    One of my daughters favorite parks! There's a variety of structures to play on for all ages. Bonus, its near great restaurants and the farmers market on Wednesday and Saturday!

    Central Park Gardens
    Meghan R.

    Central Park is the location of the weekly Farmers Market, has some great playgrounds, and is host to M-F Fit4Mom Stroller Strides. But did you know it also has a beautiful garden that was once a parking lot? The UC Master Gardners have lovingly un Joanie Mitchelled it (they paved paradise and put up a parking lot) and this once dirt parking lot is now a respite downtown. Spend some quiet time in the sunshine or learn about plants through the descriptive markers and monthly educational workshops. The Central Park Gardens is a delightful place to stroll through or sit and ponder.

    picnic!

    Very large space to relax (and get sunburns). Big enough that you can sit spaced out from people and play music without bothering others. Lots of shade areas and trash cans for remains of picnics. Went during quarantine, not a lot of people wore masks, but kept their distance. Easy parking in the shade and a yogurt shop across the street! I'm planning on coming back to spend time with friends in the summer!

    I've been going to this park for the past 8 years. It has two playgrounds. A great open space for picnics and a nice covered area where they do farmers markets on wednesdays and Saturdays. My favorite is the farmer markets on wednesday during the summer when they have live music and bounce houses for the kids.

    Central Park is a decent park with a lot of variety of play structures however it could use a lot more shade. Play structures covered age ranges from toddler to 7 year olds. We would have notes it more if it wasn't blistering hot outside and everything didn't feel like it would burn your skin.

    Great place to relax and grab a spot of grass in downtown Davis. Good for kids, dogs or just hanging out. Great for events and the farmer's market too. 5 stars park.

    Great little park with fantastic playground for kids of up to about 8 or 9. Lots of really good condition play equipment (2014), good surfaces, nice sandpit with diggers, roundabout and lots of shade. Everything is clean and well kept and local eateries with sticky things for kids to eat. If you are visiting Davis with small kids then this is definitely worth a few hours of your time.

    At the end of the bigger kids play structure, there is a public restroom, which is great and necessary for the kiddos.

It was about 6 hours ago, and I've already talked about it with a friend. This is one of the nicer small parks I've seen anywhere. Anywhere anywhere. It's along the North Davis greenbelt right at the edge of Anderson and F. There's a pier over the Julie Partansky pond and there's a small pond in the middle of a nice grass area with an island in the middle. All sorts of birds frolicked merrily at this quiet park, the most interesting of the lot being a great white egret that I saw perched on the island in the middle of the small pond. There are benches around it and I stopped off to just look at everything. It's a really nice piece of nature tucked between streets where you wouldn't expect something so nice to be. I must have sat in the same spot for ten minutes just staring. Bike here alone and clear your mind from the weights on your shoulders. Take a date here for a walk or a picnic or something. At any rate, I'll be back, alone or not.

There's plenty of room to roam, and it's honestly such a peaceful spot to just exist outside for a while. Now... the only downside is the public restroom situation. The lack of doors is a bold architectural choice -- very "trust fall with society." As a woman, it's a little... unsettling. And the inside? Let's just say it gave strong Silent Hill vibes. Not quite the immersive nature experience I was looking for. That said, the park itself is beautiful and totally worth visiting. Just maybe handle your restroom business before you arrive -- or be prepared for a survival horror side quest.

    Covell Park is a 5 acre park located between W. Covell Blvd and Grande Ave in North East Davis…read more There are plenty of things to do here from running the paved bike trail, walking your fur friend, BBQing, and much more. The grass is green and the trees are trimmed. Its just a peaceful little park. Its very busy in the mornings, kind of dead in the afternoon, but picks up in the late afternoon. A simple short cut for students riding their bikes to DHS or UCD. There is tons of parking around this park. The best places to park is on Del Oro Ave, Baja Ave, and Catalina Dr. Those three places offer the best parking situations for you. There are other places that allow you to park and walk into the park, but parking can get a little tight with residential parking taking up most of the room. You can find those places at Jalisco Pl, Bella Case Ave, Ipanema Pl, Huerta Pl, Cortez Ave, Encina Ave, El Cajon Ave, Faro Ave, Anza Ave and Guaymas Pl. With all those places listed you should be able to find a way into the park. This the park has a total of 12 benches scattered all around so people can sit and enjoy the park. There are also 8 trash can located at different parts of the park to help keep it clean. There are also 2 play structures located inside the park. Pretty modern playground stuff, Swings, slides, different level on the structures itself. There is two tennis courts located by the restroom and water fountian. With two bike racks next to the tennis courts too. Wanting to BBQ, there are two BBQ's in the park, both have picnic tables close to them. As of right 09/25/17, They mow and blow off the walk trails on Thursdays, The tennis courts get blown off on Tuesday, Bathrooms are checked daily but get cleaned on Monday and Fridays. Trash cans get dumped on Mondays and Fridays but are checked daily. On a side note there are two different Geocaches in the park. https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2C9K0_does-davis-have-easy-finds?guid=19ac4629-a86f-4b23-a1a3-c99864b8c5a7 https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCQ6TV_great-experience-cache If you are looking for a fun new game check out Geocaching.com

There's very easy walking access from the surrounding neighborhoods, and I saw a few people taking a stroll and some biking. There are two separate play areas, but they're not super far apart, which makes it easier to supervise the kids. One is more geared for older kids and one for toddlers, although my toddler loved both of them. There are two big kid swings and two little kid swings (again, separate areas). There are wood chips in the play area, no sand. We saw some gardeners doing landscaping as we were there; the park definitely felt like they kept it up well. As for eating, there are two picnic tables and a drinking fountain. There are NO bathrooms. While there were lots of trees, they were not necessarily covering the play structures, just the surrounding grass. I wouldn't come on a hot, sunny afternoon!

The courts are rather new so there are barely any cracks through them! For those that prefer to watch, there are bleachers that line the courts so you can hang out there! I saw tons of people bring their dogs with them so definitely bring your four legged friend with you to enjoy the park. There is a parking lot right by the courts that you can park at to walk around. It's also extremely close to Oakshade Town Center so you can go over there to grab a bite to eat. I haven't gone there when school is in session but on the off days, it is pretty empty and accessible :)
