Hills Park


Today we went to Hills Park. I hadn't been to this park in ages, maybe not since Highschool. This is actually the park we went and hung out at after Prom, so it has been awhile. And sadly, I am not sure I will take the kids back. But they had fun while they were there, and it brought back some fun memories for Mom.

Location: Major Cross Streets - Rampart and Hillpointe Drive.

Amenities:
  • Playground Equipment
  • Bench Seating for parents next to the Playground equipment, semi-covered
  • Tennis Courts x2
  • Sand Volleyball court
  • Covered Individual Picnic Tables w/ grills
  • Larger covered group area that looks like it can be reserved
  • 2 small game tables with 2 seats each- (for games like chess)
  • Swing set - 2 kiddie swings, 2 big kid swings
  • One hoop Basketball court
  • Grassy areas, but nothing flat
  • Bathroom with water fountain
Downfalls
  • Playground equipment is not covered, only has one slide, and is not all connected. You have to get off one level and either run around the outside, or climb a ladder up to the top level.
  • Dirt under the playground equipment
  • Playground equipment geared towards older kids, have to be able to climb ladders as that is really the only way around.
  • No parking for the park, surrounded by schools on both sides, not sure where you would park during the week
