Today was such a lovely day to visit this park, yet I had no idea how huge Vista View Park really was. Everywhere I looked people were either walking the trails, walking their dogs, running, skating, bicycling, playing basketball, fishing at the pier, or watching their kids playing on the playground. There were even people walking up and along the big hills. Might as well call this "Fitness Park" because that's what everyone was doing...being active.

Vista View Park is open seven days a week. Admission is free during the week and costs $1.50 on weekends and holidays. There is plenty of parking around the park, as well as pavilions and picnic shelters that can be reserved for birthday parties and/or barbecues. There are basketball courts, a fitness station, two playgrounds, and a catch & release fishing pier. The hills in the park are ideal for bicyclists to ride and train. There are also designated trails for horseback riding. I didn't see any horses, but I sure could smell the Sugar Honey Ice Tea in the air...HINT: The capital letters spells out the word. Pets are allowed in the park. They must be on leashes and the owners are responsible for the cleanup. Definitely will come back to Vista View Park. I would like to challenge myself to walk those trails after the holidays.
