The new construction reminds me of the older one but it's a lot safer now. Some things to keep in mind is there is not a lot of shade. There is a gazebo with 4 picnic benches in the shade but other than that there are no sunshades. Also, when the temperature is hot outside the play structure gets very hot.

Only bummer is no baby swings. Soccer field for dogs or children to run around or kick a ball. There was also baseball fields, hockey court, tennis court, although they might be locked up. It's something to look into through the city. There a pretty big picnic area for parties. I think I may have seen bbq's as well. Although I didn't see a bathroom but there might be I just wasn't looking for one. I did see a homeless man where the picnic tables were. Just keep a close eye on your children. He wasn't bothering anyone, very quiet and to himself. You can never be too cautious though.

The parking lot is a pretty decent size and so we were still able to get parking. There are two parks, one on each side of the parking lot. Each side has shade coverings which was great. It was about 80 degrees when we were there and the shade allowed us to enjoy being outside. On one side there is a climbing structure and slide. On the water side there was a more advanced climbing structure, swings and a smaller climbing area with the swings. All in all, we definitely enjoyed the park and all it had to offer. It was very clean as well.

Adj: Hilltop Handy Family Park with a Happy View…read more This is one of Folsom's hidden gems in our books. We visit Folsom to meet friends and to explore and do nature-type activities as well as shopping and discovered Handy Family Park on one occasion. Handy Family Park is apparently one of Folsom's most elevated parks. Set on a hilltop, it's a lovely neighborhood park. Though it's smaller compared to regional parks, it's actually pretty big, it's just that it's atop a hill so not all of the space is usable for sports courts, but all of it is scenic and most of it is recreational space. You can reach this park by taking the E. Bidwell exit on Hwy 50, and then it's a really quick drive past the Costco and the In-N-Out, then take Scholar Way, and it's at 1560 Cavitt Dr. You can't walk directly into the park from the parking lot b/c you have to go UP to the top of the "hill", so you can either take the stairs or there's a longer path/ramp for ADA accessibility. Thankfully, the bathrooms are at the start of the park/bottom of the stairs so those who need to use the restrooms can get to them without going into the park. Once you climb up, you're rewarded with an amazing overlook of several neighborhoods and the rolling hills of Folsom. I've only been here in the daytime, but I imagine that it'd be extra beautiful after dark when the lights shine and sparkle all over for a night view. The park offers a lighted baseball field, a huge soccer field, a basketball court, open fields for free recreation, and multiple walking pathways that wind around for a nice stroll throughout the park while you get a nice panoramic view no matter which way you look. In addition to the amenities above, there's a barbecue with a couple of picnic tables under a covered pavilion at the edge of the hilltop so it's really a nice place for a picnic or little party. There's also a couple of kids play structure (one for bigger kids and one for the littles). My kids enjoyed playing here and running around when they were younger, but we still like coming here whenever we're in Folsom b/c Handy Family Park got such a scenic view and it's usually not too crowded. It is always a great place to bring our own picnic and hang out as a family in "nature" not too far from all the conveniences of civilization.

Hope it helps! Entrance is accessible from Greenback Ln with $10 fee required per vehicle. 2 Parking lots available - 1 closer to boat launch area and another further lot that's more convenient for picnic areas and tables. Plenty of tables and area for lots of families to enjoy some water festivities! Have a big party or just want to lock down a few tables? Highly advise to come early. If you just need some space to place your mats down, it should be just fine. Incredible trails alongside the water for walking, jogging, and bike riding. Dogs are welcome but just make sure you pick up after them (I noticed a good number of dog poop near the water edge). Want to take a dip? Feel free! Quite cold but more than welcome to. Biggest reason why we came here? To see how the Kayak Rental system worked. Scan the QR code or visit the site to book your rentals and sign waivers. I was told they rented daily by a worker (young ones) but their online reservations just show weekends and random Wednesdays.. so good luck. Honestly Rental prices are higher than another spot we've been to, but this spot was much closer to home and easier to access. Price for convenience! We didn't go kayaking on this particular day but definitely plan to return with our own paddle board/Kayaks since it just makes sense to invest and go whenever we want versus rent a few kayaks with high rental feels. Who wants to return within 1 hr?! No way, you gotta stay out in the midst of nature for at LEAST a few hours! Pathway Tip: Walking or jogging? Stay on your left. Biking? Stay on your right. Standard Placer County rules. Great spot for families whether you want to picnic, swim, paddleboard, kayak, go for a nice walk, jog, or bike along gorgeous river waters scenery. Have fun!!

Now fair warning... that water is COLD cold when you first step in but once you're out there it's worth it. Even the ducks were just cruising around being friendly and minding their business. Sometimes you don't need much, just a board, some fresh air, and a little quiet.

I lost my keys, had my puppies loaded in truck and was aimlessly trying to find key fob for about 20 min.

Aside from the heroics of him finding the keys, he has a great presence at the park and helped/spoke to a few other people that same morning. Thanks Dennis!

Good (12) Pickleball Courts but they have exploded in popularity and you have to wait a long time or play later and later now. If it was just me, I'd wait later to play or go on off hours but friends rather go at certain times. Folsom should build more.

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.
