Review: “Big track to run or bike on, a dog park, 2 basketball courts, giant soccer field, restrooms, and BBQ grills, and a swimming pool that is closed for now but will be back in service next year. Nice quiet park, with even more amenities in the works. Nice place.” -Jason

Review: “Came here for a Pokémon PvP tournament and it was great. It’s a beautiful area and the park is clean and well maintained. There is plenty of room for the kids to play as there are multiple climbing frames and different activities. There’s also some nice basketball courts and large pavilions that are well shaded for parents to relax at.” - Leanne

Shadow Creek Ranch Nature Trail
Review: “Well kept nature trail with informative displays along the trail which is paved. The trail includes an observation tower affording you an opportunity to see a far distance and observe the flora and fauna. We saw many varieties of birds mostly. Also an abundance of rabbits. The displays along the way showed pictures of just about everything that could be seen, so that was very helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The entire trail is a little over a mile and a half on the paved portion and definitely worth seeing.” -Bob
