I haven't been here in year's & I'm so glad I decided to! I use to come here often 13 year's ago & decided to bring my son for the first time in 6 year's & he loved every moment! There's different parts/paths to it all, but we generally go where the Temple is. I love seeing all the people who go, including kid's! If you go, I recommend taking a small backpack with essentials: water, bug spray, sun block & snacks. You could be there for hour's because there is so much to see!

I was a little disappointed in the park. The beach only had one shower. Vehicles were driving on the sidewalk. Some vehicles double-parked. A lack of Park personnel throughout the park however there was approximately 7 lifeguards. People had large areas roped-off for their private use.

My kids and I go to this park almost weekly. Love the walks here especially the lake and feeding the ducks. Lot of different jungle gyms for the kids. They also have a lake to swim and another side where the ducks are at they have little water boats to peddle.

Great family fun on a budget. Parking is $10 & if you plan on doing any kayaking it's $7 a day with your own equipment. If your plan on just resting and barbecuing, there are benches and tables. This park is dog friendly and is divided In Sections so it does not feel over crowded. Great for a day trip.

Questions & Answers

When does the beach open

Patricia Cervantes | Aug 27, 2018
Susie HRTsAFyre | Aug 26, 2020

This is a creek, no beach here. Just hiking, bike and horse trails that follow alongside the creek. The creek is the over flow spilllway that comes from Puddingstone Lake at Frank G Bonelli Regional Park. Free parking, frogs, no fish, no camping or picnic areas. Bring your dogs on a leash.
