Overall not the worst park, but still needs some maintenance after the flood. 3 separate parking lots (one by the school, one in the middle by basket ball courts, and another in the back by dog park/soccer field)
2 playgrounds, basket ball hoops, soccer fields (not sure how open they are to the public though) and a dog park with separate sides for big and small dogs.

DOG PARK:
Finally open after the flood! The dog parks are big, but not maintained (even before the flood) big dog side is basically all dirt, and there's ALWAYS a mud puddle close by to the water (which means yes, your dog dog IS going to get dirty, whether they actually play in the puddle or not), Never any poop bags. But, there are 2 tables and benches in the front and back of the park (front has a little shade) and even more benches along the side, as well as a water fountain that you have to keep pushing every time your dog wants water, as well as a faucet on the far side. Someone has left a metal bowl at each fountain as of 8/11/17. Other people are usually pretty good about watching their dogs (there's a always someone that doesn't  though :/ ) but won't ask before bringing small dogs to the big side or vice versa. Hope your dog isn't aggressive depending on size. so overall as long as you bring your own poop bags and dont mind your dog getting dirty, it's a great spacious park for you and your dog.

MAIN PARK:
Also not maintained after the flood, the grass is terrible to walk in, but everything else is still good. Trash cans along the perimeter of the park and by the playground and basket ball courts. Fairly clean bathrooms for a public park, and working water fountains. Usually see some shady people in the middle parking lot that will just hang out there for hours, if you're going alone just be aware of your surroundings. Basketball courts and playground usually packed by about 7pm everyday. Walkers around the big circle pavement and joggers in the small circle pavement (no rule saying you have to do this, people just do).

Plenty of open space along with a couple of soccer fields, basketball courts, and a dog park. Expect to be minimal shade, and due to the recent flooding, there's not much grass on the open fields.

Big open space nestled near residential homes and freeway. Freeway noise can be loud. 

Dog park is spacious but needs ground cover  maintenance. There has been an on-and-off construction plan to revamp the park area. Park gets muddy when wet. Needs more attention. 

Soccer fields are nice, artificial turf. Clean.

Back when the park was first renewed and open it used to be nicely taken care of I went this past weekend it looks like they completely forgot about keeping up with the park it's a mess

Very clean, i love that they have 2 separate gated areas for small and large dogs. People  here are very friendly. This place is perfect for the whole family not just your pet :)
