  3.5/5 Not perfect-but still a whole vibe. Some parks charge you to play-like Balboa Park. Others feel like they’re always under repair-like El Toyon Park. This one? Somewhere in the middle. Came through around 8 PM while waiting on a friend at Paradise Valley Hospital. Just needed a quick walk. There’s fencing, signs of construction, and honestly… families still using the playground anyway. That tells you everything. If people are working around closures, access isn’t being handled right. But here’s what matters: People are actually using the park. ✅Families on the playground (fence or not). ✅Couples walking hand in hand. ✅People eating dinner solo, just enjoying the night. ✅Friends posted up talking. ✅Dog walkers getting their steps in. 🏐And a full volleyball game going-with a group that brought their own net and made it happen. That’s when it clicked-this park works because the community makes it work. And there’s a lot to work with: *Big, open space (perfect for events, parties, just spreading out) *Clean, paved walking paths that feel good even at night *Updated courts (just bring your own net for now) *Bright playground with slides and wood chips for safety *Plenty of picnic benches (not much shade, but still usable) *Bike racks and scattered seating throughout It’s not polished-but it’s alive. Spring nights, fresh air, people outside connecting-that’s what a park is supposed to be. And even with the construction and limitations, this place is still delivering that. Bottom line: Construction is to be completed by May 2026 "Parks are where people build memories." Don't delay the re-grand opening

  A lot of people attend and participate in rec activities, very nice atmosphere. Tennis and basketball courts are available, they also have restrooms and a playground. And group activities are usually available throughout the week.

  Good idea to have this place renovated. Areas like tennis/basketball courts are cracked. It's a good thing the city cares. Hopefully, restrooms will be remodeled, and open longer hours for public usage so they don't have to relieve themselves behind the trees.

  This park could be a 5 if it wasn't for a sad playground and nasty restrooms. The playground equipment is simple and unimaginative. The wood chips and sand are so hard they might as well be dirt. Otherwise there are basketball & tennis courts, horseshoe pits, plenty of picnic tables, and lots of grass with a perimeter walking path. Plenty of free parking and located away from any busy roads.

Now, it in renovation adding 3 Pickleball court, relocating 2 Basketball courts, resurfacing Tennis court and a playground upgrade. Hope they can finish all these so soon.
