Pretty basic. Nice park if you are close by. Nice treehouses out in the woods if you go west off of the western extension.

Second geocaching outing for the kids. We walked about one and a half miles on the way to logging about 6 caches.

Western Oaks (other side of Beckett) is a better hike.

Willow and I would like to encourage all persons with dogs to pick up after your critter (quite a bit of leavings on/along this trail). That aside, I was surprised at how nice this trail is, being that it's in the middle of a well developed neighborhood. Not much traffic noise, and we only met 4 or 5 other folks out enjoying the day. Lots of tree-cover and birds (cardinals, mockingbirds, and some yellowish wren sized ones that wouldn't sit still). For days when you don't feel like trudging up and down hill, this little trail is a good one.

Interesting park

Watch out for the cacti.

Pleasant Paved Loop Trail

There is a nice wide concrete exercise/paved loop on the pool parking lot side of the park, and it winds through a wooded area. I didn't go to the natural trail that is covered here.

Better than an average neighborhood trail

This park has the feel of a neighborhood park, but with more amenities, such as the pool, and a trail that easy, but a bit more interesting than the typical hike and bike trail.
