I absolutely love this park! I took my toddler here to burn some energy and she had a blast at both the little kid section and the 5&up sections of the park. I love the little play creatures like the ladybug and the goat salamander. The water pad will be amazing when it's open in the summer! I'm looking forward to future visits! read more

Magnolia Park - Magnolia park is very imaginative and fun. - Parks Near Me - Vacaville, California

My little one and her cousins really enjoyed visiting this park throughout the summer. It was a nice way for them to beat the heat while enjoying themselves. Magnolia Park is still newer, so of course it looks beautiful and well-kept. There are covered bench and table areas to enjoy a picnic or even throw a party. Those, unfortunately, are the only shaded areas at the park. Given how hot Vacaville can get, this is quite disappointing. The dining areas are fairly clean, for the most part. We will, unfortunately, always have individuals who will not clean up after themselves though. In regard to play areas, there are a couple areas where both big kids and little ones can enjoy. The jungle gym areas have bark to help soften kids' falls. I'm personally not a fan of the bark, since it gets in shoes, cause splinters, and what not. Thankfully, other areas have a thicker rubber covering the ground. There is also a water station where kids can play and enjoy playing in the cool water. This was a huge hit for many of the kids (and adults with their children) during the summer. read more

Beautiful Park. Lots of things for the children to do. The weather was beautiful. Little windy but beautiful. It was a beautiful family gathering celebrating the 30 year death anniversary of my brother. We will be back to this park for another family reunion read more

Cute little park to take your dogs for a walk okay basketball or kids to play, the plus is they have a water feature for the warm summer days. read more

Very good day! And a very good one too and a good one too very good my baby boy loves the park!

Clean, very well kept up and just a nice place to have your event. Also plenty of picnic table space with shade.

The park is probably the best around. My niece thoroughly enjoyed herself in the splash pad area & park its self. I really like hit there's covered C areas as Vacaville can get really hot. Area is well kept. read more

Nice big park. New. We went with 2 little ones and boy were we disappointed at the splash pad. 3 water flowers that barely worked and def not enough water to splash. Clean park though. read more

Awesome Park for little ones, the water feature is great for those very hot days or for children to love to play in water. Downside to this park is theres not too much shade protecting the play structure so things get very hot very quickly. Definitely want to check out more playgrounds with my family after going to this awesome one read more

Magnolia Park - Parks Near Me - Vacaville, California

Beautiful park very clean my kids had so much fun here we enjoyed our time here I recommend this park

Beautiful park. Nice and clean and the bathroom was stocked with tissue and seat cover and hand soap.

I love this park! It's super close to my home. It's always clean & a lot of my neighbors come here as well. It's fairly new, only a few years old, so the kids play Area is very well maintained so far. I've also used this park to attend community talks as well. It's a perfect spot for those type of events since the park itself never gets too crowded. read more

Clean. Nice Equipment. Very Little Shade. This park seems relatively new, so please don't come expecting to find shady spots to lounge around. In 15 years, when the trees on-site have grown and expanded, this park will be a shady haven; not so right now, though. The amenities at the park, though, do already warrant making a stop. The play equipment is awesome, there are basketball courts and large grassy areas, and there's even a splash-zone water feature. The park seemed well manicured and very clean. All in all, we would definitely come back again! read more

Great park, fun for the kids, love the water feature, needs more shade. The kids will have fun, but be sure to pack some sunscreen when you visit on hot days!! read more

This park was very beautiful. Everything is well kept. Bathrooms were nice. Was windy not sure if that was just the day we were there or because the location, very pleased with the park. read more

Very nice park with splash pad area. I've bbq'd here and brought the kids to play at park and in the water. Located in a nice neighborhood.

Security or regulation is needed during the summer months on the weekend. I don't know any mother that is down with marajuana smoke & vulgar rap all around while their kids play. However, during the week, this park has been AWESOME. I really do hope the splash pad area is fixed by next summer because the soft flooring is ripped up in some areas. read more

Beautiful park to bring your family and just love life. Park is very diverse in age and very colorful. Open space, baseball area, basketball court and play area for all ages under 10. 3 Gazebos for bbq and two areas without the gazebo. Nice park and my favorite. read more

