A - sandbox, B-slide & rotating climber, c-swing
Jenny C.

This park is relatively small compare to other parks in the neighborhood. However, if you are looking for sand box for little kids, this is the best spot. It's under a big canopy! My daughter who's 4 can easily spend two hours here playing with sand. There are plenty seating areas around the sandbox and they are also under the shade.

We love this park , once we were daily visitors since we lived right across the street. It's well maintained and clean. My son loves the sand play area. He loves the ball cement structures too. The park is small but for me that's good so that I can control my super active toddler. They used to have big swings where you can sit along with ur chid but I no longer see them. They have swings for big kids as well as for little ones. Slide and a little tunnel under it , grass area with a slope where kids can roll over or slide down. Merry go round like structure which most of the kids love. They have few benches for picnic. Evenings the park gets crowded sometimes.

Here I am in the 'burbs. We have hills and green grass and strip malls and chirping birds and FREE parking. I live a mere 2 blocks from BART and there is a family farm across the street from our home. I find that I drive everywhere now, as opposed to walking and taking the bus. A far cry from my idealistic days of SF city living. Again, here I am in the 'burbs. I am married with a baby and a cat. But I don't mean to imply that any of that is bad, mind you. It actually kind of rocks. In addition to all of the aforementioned, let me mention that we happen to live 2 big, giant, suburban blocks away from the Always Dream Play Park over at Lake Elizabeth/Central Park, a lovely new contribution from hometown Olympian, Kristi Yamaguchi's foundation of the same name. It's the perfect walk from our place (we opt for the stroller in lieu of the SUV) and the layout is perfect for babies and toddlers, as well as older kids. The little one and I (and the baby-nanny) have logged many hours since it's opening January 2010. The J-man cruises around on padded ground, giggles and chats on baby swings, and discovered total confusion over sand on his feet in the sand box. (Fortunately, there's a nice little fountain we could dangle his feet into to remove the weird new stuff from his little toes.) He's even had some fun socializing with other cruisers and crawlers. In addition to the baby stuff, there are bigger swings, a cool merry-go-round, and a slide fit for bigger kids. The only down side that I've experienced has been the bigger kids carelessly tromping through the area designated for babies, so beware of leaping grade & middle schoolers, especially on holidays and weekends. Another downside is random Cheerio's on the ground. Funny how something so seemingly benign could make a sunny day in the park meltdown city! The J-man was denied his find of his new fave snack and his newest emotion, the mega-tantrum, was unleashed. Ahhh, nothing like a day in the park. :)

Big swing.

It's a great park. Not too crowded, lot of open space. My kid loves the swings and just running around.

We drove 45 min to reach this location from the east bay. Our lil one loves parks and we're always…read morelooking for new locations for her to explore. When we came across a video of this location on instagram we knew we had to plan a day to come. The weather says 80, but with the breeze and the slight shade from the trees it felt more like low 70s. We were lucky to get the only bench in front of the main play structure over looking the smaller ones. Others sat in lawn chairs and on blankets under the trees. There is no public restroom on site. There is a Ranch 99 about a block away, so if the lil one had to potty that is where we planned to venture. There is one food truck selling Mexican food - cash only - otherwise bring your own snacks. We were fortunate to snag parking directly in front of the park as space is limited. Around the park, there is a single block creating half a "circle" of parking availability. There is more parking around but it requires crossing the street. The residential street directly across from the park is no parking 9a-4p. There is a path for littles to ride their bikes, scooters or skate around safely, remaining visible. Our daughter kept hers in the car while she played between the multiple structures with different "friends." There is also a fitness area on site as well as a smaller tot area in a separate section of the park and a half basketball court. There was a birthday party being held on the premise. This is definitely a park we would return to if she requested. The lack of restroom does have me a bit torn, but knowing this allows us to plan a bit smarter. I would bring a friend along to accompany her as they could play on different structures while both remain visible. Our tall 6 year old played in both areas of the park - big and little kid areas - and enjoyed them both. They is quite a bit of exploring and lots to do for a free adventure day at the park.

We were at the DMV waiting for our turn so instead of just standing around outside, we decided to…read morego on a walk. Actually it was also a way to keep an eye out for my car which was parked at that park as the parking for the DMV was completely full at 9am in the morning on a Friday. L O C A T I O N Off of Dusterberry and Peralta, there's parking on the perimeter of the park that's for 2 hours. Now this can get full if the DMV is full as I parked there initially around 9am and by the time we left around 11am, it was kind of packed. P A R K There are a few playground structures, some for the little ones and some for the bigger kids. There's this huge structure that is kind of scary to be honest and I saw a tiny kid climb and hang and say he was Spiderman. So I'm sure he's super excited, but know that if their hands slip, they can easily fall many feet to the floor. I've seen these types of structures before, so I'm sure parents are very careful about having their kids play on them. There is a swing set where a parent and their baby can swing together which was cute! I've never seen such a structure before. There's also a walking path that goes around the park which is what we did. I think folks are a little sad there's no toilets here which I think yes is a downside, but I can also see why they don't want to put public toilets. I don't recall water fountains, but I'm sure they must have some. Otherwise, it looks like a very new park with lots of things for kids to do. My niece would have a field day here. There doesn't seem to be many huge trees (yet) for shade, but I think that's just because they just planted these trees. O V E R A L L A lovely park with playground structures that are relatively new. A great way to pass the time at the DMV if you have time to kill or just have a kiddo who wants to play.

I debated for a few days on what to dedicate my 100th review to, and while I was jogging this…read moreafternoon, I found myself staring right at it: our community park. I've called Kimber Park my home for more than half of my life, and Buena Vista Park is an irreplaceable facet of this community. It's small, quaint, and has everything you could want in a small neighborhood park. The playground has swings (my favorite!), with two big kid (adult?) and two baby swings. There's a playground structure, complete with slides, climbing bars, and a tic-tac-toe wall. Oh the days of Hot Lava Monster! There are two wooden benches to rest your weary legs, and a rough basketball court with one hoop. The expansive green field with huge trees decorating the edges of the park makes the park an ideal spot to play sports, bring your dog, or just lie on the grass and chill. I've seen people fly kites and throw frisbees, and around the perimeter there is the occasional biker and jogger--hopefully, that'll be me more often haha. I have yet to see the park filled with people to the point of noise pollution and people congestion, which contributes to the serenity of this spot. There is no parking lot, but most visitors are local community members, and there is parking along the borders of the park for those with vehicles. The park closes from 30 minutes past sunset until dawn. But, between you and me, some of the best moments in this park are at night when you and your friends can sit on the swings, stare up at the vast night sky, and marvel at the beauty of the peace, leisure, and life.

My daughter loved this park. Not much shade though. No bathroom. Soft ground, relativly safe play…read morearea. Nice and open field, great for oicnics it kites, frisbeeb and outside sport really. Some people place futbol here.
