Really nice park, for a desert. Watch out for coyotes, especially with small dogs. Leave the homeless alone, theyll mostly ignore you. Fishing is ok, I dont trust the water, so catch and release for me. Plenty of sports facilities, but watch for the mole hills, gopher mounds, whatever they are, that are covering the entire grassy areas of the park. Holes and dirt mounds almost every step, makes walking your dog a bit more challenging.

This is probably the nicest park we have on the east side. Really nice area to walk around, there's volleyball and pickleball courts, areas for running and exercising and the lake. My only complaint would be that the restrooms could be cleaner but that's an issue for most parks.