Very nice park with a clean bathroom and bathroom stalls! Since it's a brand new park, there is no shade. The park also does not allow jumper rentals due to the many complaints on how loud the generator gets, at least that's what they told me when I reserved a spot. They also mentioned how there are no outlets, I couldn't even use a bubble machine, but I seen that the outlets were covered and locked. There is a small splash pad area for toddlers. I am assuming they only turn it on when it is over 85 degrees. There's been a few days where Vacaville has hit over 80 degrees and they still don't turn on the splash pad. The tables are fairly large for parties, however the tables are not solid. The chafing dishes didn't hold very well. There is limited parking in the parking area, you can park on the streets if needed. read more

Very clean & tidy place, the grass is beautiful & the bbq pits are the cherry on top , I had a wonderful time there with all my friends ! There is also trash bins available to the public for after party clean ups & the bathroom is located in the center of the park, overall great design for a neighborhood park. read more

This park is great, but it's always windy and has no shade near the playground. I love that my Little Bear can go on the big playground and the little playground. I'm guessing that the little playground is appropriate for ages 18mo+ and the big one he started on as an adventurous 2.5yr old, but he's a brave little guy. We've never used the splash pad because we go in the morning when it's cool and breezy, but the idea of it sounds amazing. The big green swing is a huge hit with my boys. I love that there's a big grassy area for catch, soccer, frisbee and more. Also, the bathrooms have always been clean and stocked when we were there. There's also garbage cans and a covered picnic area off to the side of the park. read more

This is our first time here and it's a very nice, BIG, and clean park! We were hoping the water would be on but it's ok the kids are having a blast anyways! They have bathrooms, a baseball field, basketball courts and grills! We'll definitely be back again! read more

Magnolia Park - Parks Near Me - Vacaville, California

Kiddos love the park!!!its very big it would be a nice place to have a birthday party to!!

One of the nicest neighborhood parks in Vacaville, of course because it's the newest one. :) There are main two play structures, one of older kids and one for younger. Two different swing areas, splash park (under construction), benches, basketball court, covered picnic tables, and the best part, bathrooms!! Gotta love it when a neighborhood park has bathrooms so you don't have to worry about trying to rush home for your little ones! Love the grassy areas around the park as well. Really hope they do well with the upkeep with this one. FYI: the parking lot is one way. Entrance is NOT off Vanden, which I quickly learned my first time here :p Been here a couple times already and noticed in the morning that lots of SAHMs come out and congregate here, especially military spouses. read more

Nice park for all ages. Cool when it has the water going. Clean and safe. Just no shade anywhere on the playground.

Amazing park, beautiful and lots of fun for kiddos! Plenty of space to run and safe for toddlers and up!

This is a family friendly, shaded picnic area park with fire pits that's great for a days play, a BQQ or a party. Love it!

Awesome park my daughter loves this park good place to play in the splash area or the play ground

On July 15th I threw my baby shower at the large gazebo. It definitely had enough seating I believe there are 8 long table benches and plenty of shade the park is extremely clean and great for parties. All the children that attended my shower had plenty of room to run and love playing on the playgrounds. They also love the water area. And it's a plus that the park shares a fence with the fire department I definitely recommend this as a great place to throw a party or just enjoy the day with your children. read more

Wish the splash pads were functional. Lawn well maintained. Basketball court was great. Water from water fountain was clean and cold. Overall great family park. Not much shade and people spread out of the three or four tables under the awning. Still good park to visit and enjoy. read more

We are from outta town and this park was definitely a breath of fresh air. Clean, a lot of police presence and my kids loved the water area.

Beautiful park with new(ish) equipment. It's just too bad there are so many people from out of the area coming on the weekends and taking over with their kids' parties. If you plan to have a party here, you may want to come and reserve a spot before sunrise. read more

Love this park. By far the newest, cleanest park near Vacaville. Pros: a huge grassy area for sports, etc, fun/unique playground equipment, and public restrooms close by. Cons: not enough swings. I also wish the splash pads would work, but I contacted Vacaville Parks & Rec and they can only turn them on with approval from the state because of the current drought. Don't think they will be on this season. read more

Love this park! My dog got a tick last time we went there just a heads up. Still going back tho, just with better flea and tick protection. I never know when the splash pad is open tho. read more

Very nice park for families. It is still a work in progress as the houses develop in that area. Great for toddlers to play in. New equipment & nice shaded areas for parents. The splash park looks like it is fun for kids and it has a nice path to bike or fly a kit. We will definitely be coming back to play again. read more

It's a wonderful park. Nice playground, splash pad under construction, bathrooms almost finished. Kids love this place. Lots of benches, bbq pits ant picnic tables read more

Enjoyed this park and the parents there! Loved the water play area. Park was clean. Did not get to use stalls yet.
