    Only drawback here I found is that there isn't a restroom however Grandma was like... you need to…read moreuse the bano? it's time for us to go! LOL this park is for the people who live in this area so having a restroom isn't their issue. Plenty of areas for the bigger toddlers and the wee ones as well. Not to many people (parents) wearing mask today (we were and so was my 4 year old granddaughter) we were sure to sanitize everything when we got home as there was a lot of people out today kids were well chaperoned. Park was clean and in the wee bit area the swings had the enclosed seat. Respectfully Reviewed

    Elk Grove has so many great parks, but this one definitely has it all! I have a very active 6 and 4…read moreyear old and they are always ecstatic when we go to this park! Even their cousins and friends from their age up to 11 love it. I love that it's so big, open, for the most part clean (the tables could use a good wipe down) and in a great neighborhood. Difficult to lose eyes on your child, even if there are a bunch of kids around. They have a smaller children's playground, bigger children's playground, sand area, sitting zip line, lots of equipment to spin individually or as a group, lots of grass space to run, play, soccer, football, baseball and a basketball court. They also have many tables/seating under awnings for shade, or even in the sun if you want some color. It's a dinosaur themed park as they have Dino footprints on the sidewalk, Dino rockers, and during the summer they even have a small water spray area in the shape of a dinosaur's rib cage. The only downside is the water fountain doesn't work very well and no bathrooms. So make sure your kids go before you get to the park! Other than that, definitely one of my top Elk Grove parks and will be one for many more future play dates!

    I use gym primarily to swim laps and take Aqua Fit classes. I love the ease of reserving lanes…read morethrough the app. There are always lanes and the pool is super! Well, there are 2 pools. One of which is kept at a warmer temp. I prefer swimming laps in cooler pool. You will love the Aqua Fit courses. Frank and Karina, the instructors, give you a great workout-- and it's fun. Everyone goes at their own pace. All welcome! Employees at desk are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this gym.

    I'm very disappointed with how this club treats its swim team members…read more Although we pay both membership fees and swim team fees, swimmers are not allowed to use club towels, spa facilities, or the adult locker room, even when children are accompanied by adults and under supervision. Meanwhile, these amenities are available to other members. This creates a clear sense of inconsistent and unfair treatment toward a specific group of paying members. What is particularly frustrating is that these rules and differences in treatment were not clearly explained at the time of joining or during the sign-up process. Members are not made aware in advance that swimmers may be treated differently or have more restricted access compared to other members. There have also been repeated instances where a female parent has entered the boys' locker room many many times, which raises additional concerns about how locker room access rules are being enforced and managed. I have raised these issues with management, but they have not been addressed in a transparent or satisfactory way. If you are considering joining with children in the swim team, I would strongly recommend asking very specific questions about facility access and how policies are applied before committing.

    I live in the neighborhood and do a lot of walking in Morse Park. This corner lot was a huge…read moreeyesore for years until the vote to build this Core Recreation Center. It is a beautiful large building. I like the little rock climbing outside where the kids can play. There's a cool artwork that lights up at night. We were able to take a tour when there was an open house. It's a two story building. They offered HIIT, Strength, and Yoga. Spacious area for stretching. Weights and other gym equipment. Indoor walking or jogging area. They also offer locker rooms for your stuff and changing room. They have programs for kids as well. We opted not to join. It's huge and beautiful. It's just a little pricier than our gym for two. We thought since our tax dollars went into this program we might get a little of a discount. Negative! Overall, a nice addition to the neighborhood!

    I never used Yelp but I signed up for an account just to leave this review so people know how…read moreretarded this gym management is. Extremely disappointed with this gym. Sunday morning: 30+ people waiting for ONE basketball court, while another full court was reserved for volleyball with just one person using it. This isn't a one-time issue -- it's clear mismanagement of limited space. When dozens of paying members are standing around and an entire court sits basically empty, something is seriously wrong. Scheduling courts by preset sport type instead of actual demand makes zero sense. It leads to overcrowding, frustration, and people walking out. And no, renting a court is not a solution. Members are already paying monthly fees. Being told to pay extra for space that's clearly underused -- especially by a rude staff member -- just makes it worse. Around 11:30 I went to court 3, I saw a lot of people shooting the hoop in 40+ ft up, and that kid was still playing solo there. And the gym still allowed it. What a joke. If you care about actually being able to use the facilities you pay for, think twice before joining.

    Wow, this was my first time visiting this park, and I am genuinely impressed! My family and I came…read morehere on a Sunday evening to wind down and end our day, and it is by far one of the best and cleanest parks in the Elk Grove area. We even came on a windy day, and it was still a wonderful place to be. It is so spacious that it's the perfect spot to fly kites. A few of us were flying kites together, and it was such a relaxing, heartwarming experience. It's incredibly family and dog friendly, super roomy, and has so much going on. Because it's so clean and well maintained, this might just become the park I bring my kids to most often, and it is definitely a top choice for hosting future family events! It is perfect for a workout, sports activities, or just letting the kids play. I love the layout, especially how they designed the two separate grass areas where one sits at a lower elevation, while the other is level with the rest of the park. But honestly, what really blew me away was the restroom. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I'm serious! So many park restrooms are cold, dark, dirty, and lacking privacy. This one felt downright luxurious. It is completely temperature controlled, which was especially nice since it was breezy outside! It was warm, well lit, exceptionally clean, and had absolutely no odor. It even sounded like it had a great ventilation system running. The only minor downside was the lack of toilet seat covers, but that's an easy fix. The entire park feels pretty new with a beautiful, modern design, conveniently located right behind the Sky River Casino. Highly recommend checking it out! Rate: 10/10

There are pickle ball courts and clean large bathrooms which is a must for little kids. The water spouts come in the summer and kids can play all day here. CSD keeps the park nice and clean with everything well maintained. The best part is they have an annual 4th of July viewing at this park where the community comes out in lawn chairs and just hangs out. This is one of the great parks in Elk Grove.
