it’s a pretty chill place, I like the park. the bathrooms need work for sure but almost every public bathroom ain’t the best. I like the basketball court even though I loose. but hey it’s definitely a place to chill

Went here on 6/26/22.
Chose to make the extra 20mi each way off the 5 for a fun road trip break for my young kids. The reviews seemed great and who doesn’t love a splash pad. We arrived at 11, when the water should have been on, and left at 12. We saw a local and they said the water never turns on and there was no way to do it yourself. It was a nice playground though in our opinion not worth the 40 minutes there and back for the bathroom and a swing. Better to bring a soccer ball to kick around at the rest stops along the 5 like we usually do, or stop at Pyramid Lake for a swim.
