💡Pro Tips from Reviews

  • Confirm if you have access (resident/guest) to the adjacent private pool before visiting, as it's generally not open to the public.
  • Plan for no on-site restrooms; arrange for bathroom breaks before or after your visit.
  • Consider bringing your own portable seating if you anticipate needing more than limited options.
  • Exercise heightened vigilance and maintain active supervision of your children due to a reported incident of suspicious adult activity.
  • Be aware that the property may be private, despite its accessible appearance; verify public access if you are not a resident or guest.
  • If visiting during summer, the new tents provide good shade, making it a viable option even on hot days.

Things to Consider

  • The playground's private property status is not clearly labeled, causing confusion for visitors expecting a public park.
  • Lack of public restrooms on-site.
  • Limited seating options available for parents.
  • Directly adjacent to a private pool area with water attractions, which can lead to children asking to play where they are not welcome without invitation (unless you are a resident/guest).
  • One review reported a suspicious adult (tall, skinny white man in his 50s, gold Toyota Corolla) loitering without children, raising significant safety concerns.
  • One reviewer noted perceived water waste from running fountains while the adjacent pool was closed, particularly concerning in a water-stressed region like Texas.

Price & Value

Likely free to access the playground itself for residents/guests or those who perceive it as public property. No direct pricing mentioned for the playground or adjacent private pool (access for pool is by invitation only). Value is high if you are a resident/guest with pool access, lower for general public due to uncertainty and lack of amenities.

Accessibility & Special Needs

  • No specific accessibility features or accommodations mentioned in reviews.

🍎Food & Drink Policy

  • Not mentioned in any reviews. Assume standard playground rules apply (e.g., pack your own snacks, no glass).

🚗Parking Info

  • Located in/near a 'Lower Parking Lot' (part of the business name), implying parking is available, but no specific details on capacity or ease.

👥Crowd Levels

  • One review mentioned it was 'completely dead', suggesting it might not be consistently crowded.
  • No other reviews indicated specific crowd levels, implying it might be less busy than major public parks.

🛡️Safety Features

  • New shade tents offer protection from the sun.
  • Lack of explicit security or staff supervision mentioned; one review detailed a concerning lack of monitoring when a suspicious adult was present.
  • Parents are advised to 'be aware of your children' due to a reported incident of suspicious activity (man loitering without a child).

When to Avoid

  • If your children are easily tempted by off-limits pool areas they cannot access.
  • If you require on-site public restrooms or ample parent seating.
  • If you are unable to provide constant, direct supervision of your children, especially given reported safety concerns.
  • If you are seeking a clearly labeled, unequivocally public park experience.
  • If you are highly concerned about water conservation due to reported non-essential water usage.

Cute little playground with three climbing structures and decent shade. The ziplne is a highlight. (It is directly adjacent to a private pool area with water attractions, so beware in summer of kids asking to play where they aren't welcome except by invitation.) Not a ton of seating for parents, and no restroom, but a good option if it's close by.

Park Not labeled well enough that this is private property and not public park. Also they have the pool closed yet steady wasting water for no reason. Completely dead here and just fountains all over the pull running as this part of Texas runs out of water. How thoughtful!

Great park. Just be aware of your children. The other day I saw a man standing in the middle of the playground, I thought he was watching his kid and then after about 20 min he got in his car alone and drove away with no kid! Super creepy- didn’t get his license plates it was a gold Toyota Corolla. Tall skinny white man seemed to be in his 50s
