If you love sports than you'll love this park, they have 6 tennis courts, 3 baseball fields and 2 soccer fields!

I would highly recommend this amazing park located in Granite Bay and we are definitely looking forward to exploring more of what they have to offer here! SYOY! :-)

There's lots of high climbing areas, so it could be dangerous for children that aren't very coordinated yet. The park is largely unshaded, so you definitely feel the heat on warmer days.

If there's one thing that gets me motivated, its exploring the open road by foot or bicycle. And…read moreone hidden gem that the city of Roseville offers in none other than the "Miners Ravine Trail". I thought I had seen it all especially doing my fair share of biking/jogging in Sacramento and Folsom. Boy was I wrong! This has got to be one of the nicest and cleanest trails I have ever seen. Those of you that are familiar with Roseville know that its a very large, populated city. And with the 130,000+ inhabitants that reside here, traffic can be a nightmare on any given day. Especially with the retail, commercial, and residential districts that keep its economy flowing. Well for those who wish to escape the craziness of the city, this just might be the solution. The one advantage of this trail is that you have access to the trail at many different points. Since I like to have the full 7.5 mile experience, I like to start out at Royer Park which is off of Douglas Blvd. and close to Downtown Roseville. When starting this part of the trail, you will be greeted by several wildlife such as wild turkeys, birds, horses, and ducks. And the beauty is so amazing, you will actually think you're in a rural area. Throughout the entire stretch of the trail, you will see many flowing creeks that are adjacent to Dry Creek. You will also see a variety of foliage and even glance at the backyard of peoples' homes including a giant barn on the western part of the trail. When you head to the eastern part of the trail, you will see some giant 5,000+ square foot mansions. And the big difference between this trail and the American River trail (which goes from Old Sacramento to Folsom), there are WAY less cyclists which make it way more calm. This trail you will see families with their kids, walkers, and joggers. Since I actually work in Roseville, I have seen several landmarks that I pass through (by car) on a daily basis. And by exploring this trail by bike or foot, it puts things in a much different perspective. On this trail, you will pass directly by Sculpture Park, United Artists Theaters, and Holiday Inn Express, just to name a few. Additionally, there are several benches if you need to take a breather as well as mile markers on the trail. Not to mention, the entire stretch of the trail is paved very smoothly, Overall, this is a great trail that I highly recommend. Do keep in mind that if you plan to jog/bike from west to east (Royer Park to Sierra College Blvd.), most of the trip is uphill. It may not be the longest stretch of trails compared to Sacramento but for the city of Roseville, this is definitely one that I will come to frequently.

I come here often and love the area, but unfortunately we had a car break in. We saw a couple…read moreskulking out of the lot in their car as we returned from our hike... they looked out of place and I'm pretty sure it was the people who had just pulled in that scared them off. We got lucky that nothing was taken, just a bummer to have to replace a window after doing something wholesome like taking our dog to a nature reserve. Otherwise this place is lovely. The trails are well maintained, the bike lanes are in good shape and clearly marked, and the reserve is clean. I love to take the long way around across the high levee because there is a little creek that runs by and it's just so pleasant to listen to as you walk.

Sunrise, a surprise 3.5 miles, and a birthday fitness gift!…read more Took my wife out to Maidu Regional Park for a 3.5-mile walk/hike as part of her birthday fitness gift, and honestly, this place did not disappoint! We got there around 5:45 AM while it was still dark because we really wanted to catch the sunrise. And let me tell you... it was absolutely worth getting up that early! Now, my wife wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of 3.5 miles -- mainly because I may have conveniently left that little detail out beforehand. ‍ She survived though! The trail was well paved, clean, and felt very safe. There's also plenty of parking, and the parking lot was well lit. The actual trail wasn't lit, but honestly, it was so clean and easy to follow that we didn't really need it. I kept my phone handy and used the flashlight from time to time whenever my wife thought she heard something. As the sun started coming up, the whole experience got even better. Definitely a trail I'd like to come back to during the daytime because there's plenty to see and experience. And the timing was perfect. As we were leaving, a baseball team was starting to gear up for the day, which was a pretty cool way to wrap things up. Overall, 5 stars all day! Great place for a morning walk, some exercise, fresh air, and a beautiful sunrise. Two thumbs up! Definitely worth checking out!

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.

Broder Family Homestead Park is a compact, passive park sandwiched between the Harvest subdivision…read moreof homes and Hazel McFarland park in Folsom, CA. Hurray to the City of Folsom Parks and Rec for this great use of the 5 acres. Broder Park preserves the history of the land. A portion of the olive orchard has been kept. The olive trees are still thriving. New fruit trees have been added since the 2020 park opening. The city also planted new vines in the area where the vineyards use to be. Remnants of the original concrete base of the Broder house is preserved and makes for the border of the patch of real grass. The City did its best to salvage material from the Homestead to be used in the park. The park is elevated with gentle sloping walking paths. The elevation makes for some pretty nice views of the surrounding area. The park has walking paths, some or paved and others are sand packed. Both are ADA compliant. There are benches and information boards about the Broder Ranch and activities, the olive orchards and vineyards, and the way folks in this area received water in the late 1800. The info boards are scattered about the different areas. There is a pavilion with picnic benches that is right next to a play area with farm animal statues. The statues are meant to be climbed on. Above that area is a horseshoe pit. Bring your own horseshoes to toss about. The first time I explored this park was when I visited the neighboring park for a Little League game. Since then, I have been back several times minus the Little League games.

It was very clean as well.
