Wilbur & Theresa Faiss Park

Such big slides and best varieties I’ve seen yet! Thanks Faiss for making it so close to home :)

I love this park. It has a HUGE playground and field, as well as BBQ areas. There is a super tall slide, rock climbing walls, 6 swings, monkey bars, pretty much all the staples of an awesome park. My kids love it here. Even when there are 20+ kids, it doesn’t feel crowded because it is so large. Love that it’s shaded for warmer days where you don’t want to be out in the sun & that it has it’s own reserved parking.
I would probably never come here in the Summer because it does share the same parking as Wet n’ Wild & their patrons may not heed the reserved parking signs, but on a beautiful day, you can catch me here with my kids playing soccer and running around on all the fun things to do.

Clean new park. Great for all ages. It has a 3 story slide. Lots of grass for family get togethers. No sand is a plus!

Me and then kiddos love the park. Never too busy and lots of shade too. Set up nicely for big kids and younger kids. It always seems to be clean so that’s a big plus

A quick getaway when the kids feel antsy at home and need to burn some energy. It is located on Fort Apache next to FAISS middle school and shares a parking lot with Wet n Wild.
It’s not enormous in size but big enough to have two play areas, one side appropriate for the bigger kids and the other for the little ones. They have your standard park features: Slides, swings, jungle gym, monkey bars etc. and offers a sizeable area for kids and dogs to run around and to fly kites on days like yesterday where it was windy.
Its surroundings maintained well and plenty of room to have a picnic with friends and family or hold a children’s party.

We love this park because there is so much to do, however, I could not give it five stars because the bathrooms are ALWAYS locked! Weekdays or weekends, no open bathrooms :(
It may not be an issue if I didn’t have a toddler who recently potty-​trained, or if I wasn’t 8 ½ months pregnant… but there needs to be open bathrooms.

This is a nice little park with two different play areas for the kids. One for little kids and one for older children. There is a large group are in between the kids areas and it has a lot of tables. There are also some other tables on around the perimeter which offer some privacy if you have a small group.
There are large grassy areas that are large enough to play football in. According the the Review Journal there will eventually be a community pool here also, but there are no sighs of any construction.
There is an access road next to the park, but it is currently blocked off for some reason.
