Great place all around. There is fishing allowed in the pound. Also seen a secret 2 foot long monster fish waiting to be caught.

It’s really a shame that the city allows this beautiful park to be overran by the homeless. Every single morning the gates are lined up with all the homeless and their shopping carts full of things, just waiting to get in. As a tax payer it seems unfair that were paying for the up keep of the park, but can’t even enjoy it because you don’t feel safe. It’s never fun to be out walking your dog with your kids and you get approached by a homeless person who is obviously struggling with substance abuse. Shame on our city for allowing this. Take a page from the book of how Kingsburg city council handles their city.
