Ed Austin Regional Park

It has a fantastic walking/running/biking trail. 1.75miles. It goes around the whole park. Very clean. The dog park is cute and completely gated for small and large dogs. There are lots of seating areas throughout and shade. The new playground is perfect for young children. It is also completely gated. Lots to do. Come check it out.

This is a huge park with lots to do! There are walking trails and a nice skate park, but we love the basketball courts. We recently celebrated our basketball team with a picnic in the park, but unfortunately one of the hoops on one of the four courts was broken. It was a holiday so the bathroom facilities were locked, so my only criticism would be that they need some facilities for those days when staff isn't there. Generally it is a busy place with the baseball fields but there is plenty of space and parking to have a get together and enjoy the outdoors!

Way too many off leash dogs running around when there is literally a dog park here. It is unsafe. The park itself is great with a lot of shade and room to roam, but laws and park rules aren’t enforced.

Fun afternoon staying active! Well kept and large family park. We practiced our Frisbee Golf game, one-handed, while staying hydrated. Meanwhile, the rest of our family was at the playground. I played the outdoor xylophone, and my neice named that tune... 🎵👈😎
