the beach is just too close to use this park again.

For a county park this is a good, single section, "all dog" park. It has a good double gate, water, bags for dog cleanup, and a trash can. Parking is good, and the location is away from the main roads which is always a plus. It has one big tree for shade, and a child's playground nearby. The tractor gate (single gate that is extra wide for tractors) is locked (as it should be). Bathrooms are nearby, and scenery is fantastic. The local Spreckles Boy Scouts did a great job! We visited on 3 April 2024, a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Others were here before we popped in. Will come here again.

Everyone that we met there was very friendly and there are some playground equipment and tennis courts nearby. Very positive experience overall.

I love that they have so much nature areas that the kids can run and climb on besides the playground. They also have a basketball court, tennis court and basebAll! Downside: bathroom is not clean but I know I shouldn't expect much from a park. Best part: little library right next to the tennis court. It also has a lot of trails! We saw 2 deers too!!!

There is a playground for 2-5 year olds right next to a playground for 5-12 year olds. Across the grass from the playgrounds, there is a baseball field, with a basketball court next to it. On the other side from the playground are some very quiet tennis courts. Plus there are bathrooms, benches, and a fairly large picnic area up above. Also, there's walking paths around it and a canyon behind it. We took my dog today and did not see any No Dog signs, except understandably, on the baseball field and in the tennis courts. You should definitely keep them on a leash though because there are squirrels and other wildlife (deer, birds) in the park. Plus the park is surrounded by streets.
