One of the best parks in Fremont; everyone can come together and enjoy!…read more This park is incredibly huge -- love the open space! There is a basketball court, field, and also a play structures for kids to play. It's a big space; it's not cluttered. There are grills and tables for bbq. Lots of trees as well. The bathrooms are available for men and women, they're cleaner than what I would have expected from a public park. There is a parking lot available as well as street parking. It's a fairly safe park; perfect for all ages!

A great park for get togethers and parties but also good for the daily decompression…read more With its large grassy area, two interactive playgrounds for kids of all ages, basketball courts, two parking lots and plenty of street parking, and decent bathroom and drinking water facilities, Karl Nordvik Park is a popular one and brings in many of the locals and residents nearby. Tucked behind the semi-public sports field typically used by organized sports teams, the park is easily accessible with plenty of parking spots. The ramps make it easy to load and unload passengers and stuff for your day out. The picnic tables and barbecue pit is great for hosting mealtime and celebrations but we found that the grassy field was just as good if you have a canopy available. The flooring is quite flat and well maintained for the most part. If you have children with you, the playgrounds offer ample space for them to imaginary play and work on body control. The flooring is padded so no worries about splinters from bark. They have a smaller dedicated playground for younger children that has slides and climbing structures. Swings are found in the middle and are low enough for younger children to clamber on. A rope structure offers some more advanced climbing and the larger structure has some taller slides for those thrill seekers. I found that the basketball courts are typically taken but if you're looking for players, you'll have your pick here! The bathrooms are accessible and are relatively well maintained. There's also a water fountain if you didn't bring your own fluids. Overall, Karl Nordvik Park is a solid park for children, families, and sports enthusiasts. The park has been around for a long time and it's been upgraded recently and it seems to also be better maintained since. If you need a place to relax or looking to embark in some park related activities, Karl Nordvik is conveniently located near the bridge and highway as well as many residential properties. Come check it out but be sure to bring your sunblock!

Quick review on my end:…read more [[ Cons ]] 1.) What the hell is up with the slide height? It's like 2-3 feet off the ground. In any case, if you have a young toddler, just make sure you watch them get off the slide because it's just so high off the ground. See picture. [[ Pros ]] 1.) Huge park with ample parking. I felt like it was pretty clean and well-kept overall and it felt super spacious. The Union City BART runs above the park which is cool but loud at the same time. 2.) The trees embedded into the Playground act as natural SHADE. Oh my goodness do I love having shade while my kid is at the playground for 1-2 hours. Felt awesome. 3.) The Golden Gate Bridge play structure was awesome. My kid loved it and probably ran up and down the bridge and the various slides attached to it 100 times. Park is great besides the weird slide disembark heights.

a review from @amom2kidsandapark…read more Who doesn't love a colorful playground? This Union City spot is sure to excite! I was surprised to find this playground just one block away from the impressive Casa Verde park. This park is much smaller in size, but there is still plenty of sidewalk and grass to enjoy along with the playground, picnic tables with bbq, and giant trees. The playground has one tall structure, a climbing tower, and a swing set with standard swings only. The structure has three slides each from a different level, a short sidewinder, a spiral, and a very tall long sidewinder. Connecting each level are colorful plastic steps reminding me of a staircase. There are also basic steps, ladders, bells (that are oddly positioned and hard to ring... you have to wedge your arm through a banister of the staircase), and the cutest little hidden turtles. We spent a good deal of time on the playground but we brought our bikes/ scooters with us this day and it was just the second time with the pedal bike for brother. He was so excited to ride the many well-kept sidewalks that circle the park and connect through for varying routes. Union City has really great bike-friendly parks. On the opposite end of the playground, there is a small ball field. Across the street from the park is an exercise station. This park has no bathrooms or parking lot. Street parking is easy. For closest to playground park on San Andreas Dr. Don't miss the poky trees (and definitely don't fall off your bike/scooter onto them )

Very nice suburban park in Union City that has many features for the local community to use/access…read more Nestled between a big street (Dyer Rd) and a quiet residential, so it is quite spacious yet well laid out. It has curves so it isn't just a rectangle space. And I found the landscaping to be very clean and well thought out. Street parking only but I've never seen an issue with over crowding the residential. There's so much curb parking throughout the circumference that it spreads parking out. There is a war memorial here with plaques and towering flags. It is quite official looking and don't remember this years ago when I was younger. There's a small playground with a cool cement slide that kids love to zoom down on with cardboard underneath them. There's a basketball court, 6 tennis courts and 2 baseball/softball fields. All available for the community to use. I got reacquainted with this park as I parked once and ate a lunch on a bench on a beautiful spring day. I took a short walk around the park for a little exercise and took in the scenery and features. I eventually came back to practice on this massive tennis wall where you can hit into this wall and the ball just comes right back. A way to practice/work out without a partner. Except I used it for pickleball which I am trying to learn. It's helped me out immensely even with just a few visits. I don't live in this town but I live less than 3 miles from here. I have parks nearer to me but none have these specific features that's been attracting me as of late. It is clean, peaceful and vibrant with community activity and to that I can only show some love. Easy fiver!

Found a hidden gem park today Not too crowded, so kids…read moredon't have to wait and can play freely The highlight is definitely this concrete slide! Fast and super fun--kids absolutely love it and don't want to stop Tip: bring a piece of cardboard, it makes sliding smoother and even more fun! What we like: Clean and newer picnic area Restrooms available (very convenient!) Plenty of parking Heads up: Not much shade and limited seating, so bringing a picnic mat is a good idea Overall, a relaxing and low-crowd spot for kids to run and play Perfect for after school or a chill weekend outing Veteran's Memorial Park - Hall Ranch 4525 Dyer St, Union City, CA 94587

The size of the field allows my dog to run around without getting too close to the playground where kids are or the basketball courts where people might be playing.

They really need to update the jungle gym at the Union Landing park near the Regents Blvd neighborhood. My son got bored there so we headed here. He enjoys the mini Rock climbing section, the tube slide, the High slide, the bridge (which he calls the troll bridge ..lol thanks to Dora The Explorer) and the mini tunnels. I love the soft surface. "A plus plus" for that!!! I hate sand or bark at jungle gyms. Having the soft surface seems much more sanitary. I thought the little spinning pole thingys ..(forgive me, I don't know what they are called lol) are pretty cool. The basketball court are is also really nice. I would of given this park 5 stars but minus one star because I wish they had benches, tables and a BBQ area. This would of been a nice place to have a small party or get-together.
