Additionally, high-tech scoreboards funded by the Oakland Athletics have been installed at each baseball/softball field.

The park originally opened in 1988 and also features playgrounds, volleyball and pickleball courts, equestrian trails, two disc golf courses, a community fishing lake and a multigenerational center spanning over 76-thousand-square-feet.
