The "beach" is made up of large white limestone rocks which can make it tricky to set up for the day, but this is what keeps most other people out. :) Bring your own shade as there are NO large trees or shaded picnic areas. A beach umbrella can be set up near the water and a pop-up shade tent can be set up-at a level picnic table. There is a small, brick-sided restroom house on the premises. The best part about this park? IT'S FREE! There is no fee for using the lake area or the boat ramp. But, shhhhh! Don't tell everyone. :)

There are pavilions available and plenty of areas to sit down. The parking are was really good. There are several jungle gyms for the kiddos. The walking trail is well kept and free or holes or anything that will cause you to fall. I saw wildlife along the way. People were fishing, eating, walking, playing games, and just enjoying life. I loved my visit here.

I asked my oldest one what did he like the most about this park and he said there were lots of people and size, it was a big one. I noticed it was pretty well maintained and neat.

The only thing, what made us driving around is gps, when I picked Whistle playground it took me to the wrong destination, on another side of street, when I changed it to whistle park, it brought me to the correct location.

The homeless living in and around the park restrooms and partaking in drug use in and around the park makes this an unsafe area for kids. I'd recommend keeping an extra close eye on your children, your surroundings, belongings, and also check the bathrooms before you allow kids in them. The park is amazing and it's evident that it's a true labor of love to have built it and maintain it. I do hope this issue is addressed as several men came out of the bathrooms with sheets and backpacks and the aroma of marijuana all through the park was overwhelming.

Yes I expected more based on previous pics and reviews. In a way expected little BUT it was sad :/ this place is neglected and there were like many missing structures so either they were taken away or stolen. The few that's here is pretty run down besides the ones in my pics. Glad we got here still light out because this whole area looks dead and creepy. No one around either. Only thing that was kinda worth it was this gray cat that was kinda cute who followed us around wanting to play and be scratched until he decided to not play anymore and bit my daughters hand lol Anyways these are 3 of the nicer sculptures. Others are pretty sad. And the place has trash all over the trail too and questionable items on the floors too. It would be so cool if they revamped it!

It is also dog friendly. Pretty much dirt trails, so after rains, it can get muddy, but we are in Texas, so that only happens occasionally. You can get several miles in on the various trails.

You never know when you might come across a snake, so be safe!

The outdoor space consists of a baseball field, plenty of parking spots, activities for the chilens to play, grass, and trees. Nothing more, nothing less. I had to create my own path of a trail by scaling up and down the parking lot. Park maintenance does a good job of keeping the place clean. They are out every morning picking up trash and debris. The park is sandwiched between a house on the right and mobile homes on the left. Don't expect too much from this park. Very basic and minimalist if that's your thing. If you are looking for more, Killeen or Georgetown has parks with walking trails.
