Beautiful local park in Fair Oaks where they host the chicken festival as well as several other local festivals during the year. Well maintained with clean lawns, large grassy areas, a few play structures for the kids, and BBQ pits that are free to use. Parking isn't too bad during the regular week but can get challenging during busy events - many people end up having to park across the street or in the neighboring areas. Playing fields are well maintained and host evening softball/baseball leagues during the week, as well as other recreational leagues and sports. Great place to walk your dog or take your family out on a stroll. read more

This park is nice and family friendly. I've been a couple of times because this park hosts some softball tournaments. There's not much shade for spectators so I recommend you bring a pop up tent or an umbrella. There is some shade provided by the trees which I've seen many people take advantage of whether they are lounging on a blanket or in a chair, either way, it's nice! I've seen some older folks have parties at the park across the softball fields. There's bathrooms and plenty of parking. read more

Pretty decent park, bathrooms, play area, 1 basketball hoop, couple of baseball fields and same lot dang near as the public library. Came to shoot some hoops, concrete is all I level but hoop is intact and good for just messing around, not really to play serious game on. Plenty of shaded areas to picnic too, and pretty clean. read more

You've probably driven by this park too many times to count on Madison. You can see the playground peeping out from the road. It is tucked behind the library. There is lots of parking, open grass areas, baseball fields, playground, and bathrooms. The playground was a big hit. Multiple slides, swings, and monkey bars. There are tables spread throughout the park as well. Lots of shady areas. Recommend. read more

Beautiful grounds and wide-open spaces to sit and watch local baseball games or to have lunch at one of the parks' many picnic tables. It feels safe at the park, as long as you're there during daylight hours. read more

This is a large park with a big field, perfect for walking your dog and just exploring nature and all it has to offer! My toddler enjoyed the swings and slides on the playground with a friend from church despite it being a bit nippy out! I would recommend checking out this park, which also happens to hold the Easter Eggstravaganza each year with free and low cost activities for families! And a Pancake Breakfast hosted by the Fair Oaks Lion's Club in the McMillan Center! My toddler had a lot of fun, I hope to take her next year, as well as check out other events hosted here at the park! read more

One of my favorite local parks and it's right by the library! My only complaint is the homeless population. Lots of shade and places to sit! The ground is turf which we love! Especially because grandma is in a wheelchair! It allows for a more inclusive setting. It does need a little touch up though. We love the swings and how they are separated from infant to older kids. The structure is full of bridges, things to climb and slides. I love how the railing is enclosed with thin bars, so kiddos don't fall out as easily. Not much for sensory exploration on the structure itself, but they do have one spinning tic tac toe game. We love the sand area and the rocking horses in it. It's fun to shovel or bring water. Our son really seemed to enjoy the bouncy bridge, although guidance was needed. There is also a baseball field and skate park! read more

This park is fun for the kids! There's a sand area for digging and riding bouncing horses, slides, swings, and a bouncy bridge. The park is surrounded by the Fair Oaks Library, which is nice, a soccer field, and a baseball field. Parking gets crazy on Saturdays! It's a great place for kids to play. On nice weather there always seems to be a birthday party because of the space and it's a nice area. During the summer there are events. Overall, I'd go back. It's nice to have the library and park near each other. I will be bringing my whistle (teacher-mode) next time. I'll compete with the soccer coaches. Maybe then they'll notice their other kids they left behind. *Beware: during game season, parents leave their kids unattended at this park. This is both terrifying for me, as well as the fact that kids were swearing near littles and hitting each other with sticks. Please watch your children! read more

Brought our 2 year old grandson for some playtime. He loved the play structure especially the bridge. Slides were a hit as were the swings, and the rocking animals. Sand is always fun to play in and lots of grass to run around on with grandpa. I loved that the bathrooms were close by too. read more

This park is average but good enough to get the kids out running, swinging and climbing trees. There is a decent amount of open space to play catch, play tag or just lay out a blanket and have a picnic. There are BBQ pits and some tables and benches. There is also a decent play structure and a huge litter box. Wait! Did I just say litter box? I meant to say sand box. It's all how you look at it and in this case... What you find in it. No metal detector needed to find a little treasure. I've always tried to steer my kids away from sandboxes. So although its nothing out of this world I'm a fan of the park. read more

I really love the trees and the way they utilize the space here. Kids love the llaygorund.. toddler friendly playground. read more

This park is big. They have a good sized picnic area, lots if trees, a play structure and sand, bathrooms, soccer field and baseball diamonds. Pretty much everything you need to have fun at the park. I've always been able to find a parking space and its right next to the library, making it a complete day with my daughter. I give it 3 stars because I've never been here without seeing really strange people hanging around. I suppose they could just be enjoying the park, but I get irritated when a person smokes or hangs around a kids play structure just leering at the kids. It's off putting. I wish they had a bigger security presence here. I'd feel better. So, a good park, i just wish I wasn't worried about the shady characters. read more

I love this park and have grown up spending time here. However, parents of little tots should be aware that there's about a 6 foot drop on one side of the playground equipment (a fireman's pole is there). The park is technically only for five and older but I know there are a lot of parents like myself who go there with smaller children and this is quite a drop for a 3 year old. read more

They poured concrete over the sandbox, to the huge disappointment of tons of kids. Hilariously some kids have started a mud/dirt hole next to where the sand box used to be. This used to be the best park around and now it's just mediocre. read more

The pictures of the chicken above are wrong. This is fair oaks park, not fair oaks village parks

This is a rather large park, it tend to be busy on the weekend there is always something going on like either a birthday party or baseball game. The play ground is nice with about 4 different slides, 2 bridges, 2 different sets of swing for toddlers and big kids, a large sandbox and plenty of grass for running around. They have a large picnic area and one (that I believe you must rent) has a built in barbecue. This park also has a nice soccer field, baseball field and a skate park. Parking can be hard sometimes if there is a lot of things happening here, but other than that it is a very fun park to come to. read more

Great park to watch or play a game of softball! This large park can accommodate several games at once. There is lots of lawn space to walk your dog, a good size playground to exercise your kid & bathrooms. Be sure to leave at sunset as alot of teenagers like to come here to get their drink on. Overall I give it a B+. read more

Great park to stretch and grab a cup of coffee prior to heading to the American river trails.

We love this park. I give it four stars instead of five simply because one of the slides is boarded off. It looks like some set it on fire. Such a shame that someone vandalized an area intended for children to play and have fun. read more
