Valley Hi Park

This park is 40 years old on a final 20 acre property. Ballfields, basketball court and children play areas. Picnic tables, walking paths and benches. Mature shade trees throughout. However, no restrooms. I don't understand such oversight in a park this size.

So we brought the baby to the park this morning, Valley High park. We've never been to this park before and as soon as we arrive within the first ten - fifteen minutes she has to go to the restroom and there isn't one here. So we have to leave to take her to one and all she's worried about is if she's coming back? Lord have mercy... The park is nice and its pretty big, where as it has two sets of swings and slides on it. It has a basketball court and it has a volleyball court as well. It has this big dinosaur looking thing (pic below). That I personally don't think that it looks safe and hope if parents allow their children on it they're watching them. Now as far as the volleyball court goes, its definitely not something that you see too often at a park.The park is clean and because it's doing the morning hours its not busy,its quiet. I know this park has been here for many years and it has been extremely well taken care of. I mean like the reams have nets and so does the volleyball court and that mean everything here! No trash on the ground and working water faucets.The park is close to Valley High School on one side and on the other side of the park there is what looks to be an elementary school (not sure of the name). We saw the lil children playing outside.Its located in a residential neighborhood. There are lots of houses around and apartment complexes as well. Its also not to far from the new light rail station that they just extended out. Its a busy area and during the evening,this park get extremely busy. I will say considering this is not the best neighborhood. I have never heard of any problem at this park.This park is used by everyone from small children to teenagers to young men to older men on the courts to walkers that walk around the park, and thats something that you see all times of day, because theres like a walking path around the park.. It also has quite a few benches to sit and tables and a couple of B.B.Q grills. Everything was just painted, the signs were on the tables and benches indicating so.I was amazed once we were there. We got to see both sides because when we arrived the first time, we were near the elementary school. When we returned from the restroom run we came to the other side, closer to the High School side.There is also lots of shade trees, which also makes it nice. We evjoyed the park today and without a doubt will return, while my daughter is still near here. Great day, great park... I was truly impressed!

For us living in the ghetto (hee...hee) we enjoy this park...lots of people in the neighborhood walk in the mornings & evening...The girls (Nellie & Coco) enjoy our morning & evening walks & its about the only thing that keeps us sane these days with these two busy bodies...wearing them out & getting some exercise along the way...There's also have been events like the Food Truck Drive & BOSS' annual events...Nice trees & areas for the kids...people playing soccer & basketball im the evenings too...what a wonderful way to end our evening...

I took my girls here last week for a quick picnic and let's just say this park was horrible. They had a small playground with a couple of nice swings, however it was extremely dirty to the point of my daughter saying why is there so much trash on the ground and benches.This park would not be so bad if someone came by from time to time to clean it up.
