Official listing
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up quickly on Saturdays, especially near the trailhead and during organized sports events.
Ideal for active older kids
Extensive trails, sports fields, and recreation center activities suit school-age children more than toddlers.
Check restroom availability first
Bathrooms may be closed on Sundays, and those at the west end of fields involve a long walk.
Bring shade and water
The park has limited natural shade, and open field areas offer little protection from sun.
Watch for wildlife
Deer, bobcats, and rattlesnakes have been spotted, particularly in canyon and trail areas.
