    Gorgeous after the rain.

    Martinez doesn't have much to do in the city. There's schools. There's parks. There's places to eat. There's places to live. I mean sure we got what is it that jail spot or the John Muir place. But it's a nice little city. I don't mind coming here for work or for some new areas to look at. I like coming to this park to relax while the kids I babysit or my brother (depends on the day) go and play. There's a bunch of seating here. Designated picnic areas filled with tables. Not much have shade unless you sit in the area by the play structures. Nice little trails or pathways too! Good for a run or walking your dog. A whole lot of green too. Let's you play fetch with your pet, have a good game of tag, or play a sport like soccer. I haven't seen any defilement of the premises or anything like that. No shady characters either. No one has gotten their car broken into. It's really nice and good for the community. It's right next to a lot of housing, a school, and two other parks. Definitely a treat for the neighborhood!

    We now live close to this park and I'm so glad we do. It's awesome! It's always clean and well maintained. There's a big kids play area and a little kids play area. It takes me 30minutes to just coax my son away from them. My sister comes here with her lab and plays ball. The amount of room for dogs is unprecedented. A few dogs can play ball at the same time and not get into any conflict. I've heard that the trails meet up with Hidden Lakes Park but with my son with me it's hard to go explore. He never wants to stop playing! You can rent out the picnic tables for birthday parties. Which there seems to be one every weekend. So book early. There's also plenty of parking in the private lot or in the street. We love it here. It's a great place for little ones to get their wiggles out and for doggies to get nice and tired.

    A perfect place to throw a birthday party! We came here on a weekday to play and was pleasantly surprised. There are two play structures, one for younger tots and one for the older kids. Swings, seesaw and a huge grassy area for free play. Plenty of shaded area where the picnic benches are and bathrooms are close by. Cleanliness in the picnic area could have been much better but overall I was pleased with the overall tidiness of the park.

    When I was a kid we use to come to this park and play on their huge cement slide, unfortunately the slide is now a faded memory. It is no longer there. When I was in high school it was known as stoner park, I have a feeling it is still known to locals as stoner park. None the less, my daughter and I had fun enjoying the sunshine and fresh air at this park.

    This park has been undergoing major construction for a long time. Right now, it is closed off.

    And the best park award goes to...Children's Wonderland Park! From uniqueness of play structures --…read moreto cleanliness and space -- this park easily takes the cake among others I've been to. And I do not say that lightly. As soon as you enter through the castle doors, you are transported into a mini Disneyland found in Vallejo, CA. As someone who was raised in this city, I did not expect this. This park truly Wow'd me for several reasons. One, the uniqueness of the play structures. There's a handful of them including a tea cup/ tea pot area, train station and train, pirate ship, pumpkin carriage and more. Our personal favorite; the tea cup with the connected slide, so fun!! My family and I easily spent two hours here. You can also book some spots for parties. I highly recommend checking out the GVRD's website. Theres shaded gazebos and many picnic tables. They even have story time and other events here. Theres a parking lot available and hours as well. They are closed on Tuesdays. 100 out of 10 recommend this park.

My kids loved the Dino sand area and honestly so did I. But I wasn't prepared for the water and muddy sand. There's a train play area and then a ship one as well a large generic playground and some additional smaller attractions. Younger kids could easily spend a couple hours playing here.

This park is located right of the 242, its easy to access with lots of parking. The kids get to play in a small scale castle, stores, and boat spaces to keep them entertained. Every time we come here, our older son just runs around until we say it's time to go home. We go for walks in the neighboring park and fields to get some exercise in as well. Check out this park if you're in the Concord/Martinez area to discover something new. They recently updated the fields nearby and parking lot. They have food trucks on the weekends. You will have fun!

Generally it's a nice little playground. A couple of things though, I think I went when it was a little warm, it had this strange smell of either melted crayons or microwaved plastic. Something didn't sit right. The other thing was that I noticed that there were a lot of different trucks driving by (garbage, moving, transport, vans, regular trucks). Maybe people just drive a lot of trucks in the area, I'm not too sure. There's a lot of shade outside of the park but inside could get pretty warm. I'm not sure if I'd come back, but at least I know it's there!

    Given a nice spring sunny day, on a whim we decided to visit Larkey Park in North Walnut Creek. It…read morehad been a long time, and we had forgotten how nice this park is! A nice walking path goes through the good-sized park, offering wonderful views of the lush lawn and large mature trees. A host of families with their young children were enjoying the playground areas, and locals with their canine companions were out too. A few picnic tables are available, or - as one young woman did - just spread out your towel and have lunch on the lawn. After walking for a while we found a bench near the edge of the park and just vegged out soaking up the sun. A swim center and nice pool is here, although it looks like it's only used in the summer for recreational and limited lap swimming - an under-used facility in my mind. Why not year-round lap swimming? Next door is the Lindsay Wildlife Museum, and although it was closed (open Weds-Sun), a young docent had a red tailed hawk with her and was giving a nice educational spiel. There is no dedicated parking - the one negative. Street parking nearby or in the neighborhoods is the only alternative.

However, we did notice a couple of things. The park is pretty decent sized for an urban park. Lots of grass, trees, picnic tables on one side of the street. There is also a public pool (closed while we were there) and an unisex restroom that was reasonably clean. There were individuals, couples and groups of people enjoying the park. In one area were some musicians with guitars and possibly other instruments. We don't know they were there for practice or a class but when we arrived, one person was playing a song that sounded quite good on acoustic guitar. We also saw others who were picnicking with a dog in tow. Everyone was pretty mellow. The dogs didn't bark, and no one was playing excessively loud music. What could make the experience better for us? We didn't fully explore the park so we don't know exactly how large it is but we're always fans of parks with dog play areas. They don't have to be large, but they do need to be clean with running water and some shade. Plus, there should be separate areas for large and small dogs. Beyond that, locals should feel lucky to have such a nice park to relax in.
