Dalton Park

Good park my kids love coming here they give out free lunch and snacks and the park is pretty clean its a good place for party’s and hanging out with family

Great park for gathering family and friends for a bbq. The park bbq’s are alot bigger than most parks. It never gets real crowded. It doea get some people but never packed. The water park during the summer is a great place for the little ones to play in with benches next to it so you can watch your kid play and sit and relax.

This park is Awesome in the summer because the have the little water park for little ones. I feel like it’s for ages 6 and under. It was annoying to see bigger kids in there. Splashing everywhere and almost running over the little ones!
Overall park is clean. It’s not in a great area but it’s nice and expected for the area!

THIS PLACE HAS GONE DOWNHILL since I was little, there’s just drug deals going on and older guys playing basketball aggressively right next to where the little children are supposed to play. And now they’ve taken the legendary castles that I used to climb in down, and now they’ve made it into some kind of water sprinkler play park. Just not the same anymore :(but I guess during the day on a hot day it would be fun.

No wood chips! All rubber mat for the playground area. Bucket seats swings for the little ones. Open gym area for the fitness bug. Baseball field. A couple of gazebo for picnics. Plenty of trash cans. Clean and fully functional restrooms with soap.

Great quiet, little park. Went late afternoon on a summer weekday. It wasn’t crowded. There were open tables and shady spots to pick from when we arrived. My kid had so much fun getting wet in the splash pad and drying off in the playground. I liked that there is a fence that separates the playground from the exercise equipment, as my kiddo kept asking if he could play with it.
A bonus is that after a nice day at the park, you can swing by The Donut Man! Mmm… donuts!

My 8 year old loves it here! Never too crowded when we go. Great way to spend their summer days!

I’ve been to this park since I was little and it looks way better than it used to be when I was a kid. This park has always had plenty of benches, a sizable playground and jungle gym, swings, a baseball field and two basketball courts. You can either park on Barranca, Armstead or the small parking lot. The new attractions include the splash pad and a outdoor gym.
The basketball courts are nice and are lighted very well. Because of this, it tends to get busy during the night. The outdoor gym is nice, but is not shaded, so it tends to get a bit hot during the summer. The splash pad is good for kids on a hot day instead of playing on the hot swings and jungle gym. Another good feature here is the plethora of picnic tables with BBQ grills.
A couple of gripes about this park. The parking lot tends to get overcrowded, especially during the night when a lot of people play basketball. The restrooms could be a bit cleaner, but you shouldn’t expect a spotless restroom at the park. Another thing I would like them to add is more water fountains around the park. Other than that, this is a solid park to chill, take your kids and play some basketball.

I really like the splash pad at this park. The play area is nice but I don’t particularly like the ‘rubber’ floor they have. It feels like a grill when you step in there! I don’t know what the benefits are vs. wood chips (this is probably to prevent debris at the splash pad). The outdoor gym seems nice but is not shaded, similarly the basketball court seems nice for an evening (at sunset or early morning).
Great thing I found out today is that they have a free snack program for kids M-​F 3pm to 4pm. Bathrooms are close by and plenty of parking at the parking lot or street.

Great place to play some afternoon basketball with some super cool people. It’s well kept by the people who play there. Rarely ever any drama. Come out and play one day and you’ll be back again

SPLASH PAD REVIEW** I went during the week so it was awesome because there were only 2 other toddlers. My little girl (14 months) LOVED it! There are nearby benches which make it easy to set up your lunch and to lay out your stuff. I left right when the school let out (its less than 1 block away) but I can see where the teenagers might be a nuisance… screaming, cussing, playing on the playground alongside little ones, etc. The splash pad is only open during the summer (duh) so go enjoy it!

This park has been revamped and includes awesome things such as:
–Water splashy things that come out of the ground for kids to play in.
–Awesomely LARGE playground for kids of all ages.
(I love that in addition to a bunch of regular swings, there are also a good
number of infant swings for my 10mo. old)
–Playground has floor made of thick cushiony foam.
–Outdoor fitness equipment.
–A couple of basketball courts.
–Softball diamond.
–Picnic tables with bbq grills.
Some bad things about this place:
–Can get crowded at times, especially in the summer.
–Most of the grass is either on the super sloping hill or next to the basketball court where you get pegged by runaway basketballs. So there are not that many good places to picnic with the baby.
–The park is nice but the houses surrounding the park, not so much. So be prepared for teenagers bumping music and making out on their lawns, ghetto kids playing in the park unattended by parents and therefore messing with your child. Didn’t happen to me since mine is too young to play in the playground but I noticed some of the other kids and their parents had to deal with grubby looking neighborhood children throwing other kids toys away into the trash, getting bucketfuls of water and pouring it down the slides, and other generally bullying behavior.
