Good for toddlers and mixed ages
The playground has separate equipment for different ages, parent-child swings, and wood chips instead of sand, plus open.
Go early on hot days
The playground equipment is mostly shaded, but courts and fields have little shade and can be extremely hot in mid-summer.
Bring water and snacks
Limited water fountains are available away from the dugouts and tennis courts, and the snack bar is not always open.
Expect frequent airplane flyovers
The park sits directly in the flight path for Falcon Field, creating noise and low-flying planes overhead throughout the day.
Plan around sports events
Parking and seating can get crowded during baseball games and evening sports league matches on the opposite side.
