Valley Creek Park — Attraction in Mesquite

I've been twice, the first time it felt fairly safe because there were more people around not looking to cause trouble. The second time was during a weekday around 1 and I am certain my vulnerability being a woman with a child in a nearly abandoned park was my mistake, because a man was stalking and staring at me.
