Someone tried to enter…read morewith a golden retriever, who clearly is over the 20 pound limit, and my dog got excited and wanted to greet the dog, as did a lot of other dogs. I was on the grass cleaning up my dog's poo and as I was walking back I saw a man try to kick my dog. This man also has a dog that is over the size limit for the small dog park. Obviously, I called out this man for trying to kick my dog and was told by someone else that they don't really follow the small size limit (clearly posted on the fence), it's more on temperament. This man then tried to get everybody to agree that my dog was aggressively barking, but I didn't hear anyone jump on his band wagon. I have seen both the golden retriever and this other man's dog at the park before. About two weeks prior the golden retriever was involved in an incident with a French bulldog. My dog is not an aggressive dog at all. There isn't an ounce of alpha dog in him. He likes to greet the dogs when they come in the park and in this case, there were four or five other dogs also greeting this golden retriever. I don't know why it was my dog this man had a problem with. Anyone who tries to kick a dog who is in no way in any type of confrontation, fight, conflict, harming another dog can't be trusted.

Alright here's the deal. This parks a little run down, but it mostly seems like people and…read moremaintenance issues. The neighborhood itself seems fine, but there seemed to be people treating it on the e pescadero side as a park & ride. Men standing around waiting for people to pick them up, and a questionable transaction happening where someone was buying goods from a car that rolled up to meet them. Apart from that, the provided dog poop bags were empty and probably haven't been filled in quite some time. There seemed to unusual amounts of cat and/or dog poop in the lawn and even on the sidewalk in two separate places. This didn't make it a very welcoming park for our family. All that aside, we opted to keep the soccer ball in the car and just play on the play structures and swings. The play structure itself was in good shape for its age, and had some fun interesting features to it. There's lots of shades along the walking paths and around the picnic areas, which is a nice feature also. We ended up leaving because someone on a bike showed up and sat down at the picnic tables to smoke. We were downwind of it, and I don't want that in my kids lungs. The park could benefit from some better signage for the rules (no smoking!) I know the city has this one up for talks for a remodel, I hope they can do some things to deter all the men from using the park as a place for dealing, smoking, ect. And make it more family friendly. I don't think I'd come here without my husband given the things we've witnessed. This neighborhood deserves a clean, safe place to play with their kiddos!

"Scary Alligator (or was it a Crocodile?)"…read more This open space and trail is part of the East Bay Park system. It is definitely NOT the crown jewel of their park system. For a long time, it was just a dirty old parking lot and a poorly maintained trail. The big old parking lot is still there, but there are some nice additions behind that area. There's a good-sized parking lot off Tassajara. From this point, the park really doesn't look like much. Well, you're about half right. There is a trail that leads out of the park, and if you go left you join up with another paved trail, sort of like the Iron Horse Trail. This trail is well maintained and looks quite new. If you take the trail out of the rear parking lot and go right, a trail continues next to the US government property for about a half mile or so, then just sort of peters out. There seems to be a homeless person living near this area, next to the creek, close to the US government fencing. I started to go underneath a big oak tree, then spotted some strange looking pieces of trash. I did not go any further. There is a new, well-designed bridge crossing over the creek. Believe it or not, the bridge is actually a site worth seeing--beautiful woodwork along the top edges of the bridge. You can see the giant concrete pieces from an old bridge. If anyone has a photo of the old bridge, please post. The only photo I have shows it in big pieces. There aren't many facilities in this park. There is a big outhouse in the dirt parking lot. That's about it. Oh yes, here's the rest of the story: Near the old parking lot, there are some wood piles. One big log looks like an alligator snout. I admit I jumped when I first saw it. Then, I realized that this area probably doesn't have many alligators. A friend of mine explains that seeing animals in nature is a sign of spiritual wisdom. I'm sure he's right. Check out the alligator photo I posted. Scary, huh?

There is one…read morehere at Verner Hanson Park, another one at John Erb Park, and the last one at Marlow Brothers Park. Although the goals here do not match (i.e., the north goal has a double-rim while the other has a single one), it is still a good place to play ball. Since we play on all three courts, we do our part in sponsoring the nets whenever they get ripped. Sometimes, the coach that runs scrimmages over here does his share, too. This park also has plenty of greens, a small play area, and a horseshoes sandbox. There is a modest amount of tables and benches with one area lying underneath the shade. The nearest restroom would probably be northwest over at the Tracy Sports Complex. A number of mature trees should have been planted near the basketball court to provide some shade during the hot summer months and to tame the wind when it is blowing hard. Having a full-court in such an open area makes it quite impossible to play when the elements are in full swing. Nevertheless, nothing beats coming out and having some fun outdoors...
