Ariel W.· 3 years agoThe Gardens North County District Park opened in June of 2019 in conjunction with the city's 60th anniversary Diamond Anniversary event. The park was built at a cost of 13.7 million dollars. North County District Park is a 82-acre athletic and recreation complex. It is located on 117th Court North near the city's tennis center. The sprawling park includes seven lighted multi-purpose fields, two open fields, a splash pad, nature trail and walking areas, three pavilions, two playgrounds, gravity rail and 23.6 acres of preserve. it is the largest athletic complex in the area and has more than 600 parking spots. The pristine athletic fields make this park ideal for team sports but children will also love cooling off at the splash pad and playing at the ninja styled shade covered playground. My favorite part of the park was the nature trail. I just wish it had parking closer to the entrance. The field next to trail is under construction so I am excited to see what will be added to the park next.

Jenna West· 4 years agoWhat a great park! Tons of parking, lots of fields, nicely lit and clean. The splash pad is perfect for kids and has a nice shaded area for parents. Fully fenced in too, which makes it feel safe! The playground is creative and engaging with lots of unique features.
