Official listing
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills up by late morning, especially on nice days when families and exercisers arrive en masse.
Plan to leave by 4pm
Gates close at 4:30pm and staff begin locking them at 4pm, so you risk being locked in.
Bring water and sunscreen
Most of the playground and common areas are in direct sun, though the lake loop has shaded eucalyptus trails.
Great for active kids
The playground and large lake loop offer multiple ways for children to run and play without concrete underfoot.
Restrooms are limited and distant
Only one bathroom building exists on the lakeside, and reviewers report it needs maintenance.
