This park is 80% sports (basketball, pickleball & soccer) & play structure, and 20% park. For sports people and parents, this is a great destination. We went to play pickleball at 10 am on a weekday and the place was packed. Level of play was high: many serious players training for a tournament. As beginners we felt out of place, and players there did not bother to reach out to make newcomers feel welcome. Testosterone level high: nearly ALL men. Apparently an intermediate group (with men and women) left to go to Calabazas just before we arrived. I didn't like the system of placing you paddles next to one specific court (there are 4 in parallel), which means some players could monopolize a specific court (really good players can intimidate). Shades available in the morning - the sun will shift and it'll be very different in the afternoon. But there is a very large tree behind the pickleball courts (see my 3rd photo, shot from corner of the court toward the large area of shade + restrooms) where you'll find shade all day.
