Bicentennial Park

This is a huge park and I think they've done the cleanup that Candice mentioned in her review four years ago.The splash pad is closed for the season (it's October 2021 now) but the playgrounds were being used today. Several kids were actively swinging and climbing on the various playground sets. The largest playground is completely enclosed by a low fence and has a rubberized base.There is a large picnic shelter with a few tables underneath that was being used today. An 18 hole disc golf course, walking path and a number of natural areas make this a nice park for accessing some nature.[Review 16041 overall - 226 in Texas - 1546 of 2021.]

This splash pad and playground is good for a couple hours of fun.My chief complaint is that there isn't enough covered space to sit while the kids do their thing and not enough of the playground is covered, making a lot of it useless during summer days due to being too hot. The playground areas are also geared toward older toddler age and up and it would be nice if they had an area for smaller kids to crawl around. I couldn't set my baby down because the playground is on pebbles.There is a big open field on one side of the splash pad as well, so it's conducive to bringing your own activities and the kids running around.Overall it's an ok way to keep the kids cool while burning a bit of energy.

We had a good time at the park. It would be nice if the swings had some shade, especially when the temps reach over 100 degrees like it was today. The water cuts off every 8 minutes and it takes multiple pushes of the buttons to get it going again and I think one of the buttons (the one nearest the shaded picnic table) is non-functional. Also the water pressure seems weak. I find it sad that there are so many measures in place to hamper water flow. It's water. It's not that expensive. These are kids, I mean, come on. Do better. Fix the issues.
