Check cleanliness before arriving
Maintenance is inconsistent; some visits find it very clean while others report significant trash despite available bins.
Bring a bathroom plan
The park has no restrooms, so plan a bathroom stop at nearby McDonald's on Guadalupe and Kyrene before arriving.
Watch for unleashed dogs
Despite leash laws, some dogs run loose and may startle children, so stay alert during busy times.
