Insider tips

Bring portable shade structures or umbrellas, as the open field areas have limited natural canopy cover.

Check the city’s official park status page before arrival, as sports field irrigation can occasionally restrict access to certain grass areas.

Utilize the designated paved perimeter loops if you prefer flat, consistent terrain for running or strollers.

What to avoid

Avoid visiting immediately after heavy rain, as the low-lying field sections can become saturated and muddy.

Etiquette

Leash laws are strictly enforced for all pets; carry-in/carry-out trash policy applies.
