Popularity 3 out of 5

No one was at the park, but it could be a nice place for a small picnic. Also the benches under the mesquite trees would be nice to read on.

Cleanliness 3 out of 5

No trash but there were a few items in need of repair. As well as the weeds in the play area.

What makes it good?

The large amount of space and nice mesquite trees.

What makes it bad?

No shade near the playground. The weeds in the play area would not welcome small children.

Overall 3 out of 5

There was a lot of space. The trees being bunched together with benches makes it nice for a relaxing day and great for adults and older children. But the lack of shade and weeds in the play area would make it difficult for families with small children. The dry grass is a issue through out the city but it does make ground picnics uncomfortable.
