    Beautiful Goose!
    Rachelle P.

    This morning my boyfriend and I stopped in to check out this beautiful park overlooking the water! It was so romantic exchanging kisses and sitting on one of their park benches together as we watched as geese and ducks glided their wings through the water! They also had a nice playground with swings for the children and we enjoyed petting the dogs walking by! I would recommend this beautiful park and we will definitely be back!

    Perfect day for lunch on the go

    Stopped here to have lunch today with my family as we were visiting the area. I've grown up in California but never really traveled within the state. Since the plague hit we have started to do that more. I refuse to eat in the car so found this place on Yelp and it was perfect for what we were looking for. Lots of birds, ducks out and about. Relaxing and quiet place.

    If you're visiting the Sunday Farmer's Market at the Marin Civic Center, I highly recommend stealing away for a little stroll in Lagoon Park. It's really quite spectacular. As the name suggests, the park surrounds a giant lagoon which boasts geese, swans (including black ones!), and other wildlife. I love coming here because it's family-friendly AND dog friendly (as long as they're on leash), picnic tables + benches, BBQs for grilling, and plenty of lawn space for lounging/sunbathing/you name it. The property which is technically part of the Marin County Fairgrounds is always immaculate and beautifully landscaped. I, for one, prefer this area when there aren't large festivals or crowds. But if you are an event planner, you'd be hard pressed to find a better outdoor venue in Marin. So whether you're looking for a place to jog, ride your bike, rollerskate, or just go for a leisurely stroll, put Lagoon Park on your radar. It's truly one of Marin County's unhidden gems that I just don't see enough people taking advantage of.

    Great park, good for dogs and kids. Nice walk, look at the ducks. Watch out for the coyotes and you're OK.

    In the quaint little town of San Anselmo, CA (which happens to be tucked in between San Rafael and…read moreFairfax) lies "Imagination Park". For those that choose to visit, this is a very tiny park with only a couple of benches for sitting. Do not expect to see a playground nor is there even a water fountain or public restroom. And keep the dogs at home as this is not a pet-friendly park. The space itself is equivalent to that of a backyard of a standard house. Located right off of San Anselmo Ave. and tucked right in between Magnolia Ave. and City Hall Ave. in downtown San Anselmo, this park eventually came to life back in June 2013. This idea was spearheaded by film director George Lucas who directed mega blockbuster films such as the entire Star Wars Saga, the Indiana Jones franchise as well as American Graffiti. It is very easy to find as the location itself is just steps away from the San Anselmo Public Library as well as the Town Hall. I came here on a warmer than normal summer day on 7/15/2023 at around 4:10pm. After parking my SUV just a block away, I was awed with the beautiful collection of pink/lavender flowers with the plaque that reads Imagination Park directly above it. But the real treat here is the life-size statues of one of Star Wars most recognizable and beloved characters, "Yoda", And directly on the other side is a statue of Harrison Ford who played "Indiana Jones" in all 5 of the movies spanning from 1981-2023. While you're here, its nice just to let your imagination run wild (hence the name "Imagination" Park) and just appreciate how influential George Lucas is in all of his movies. He actually used to have a residence in San Anselmo before relocating to the more private and open Lucas Valley. So for all you movie fanatics young and old, do yourself a favor and check this place out if you're in the area. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

    Once again, I've warned you my fellow Yelpers and random visitors perusing the Yelp app, don't set…read moreyour expectations too high when it comes to the size of the park. It's situated next to the San Anselmo Library, extremely small and not what you imagined (no pun intended). There are two statues here - Yoda and Indiana Jones, don't expect anything else. Be respectful when visiting this park. It's a lovely hangout spot like one of the Yelpers mentioned, go get some coffee and sit here and reminisce, or do whatever you want to kill time. It's definitely not a park with monkey bars and swings for the kids, so carry on. No hiking and no trails. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood and chillax. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp soon! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/imagination-park-san-anselmo?select=c6MF24JXpCU3GQUUhgfMDQ
