Big tree!
Darla D.

This is a small decent park, we had a picnic and the kids ran around. It was a nice day out and a nice place to stop off and have our lunch. The park is in a quiet residential area on one side but right of Route 66 on the other. Street parking is ok. Mostly locals are here in the park taking a nice stroll or break. There is a nice covered gazebo to just be able to sit and take in some fresh air and of course don't forget the giant tree that the park is named after.

Took my parents to visit this tree since we were very impressed with its cousin in Santa Barbara. I can see why ppl ask if wedding are aloud, which they are for a small fee for permit. But know it's not gated, it's next to single family homes & a business parking lot across. But there wasn't a lot of vehicular traffic & I couldn't hear the main road nearby. There roots of the tree are not corded off like I had read, but I figure it's common sense to not try & climb & not step on the roots for generations to come. The minus one star is just bc it's quite far from anything else worth visiting, but can be a slight detour on your way out to Vegas.

I had to walk halfway down the block to get this picture,

Well they got the name right. The is more than just big. It is really, really big. Big enough in fact that it covers the whole park. It is a Moreton Bay Fig, native to Australia and was planted in 1880. It is 90 foot in height and the roots cover over 1,200 square feet. Now that's a big tree.

When I move, you move (Just like that)…read moreWhen I move, you move (Just like that) Hell yeah, hey DJ brin' that back... You can move all around this park. 5/5 Amenities From pickleball, to the playground or doing Ollie's on the skate park. There are a lot of activities you can do at this location. There are courts for pickleball or tennis, fields for baseball or soccer, picnic tables all over for you to take a load off or paved walkways for you to get your steps in. 5/5 Trees Nothing beats having large trees to give you shade on sunny days. Rainy days are a different story. 5/5 Parking Parking all around the park. You can even park right next to the kids playground. Overall solid park to fit whatsoever your heart desires. So be sure to move and Psalm 119:89, God bless

Other than folks mistakenly referring to it as 'Finkbinder', we love our local G-town park…read more I think the additional 'd' might come from an old 50's themed restaurant in the Village called Fender Benders (sp?), which closed many years ago - and folks confusing the two. But, that said, only old Glendorans would be making that mistake and yet I hear folks of all ages add the 'd'. The park has lots of amenities we've used since our kids were born and even before... - summer concerts and movies in the park - birthday or event areas (Scouting) - playground - tennis court (other side taken by pickleball :( - skate park - sports fields - horseshoes - volleyball - community center And more. We love walking through the park on the way to the Village. If you haven't been, worth checking out pretty much any day of the week. So many fond memories created at Finkbiner. Even Pokémon Go events, haha.

We came here to burn off calories after a heavy brunch. Rancho Park is one of several situated in…read moreour Rosedale community and this is one of our more frequented ones because they have a swing for babies and their slides are suitable for smaller children. The playground structure is shaped like a fire truck, likely an homage to the nearby fire station just a stone's throw away. There are 4 swings - 2 for babies, another 2 for bigger kids and adults. There is a roofed area with 2 picnic tables but no barbecue grill. I have seen families spread blankets on the grassy lot for picnic purposes. I have also come across some ladies who do yoga exercises. For those who shoot hoops, there is a half basketball court. It is a small park but it is clean, well-maintained, not crowded and just the right size and atmosphere for those who want a laid-back playtime with their kids.

I had an unmemorable experience at Rancho Park. It's quaint, adorable, and well-maintained;…read morehowever, this location is small. It feels like a small resident's park. I arrived on a Saturday (around 10:20AM). This location is open from 5AM to 10PM. Did I feel safe? Yes. It looks well-maintained and clean. Only a few families were here, and they were celebrating an occasion and taking advantage of the playground. What utilities? There's a colorful, new playground. I liked that it had a spinning wheel/carousel. There was about one public table, one restroom, and a water fountain. There was also a kid-sized basketball hoop. It's not a court. What are the negatives? There's no space to walk or exercise. It's an extreme bare minimum. This "park" felt like a play-set built in an affluent neighbor's backyard. This is a spot for local residents. Also, the parking is bad for visitors; there's no parking lot. Visitors park on the side of the road; sign says, "No Parking Thursday - 7AM to 11:30AM." Overall, Rancho Park is a quaint curiosity. It's well-maintained, but if it ever gets busy, you'll have zero room to do anything. At the very least, there's nice shades from trees. If bored, you can just lay on the grass. 3.5 out of 5

Families played soccer on the wide grassy fields or just enjoyed the playgrounds. What utilities? There's two playgrounds, volleyball area, one basketball court, grassy baseball area, painted handball wall, restroom, and plenty of tables. There's also a clear, dirt walking path with plenty of tall trees. And there's a pet waste plastic bag area. I also LOVE how there's a lion water fountain. What are the negatives? Gladstone Park's age felt a little noticeable. The worn down colors of certain areas look unattractive, and I dislike how the pathway is simply dirt. Overall, Gladstone Park is a great option for locals. It's spacious. The playground area is also fun enough for the younger ones. 4.6 out of 5

We've been coming here for about a year now and loved the playground but how am I now just…read morerealizing there's a 5G tree tower in the park? As if that wasn't bad enough it looks like they're doing some landscaping renovations and they've been spraying weed killer on weeds where kids probably play and or walk on. So the kids step on the weed killer then go and spread it around on the play grounds. Keep an eye out for the green tint on the floor where they are spraying the weeds, it's everywhere
