Plenty of parking, huge park with several playgrounds for kids. It can be a little muddy after the rain. There's an outdoor theater near the gate, not sure if they use it for anything. Again, it's a really big park so very spacious for multiple birthday parties going on at the same time. The Men's restroom needs better maintenance and cleaning. The dog park is also nearby but we didn't go over there. Really appreciate those who kept the leash on the dog, especially next to the playground.

Finally was able to visit this park, and my toddlers loved it!! Lots of room to run, jump, and ride thier little carts with. Very beautiful views, and nature's all around. The park has mini trails, an amphitheater, a dog park towards the back, and a large playground. Unfortunately the swings where missing, but they did have baby swings available. Parking was good, there is a bathroom, and it's just a beautiful place over all. Will definitely go back again.

I love the location. It feels gar from city life but is city close. Good playgrounds. Ample fields for multiple groups to be using for several different sports, activities, etc. I always feel safe and my grandkids love our time spent at Harry Griffen Park.

I grew up practically my whole life at this park it is a great park for family picnics flying all our planes or just when you want to get away from the city even though it's around you it's a little place of Serenity and quietness it used to be a reservoir now it's underground but still a very nice place to just go for a walk. Also the bathrooms are typically normally clean and sanitary there's plenty of area and a kid friendly playground as well as picnic area birthday parties and running. Sincerely Daniel Neale

Today we took our 3 kiddos and my grandson here to play. There were several difference family gatherings at the park, such a nice sight to see. Our little ones (11, 04, 04, 02) had fun until a group of snotty nosed unsupervised (parents watch your kids) girls (jr high age) started to mock and bully all the little ones on the playground that dared to try to go down the slide. We decided to move on over to the nearby dog park where the animals running loose behaved more civilized than the kids on the playground.

I love the dog park here. It’s a little dusty, but if you come after it rains, the dust isn’t a problem. They have plenty of separate spaces for large and small dogs, as well as an extra for mixing I would assume. The people here are friendly and the areas are well taken care of, with plenty of balls and water dishes. I don’t know of a single dog who doesn’t enjoy their time here.

Beautiful and spacious, dog- friendly with a fenced yard for the doggies to play. Picnic areas could use more tables but if you bring your own tables and chairs your set. Downside is the rest rooms are pota potties.
