There is no parking but it's the streets are always empty. Everything in this playground is brand new because it was recently remodeled. The clean and well-maintained play structures were a big hit with the kids. Dogs, on the other hand, are welcome here and may occasionally be seen roaming freely. To top it all off, dogs will relieve themselves just about anywhere. Make sure you watch where you step.

If you're only going for a 10-30 minute walk this is an excellent flat park to do that at. One star off b/c I had to pick up 3 other dog's poops. Trash can availablilty is great though!!

Our family loves to visit Matteo's Dream Playground on the weekends. When we moved to the area a…read morecouple of years ago, we explored parks in the general area. 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!

It's a nice park, lots of things for the kids to do. There are 2 mist stations for when it gets…read morewarm (you gotta push the button to activate the mist). 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!

Lastly, the parking lot is limited so you'll either have to get street parking or wait a little. Major red flag: The faucet sink and little shower area do not work.

I've been there 2 weeks in a row and scheduled play dates with other friends, and the water never comes on. If they can provide a way to talk about updates or maintenance, I'll give this five stars.

It's located about a 10 minute or less walk from downtown so a nice place to recharge from the bustle of the courts, cafes and shops in the main hub. Great little locals park.

Well, actually we were drinking some beers from keg cups and really didnt feel like walking past the court house. It was a really good idea on our parts because the day was gorgeous and the park was so calm and nice to walk through. I wish I knew how old it was because it just seems so out of place for here. I would imagine a park looking like this in Savanah Georgia. There is a stage area made of cement probably for random events. I asked my friend if she wanted me to do a show for her and she said,"No thank you!" Oh, well. In the center there is a round about of riverstone benches. I loved it. There are so many little details here. If you ever get a chance to come here, take a look at the Catholic Church kitty-corner to the park. I did the color consulting on the colors that its painted. It looks so beautiful, one of my bragging jobs. This park is incredibly clean I might add. The only thing kind of off putting I saw was some of the neighbors that live around there. I walked away from my friend to go take a picture and a weirdo dude walked immediatley across the street towards me, as if he was coming to talk to me. When I busted out the camera he side stepped away from me. Cameras are the best weapon some times. Or me cussing at you like a sailor works well too. Disregard the riff raff and you are in a pretty cool little niche of Martinez.
