This is a community park in Newark. It has big trees and…read morevery shady . I enjoy the morning walk with breeze and sunshine. Many people are enjoying the morning sun ( strollers , wheelchair users, summer campers , basketball players , tennis players etc ) The walking trails are very smooth and pretty landscapes to circle around the park. There are two playgrounds for toddlers and older kids . A dog parks with fence and some dogs slides for fun . A few big dogs are walking around and rest on the lawn . I am lucky enough to capture the hummingbirds and two squirrels running up the tree . There are lots of picnic tables next to BBQ grilled . They have public restrooms. Lots of free parking on the tennis court area and the park entrance area . Everything is so beautiful and I enjoy my leisure walk very much .

Really nice park for children and dogs!…read more They have a good sized dog park with area for small dogs and big dogs. Some climbing structures for the dogs as well. Picnic tables scattered throughout the park, with lots of beautiful trees providing shade over most of the park. There are two adjacent playground areas. One side has a large caterpillar to climb on, along with a dinosaur teeter-totter and baby swings (only, no regular swings) The other side has another big playground structure, along with this rock formation that wraps around it. My kids mainly enjoyed climbing the rock formation that had little 'caves' that they played house in forever! Basketball courts, tennis courts as well. The only awful thing about this park is how absolutely vile the bathrooms smelled, like worse than most porta-potties.

Quick review on my end:…read more [[ Cons ]] 1.) What the hell is up with the slide height? It's like 2-3 feet off the ground. In any case, if you have a young toddler, just make sure you watch them get off the slide because it's just so high off the ground. See picture. [[ Pros ]] 1.) Huge park with ample parking. I felt like it was pretty clean and well-kept overall and it felt super spacious. The Union City BART runs above the park which is cool but loud at the same time. 2.) The trees embedded into the Playground act as natural SHADE. Oh my goodness do I love having shade while my kid is at the playground for 1-2 hours. Felt awesome. 3.) The Golden Gate Bridge play structure was awesome. My kid loved it and probably ran up and down the bridge and the various slides attached to it 100 times. Park is great besides the weird slide disembark heights.

a review from @amom2kidsandapark…read more Who doesn't love a colorful playground? This Union City spot is sure to excite! I was surprised to find this playground just one block away from the impressive Casa Verde park. This park is much smaller in size, but there is still plenty of sidewalk and grass to enjoy along with the playground, picnic tables with bbq, and giant trees. The playground has one tall structure, a climbing tower, and a swing set with standard swings only. The structure has three slides each from a different level, a short sidewinder, a spiral, and a very tall long sidewinder. Connecting each level are colorful plastic steps reminding me of a staircase. There are also basic steps, ladders, bells (that are oddly positioned and hard to ring... you have to wedge your arm through a banister of the staircase), and the cutest little hidden turtles. We spent a good deal of time on the playground but we brought our bikes/ scooters with us this day and it was just the second time with the pedal bike for brother. He was so excited to ride the many well-kept sidewalks that circle the park and connect through for varying routes. Union City has really great bike-friendly parks. On the opposite end of the playground, there is a small ball field. Across the street from the park is an exercise station. This park has no bathrooms or parking lot. Street parking is easy. For closest to playground park on San Andreas Dr. Don't miss the poky trees (and definitely don't fall off your bike/scooter onto them )

It's a beautiful park, but unfortunately, there's no bathroom. You'll have to go to DMV to use one.read more

Located on Lake Elizabeth/Central Park, you can't miss the infamously large cat structure. It is great for children of all ages and offer more than your typical slides and swings. Fossil bones are placed throughout the playground and you may find a set of two of animal footprints hidden. I was kind of skeptical of SP's overall size because I've been fooled a time or two while watching posts on IG and let me confidently confirm any doubt that may linger- the playground is good in size. Come prepared with some shades, water, a hat, and sunblock because there is little to no shade. The heat is no joke but rest assured that there will be more than one ice cream vendor ready and willing to help you cool off. 5/5 stars. This playground is definitely one of our more favorable spots to hit up.

The little ones playground is at one end and the bigger kids' playground is by the basketball court. The little ones playground has swings, some climbing items, slides. There was something you can put the little one and spin in like a chair but my other half said it is really heavy and even hard to spin for him. There was a round swing but it's chained to the ground so I saw no point to that item. The big kids' playground was nice. Looks newer and maintained better than the little ones' playground. It has a lot of climbing parts. It only has one small slide a little one can get onto by climbing stairs. In order to get to the second level that has the slides you have to climb ladders. It's an okay park if you have an older child. So so for a little one. Had more fun looking at squirrels.
