    Big parking lot
    Victor G.

    Athan Downs Park is an amazing piece of engineering and maximum utilization of land use. every foot is maximized to allow usage for sports activities. amenities: 3 baseball fields, 4 soccer fields, a children's playground, tennis, volleyball, basketball courts, picnic areas, green grass and a large parking lot. dogs are permitted too, but only on leases.

    It's a very nice park for bringing your dog or walking around. There's a kiddie playground, picnic tables, basketball courts, baseball/soccer field and tennis courts. During the soccer/baseball season, this park fill up with a lot of parents in attendance and it will get crowded. If you're lucky, you might catch the Mr. Softee ice cream truck during the Summer!

    After the play area's makeover, this park gets five stars and is one of the better playgrounds in the area for toddlers. They got rid of the sand and now only have one small sand pit for kids (yeah for me). Now the entire area under the play structure is the rubber mat with lots of cushion. The play structure is also huge, with lots of ramps for early walkers, shade, lots of slides, swings and a large variety built in activities. There are even sounds that come out of speakers when kids step on certain images on the rubber mat. This park also has tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, lots if picnic tables, and tons of green space.

    Athan Downs is a nice little park. It has a sizable playground area for the kiddies, a ball diamond and an open field, basketball and tennis courts, a nice leafy picnic area, modern restrooms, and a snack shack. Gayle and I had a great time with the extended family here today.

    We love this park. Even though it takes us about 20 min. to drive here, we always love to come here and have play dates. The climbing structures are perfect for all ages. It never gets boring and it provides a great opportunity for many open ended activities and play for the children. The big green field right behind the play structure is also great to run and play ball but sometimes there are ppl. who let their dog off leash and play (which I don't understand as this is not a dog park!) .. so gotta watch out for that. Lots of picnic tables in shaded areas but most mommies just sit on the sitting wall and have their snack there. Also another big plus lots of parking space!

    Very clean and kept up with. The play structures are nice and my 8,7, and 4 year olds had a blast. There is a lot of grass area (like acres)! Picnic areas are clean. We didn't visit the bathroom.

    Central Park in San Ramon looks pretty standard at first, but ended up being better than expected…read more I came for a friends' kid's birthday party and even on a weekend it felt open and not too crowded. The grass was green and well kept, and there was plenty of space for kids to run around. The covered picnic areas with a roof was so nice and perfect for rainy days or a hot sunny weather, and it offered many things to keep kids entertained such as a good-sized playground. It's clean, easy, and works well for group gatherings. Only downside is the restrooms were available but not very clean, and parking can get a bit tight. Overall, a reliable spot for things like birthday parties without feeling chaotic.

    This is the best park in San Ramon. My son loves the water part and playground. We are here almost…read moreeveryday during Summer Time. There is a lot of shade under the trees so your not burning hot in the sun when it's over 90 degrees in the summer time. I've rented the picnic tables under the shade with the bbq pit near the playground when we have our Family get togethers. It's best to rent the picnic tables during the summer time so that you have that spot reserved for you and your guests. If someone tries to take your spot you just show them your permit and reservation for that spot and they have to leave. It was funny watching kids making the big slide into a water slide they were all lined up passing the bucket of waters to pour down the slide. We always have playdates here the kids love it. I like it better than Rancho because there is more shade here

We did not go further in to the hiking area . Plenty of car parks . Public restrooms with supplies are near by the children playground . Lots of pickle tables and BBQ grilled . This is a great location for a birthday party or friends gathering. A little further down are the beautiful fountain and a heart shaped pond . Lovely plantations and trees are omit . A few chairs . Perfect spot for photo shoots for groups or for small family. It is going to have more sun the next few days . I could imagine how beautiful this park would be with sunshine and blue sky !

A whole family of cows greeted us at the gate. There were cute baby cows too. After the cows finally left the gate entrance, we opened it and walked into the trail. It was pretty steep going uphill but once you got up the hill, the views were beautiful and reminded me of Dorset England. I just saw a documentary about Dorset and this looks just like it. Rolling green hills and valleys. With the blue skies, it was so peaceful. It's not a crowded place so we really enjoyed the peace of it. Lots of families with children hike here. It's such a safe place to get fresh air and exercise. We will definitely come back for another hike and lunch afterwards.

There's a larger park - with a zip line, a little obstacle play structure + slide, swings, and many more activities. There's also a smaller park on the other side that's suitable for younger children. You can also find shaded areas to sit and eat down at. A large grass field to run around or fly a kite. And a trail that goes around the park - perfect for walking, biking, or roller blading. I mentioned earlier that the main park was crowded, but the green area is very quiet and peaceful. I'm considering having one of my kid's birthday party's here. I truly enjoyed it. And I got to try out Mister Softee for the first time - which was parked out front for the day.

There was also an area where there were hammocks, a monument area, and even a community garden. There were also multiple bridges all spread throughout the park. The playground is a great place to bring kids, I loved the amenities they had, such as a jungle playground, zip line, and a giant slide for kids ages 5-12. This is a great place to bring your kids to play, and awesome place to walk your dog. There is a huge field of grass in the center of it all. We also saw cyclists.
