Really nice park for children and dogs!…read more They have a good sized dog park with area for small dogs and big dogs. Some climbing structures for the dogs as well. Picnic tables scattered throughout the park, with lots of beautiful trees providing shade over most of the park. There are two adjacent playground areas. One side has a large caterpillar to climb on, along with a dinosaur teeter-totter and baby swings (only, no regular swings) The other side has another big playground structure, along with this rock formation that wraps around it. My kids mainly enjoyed climbing the rock formation that had little 'caves' that they played house in forever! Basketball courts, tennis courts as well. The only awful thing about this park is how absolutely vile the bathrooms smelled, like worse than most porta-potties.

This is a nice local park to go to. I happen to not come here for a long time even though that it's…read morevery close to where I live. The park has improved over the years since they added bleachers at the parking lot as well as renovating the playgrounds. It's not really a big park but it's convenient for those who live really close to it. They have a building called Irvington Community Center, which I think is a place for children's activities. There is another building which is small. I think it was supposed to be a library, but is recently closed. Right next to it is the ballot drop box, where I usually go to drop my ballot envelope. Nothing much changed overall but it's good to reminisce the memories I have going here when I was a kid.

Clean, family-friendly, and a nice spot to unwind or get moving.

We found this when cruising neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights with our kids. We saw a huge thing with lights on it from a distance and just drove towards it until we found this massive tree covered in lights. Park also has some other christmas decorations but the tree on the corner is by far the coolest. It's so big even from far away I couldn't get a picture of the whole thing. Check it out while it's up! Cool local find for fremont people and makes for an awesome "slowly scrolling up" IG story or Tiktok.

It's very clean and well kept. During the holiday season, there are lights up nearby the pool, gazebo, and the very tall, iconic tree is adorned with lovely lights. It amazes me how they get up all the lights so high and it's a real delight to see at night!

This park is thoughtfully designed for children of all abilities. There's a soft play area for…read morebabies and toddlers, adaptive swings for kids in wheelchairs, and the entire playground is fenced for safety. The roundabout parking prioritizes disabled spots which is a smart and inclusive touch. There are shaded quiet areas, picnic tables for snacks or lunch, and a small free library (though it had little to no books when we visited). The bathrooms are high-tech with audio instructions and a 10-minute limit, but cleanliness was an issue as with most public spaces. Both women's restrooms had toilet seats up with pee on them, no seat covers, and people didn't seem to follow the gender signs. Overall, a great park with good intentions. Shoutout to Make-A-Wish and HARD for creating a space all kids can enjoy.

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.

A review from amom2kidsandapark.com…read more Located in a neighborhood just off of Mission Blvd in Fremont is simple yet packed with fun park. The two story structure has two slides (a sidewinder and a tunnel) from the top story (only accessible by ladder) and a small double side from the lower level perfect for the smaller kiddos. There are plenty of chances for climbing on various ladders and the sphere just off to the side of the structure. My kiddos particularly liked the caged over hang from the top story and throwing a ball up the ladder. I gotta get a ball. They had the best time playing with a ball on the structure. Who woulda known. Close by is a standard swing only swing set and on the other side of the hilly grass center is a full basketball court. Hilly grass=no kick ball Across the residential street we found a little free library with lots and lots of books! It was a great add to our outing. No bathrooms.

Located on Lake Elizabeth/Central Park, you can't miss the infamously large cat structure. It is great for children of all ages and offer more than your typical slides and swings. Fossil bones are placed throughout the playground and you may find a set of two of animal footprints hidden. I was kind of skeptical of SP's overall size because I've been fooled a time or two while watching posts on IG and let me confidently confirm any doubt that may linger- the playground is good in size. Come prepared with some shades, water, a hat, and sunblock because there is little to no shade. The heat is no joke but rest assured that there will be more than one ice cream vendor ready and willing to help you cool off. 5/5 stars. This playground is definitely one of our more favorable spots to hit up.

Which makes sense when you're in a concrete urban jungle day in and day out - we just weren't meant to live this way. I literally searched Yelp for a park in the area on my way home, and Lakeshore came up. Tucked away in a residential area, Lakeshore is a small-ish, serene, well-kept park with, as the name implies, a lake being the central point. I strolled on the path for a bit. I'm not sure how long the path is, but it seems like a good spot to get a decent walk in, and there were a few walkers and joggers. After stretching my legs for a bit, I grabbed some bench and watched the birds - geese (these guys are huge!), seagulls, ducks, and crows - hanging out and eyeballing me to determine if I had food. They were so cute. There is nothing that gets me feeling better fast than being around animals. The human animals that passed by were nice as well, with smiles and hellos, how refreshing. I spent some time just sitting and resetting. It was good. I need to do this more. Nice park, enjoyed a much-needed reprieve here, and would return.
