Loren BAugust 18, 2015Bring yo kids! It's the best place to stretch legs and burn calories. During the school year the park is closed on Tuesdays during school hours. Put some cash In the donation slot near the gate.Upvote11Downvote
Kendra StormAugust 9, 2013Great playground with a variety of equipment for kids. There's a little snack bar, too. Keep an eye on your little ones because some parents haven't taught their kids manners. Pushy!Upvote5Downvote- Kimberly AllenSeptember 13, 2013Watch out for baseballs! Rent a boat and peddle around Lake El Estero.... Parking lot gets crowded as the youth center , and baseball field are near by. Restrooms and a snack shack!Upvote3Downvote
