    The lil kiddie missles, planes and seesaw
    Leilani Q.

    We go to a lot of parks cuz I have 3 littles and this park probably takes the cake! Area looks sketchy but the park and play structures are dope! The little kiddie area [aged 5 and under] is spaceship themed with missle, airplanes and seesaws to ride on. The big kid play area looks like a huge missle and my 11 year old said she had so much fun on the steep slide she screamed on the way down. I love how the kiddie swings has super soft stuff on the bottom in case the kids fall. There are 3 covered picnic areas, a basketball court and this cool place is right behined the aerospace museum. There's a small rock climbing area and a water play area for the hot summer days. The only debbie-downer was the bathroom was closed [it was only 2pm?] and the only alternative was a stanky porto potty.

    I like this park and came on a day when the weather was sunny but cool and it wasn't crowded. Maybe on a hot crowded day, things would be different. Playground looks cook, shaped like a rocket. The slides are tall and fast. There's a small area for wee kids and a splash park area that was closed for the winter. It does look old though so not sure if it's open fo summer. There's a basketball area and tons of grass to run on. Not a lot of shade in the grass area but tons of covered pavilions. Plenty of parking. I didn't go into the restroom to see if it was gross or not.

    I pulled into Freedom Park after picking up a cuban sandwich. A sandwich I happened upon when early to the opening of another shop. I picked this spot to eat lunch .. a sort of picnic, by myself. This park is west of Watt Ave on Freedom Parkway (a road that used to access the former AFB). This park is next to the Aerospace Museum of California. That explains the design of the playground equipment. Back in my day, we had to make our own playground (tire swings, forts from scrap lumber, etc.) The main play structure at this park is BIG and space exploration in theme and design. Picnic tables, benches, grills, and covered group areas. The concrete walkways are wide. The grounds were clean, swept, tidy, and manicured. I saw only one stray human asleep on a bench. I had no idea this park was here. This isn't an area of town I frequent and not sure if, when, or why I might be back.

    Awesome play structure, the slides were so fun!

    This park is so awesome! The playgrounds were amazing and so well taken care of. My boys loved the play equipment, I loved the steep slide! My only issue with this park is the location and people it attracted. We ended up leaving because I could smell weed. Sorry, not ok at a park surrounded by kids. I don't care if you have a script.

    How appropriate that the climber/slides have a "shuttle entrance". The park is right next to the Aerospace Musium of California!

    What a great park this is! It's well laid out with areas that are designed for various ages from toddlers age 2 years old up to senior citizens. It's very handicap accessible with plenty of wide cement sidewalks and picnic areas. The restrooms are also wheelchair accessible with the men's room having 1 of 2 stalls wide enough for a couple of wheelchairs. The woman's restroom is similar with 1 of 3 stalls. Barbecues are sufficient, with each of the smaller pavilions have about 2 or 3 grills and 5 picnic tables. I counted at least 14 grills.There's a covered "stage" for groups who desire an entertainment or presentation area with a large picnic table area in front if it. The park also has a few baseball diamonds with bleachers, a nice size basketball court with cemented seating areas court side. I salute the North Highlands Recreation and Park District for such a fine job in providing the community with such a gem.

    Loved this park great play areas, gazebos, and picnic areas. During summer they even have a little slash zone for the kids which was great. Restrooms near by benches everywhere so you can get a good seat to watch your children. Great park got to check out.

    Amazing jungle gym. One of the best in the surrounding areas. Too bad it's in a sketchy area itself, and little to no shade.

They have a tiny farm there, we saw 2 pigs. More animals available to interact w on Saturdays. Suggested donation $2pp. They take cash there. I thought u needed advanced tickets so bought online but it's really just whoever wants to ride can line up. https://www.svlsrm.org/ Duck pond: tons of duck and geese Water area: part of american river?? Not sure. Can fish there! Playground: With climate change, unpredictable weather, and summers with many days over 100F, would be nice if all parks in the sac area provided shade. This one has shade only over a small set of swings by a picnic area/ by the trains & barn. The main playground had shade near it but no shade over the play structures. Kids going down the slides could get burned- recommend putting up shade to avoid future liability issues. Overall a beautiful park w a good amt of shade, multiple parking lots and multiple picnic areas. Too far for us to come regularly but likely coming back for the train ride during holidays when I think they usually have a Santa there. (You need advance tix for this)

A few chairs are available for owners, plus a little swimming pool filled with water for the dogs. The grass and shade trees make it extra inviting. It's clear this park is very well cared for.

    Gum Ranch Park - Hard to see but there is a big gap between the older kids climbing structure and the rope bridge you have to crawl over to get to slide.

    Our visit was in July 2025 to this cute Fair Oaks park within a small neighborhood. The park has a…read moresmall splash pad, and two playgrounds one for younger and older children. My granddaughter who is 8, loved the splash pad & the younger kids playground. The park is not gated and is adjacent to a walking path. Be careful if you have a little runner. The splash pad has a high water bucket dumping water in different directions. There was only one working water spout for the little kids when we came and the frog sprays water but you have to click the yellow button on the blue pole to make it work once it turns off. The older kids playground she loved the round rope swings but did get rope scrapes on back of both legs from swinging on them so be careful. Next time will use a towel under her legs. The big net play structure is fun if you want to just climb around but to get to the slides there is a big gap between the net structures that you have to go past in order to work your way across the rope bridge then to the slide. She was disappointed she couldn't get over to slides as a big gap she couldn't reach other side safely. Really wish there were rope stairs going straight up to slide area so kids can play on slide that can't do rope structure. The younger kids playground was nice. Multiple climbing structures that included a slide, rope hammock, a turning swing type activity. Parking is along the street only. Park has Drinking fountains and clean bathrooms. There are two picnic table areas. One down by the playgrounds and another by the splash pad.

    Solid kid's park in the Fair Oaks area with a splash pad perfect for kiddos. Would be nice if there…read morewere more splash pad-adjacent toys or interactive components, as well as more shaded structures or overhanging trees, as the summers get crazy hot with exposed grassy areas. There are 2 picnic bench areas where you can settle in with food/supplies, as well as an adjacent bathroom and pickleball court. Large grassy area to run around and a small walking trail as well. There's plenty of room to expand, so hopefully they can add additional amenities moving forward. Plenty of adjacent street parking in the community. Recommended.
