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.

From slides, swings and rocking climbing area, this area for sure will tire out the little ones! Great place to go have a picnic as well!

Came here during a week day and to be expected, it was empty and not a soul was to be found, which…read moreI didn't mind one bit. The park is very large and plenty of grassy field area to run around prolly in. There is also a basketball hoop court, which is great for those who play! Plenty of benches around and trees for shade. The play structure area, is large as well, but some parts I noticed weren't that safe, there were no baby/infant swings and no bathrooms! The park is located in a really nice neighborhood and could only imagine how busy it could get on the weekends or really nice spring or summer days. Parking here is pretty good during the week, as most people are at work but during the weekend it might be a little tricky. The park is clean and looks to be up kept. The park is located next to a sewer of some sort because occasionally there were nasty odors. Would I come back? Perhaps. But not my favorite park. I've seen better!

a review from @amom2kidsandapark…read more It was hot today and this park seemed like the perfect destination...sea breeze, amiright? No. No, I'm wrong. There's a large man-made hill between the park and the shore blocking any and all "sea breeze". With zero to no shade over the structure, it's safe to say we didn't stay here long. The park is pretty large with two ball fields and plenty of grass in between (no permanent outfield boards so it's essentially a huge open field with some dirt and a backstop on either corner). The entire park has paved sidewalks all around, especially near the playground where the sidewalks weave in and out of picnic tables and a man-made grove of small/someday giving shade trees. That's one thing this park really has going for it, there's a lot of trees. The play structure is in a circle format with bridges or a crawl tunnel connecting platform to platform. This format really allows for younger children not yet ready for the suspended lily pads or monkey bars to have fun and enjoy the entire structure. There are three slides (sidewinder, tube, double), steps, various ladders, activities, and the before mentioned crawl tube that can almost act as a fourth slide because of the angle. No swings or playground extras. While there is a parking lot and bathroom it couldn't be any farther from the playground. We parked on Point Lobos Ct which is much closer to the playground but we still had to walk a few minutes to get to the playground since it's tucked in the back corner. This park is great for biking and scootering or even stroller walks since it has a lot of long sidewalks.

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!

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

Located within the Union Flats residential housing, this place was quiet and deserted on a Saturday evening. Street parking was easy to find right in front. Curious about this pyramid, I gave it a try, but didn't make it to the top cuz my fear of heights kicked in. It's much bigger than it looks in photos and has lots of hollow areas (with no rope) in the middle... I wasn't THAT eager to get to the top. Thankfully the gated "playground" has softer spongy rubberlike turf (not concrete) below, in case of falls. Lots of benches inside and outside of the gated area, but no tables nor grass for picnicking, so it's not that kinda park. Not much else to do around here (unless you're trying to catch BART).

You have to pay to park during the weekdays, but parking is free over the weekend. Definitely not for those who have a fear of heights, but it has climbing areas for all comfort levels.

Overall, fun way to get some energy out and get some pics for the Gram.

There's also a pull Ip bar, sit up bench, and ladders for more body weight training. Playground has a couple swings, a tire swing, a wooden bridge, some steering wheels, and a slide. Not all too interesting for older kids and the wooden platforms make it seem not too sturdy or safe for younger children. There's a half court basketball area and open green and seems to be pretty quiet most of the time. Overall, it's decent, however, it doesn't look to be well maintained and their playground structure still had some old weathered wood platforms. If you're in the area, it's not a bad place to stop by but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

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.
