    I didn't know this existed until we put the oldest into Skating Summer Camp. You can find personal…read moreskate trainers and group classes throughout the year if you look online. The last time I took the kids it looked like so much fun I borrowed my kids tiny board and rode in a skatepark for the first time in 25 years! The park is a perfect mix for beginners and pros, with easy roll ins and gentle humps all the way to bowls, stairs, and gaps. We've been to some other skateparks that have steeper ramps and feel much more closed in, we end up coming back to this one because it's more spacious with plenty of room for everyone. The snake run is really fun for beginners and you can learn to roll in here and ride some banks. The negatives of this skatepark are sometimes people that live in their cars will park out here, there used to be a lady with a full on garden outside of her car and sometimes people will hang out in the grass nearby and smoke weed. Haven't seen it in awhile but we started coming early morning. The closest bathrooms are at the park so a pretty far walk if you need to use them. There is also no shade don't gets hot during summer.

Imma and my friends were attacked, and harassed by the park ranger (also a skateboarder) the ranger kicked my friends car, a dad got furious with rage and ensisted on fighting until we left the park. I don't understand where this hate comes from, we had common skatepark etiquette, as we always do, I was even giving the angry dads son props prior that day. The ranger here is out of control. I was completely dumbfounded by his behavior. As sloppy and unprofessional as it gets. This was over a year ago, and I hear he still works here. FIRE THE RANGER!!!!! 2017*

    I'm realizing more and more how vital it is for one's mental (and physical) health to spend time in…read morenature. During a particularly low day, I was literally craving me some nature. Which makes sense when you're in a concrete urban jungle day in and day out - we just weren't meant to live this way. I literally searched Yelp for a park in the area on my way home, and Lakeshore came up. Tucked away in a residential area, Lakeshore is a small-ish, serene, well-kept park with, as the name implies, a lake being the central point. I strolled on the path for a bit. I'm not sure how long the path is, but it seems like a good spot to get a decent walk in, and there were a few walkers and joggers. After stretching my legs for a bit, I grabbed some bench and watched the birds - geese (these guys are huge!), seagulls, ducks, and crows - hanging out and eyeballing me to determine if I had food. They were so cute. There is nothing that gets me feeling better fast than being around animals. The human animals that passed by were nice as well, with smiles and hellos, how refreshing. I spent some time just sitting and resetting. It was good. I need to do this more. Nice park, enjoyed a much-needed reprieve here, and would return.

    I parked in a neighborhood and after a run around the park, I noticed a small lot. Tons of parking…read moreon a weekday evening. There are a lot of people walking/running around the park and there are half mile markers on the ground. There is a wide variety of geese here, some I've never seen before. Great paved path!

    Another decent park in central Fremont with a large open field and small playground for older…read morechildren. With its many picnic tables and trees offering shaded cover, this is a great spot to host a party or large get together. Although there doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot, it neighbors a school that does have a lot and there are plenty of spots along the street. The road isn't too busy but there are occasional cars that roll through to commute between parts of Fremont. The playground itself boasts a multitude of modalities including climbing structures (rock wall, ladders, stairs, rope), monkey bars/rings, and slides. Based on the height and strength needed for some of the activists, I would say children between the ages of 4 and 12 would have a good time. The flooring is padded rubber so it's easy on the feet and falling children. The play area is surrounded by a raised concrete wall that is just wide enough to be used as a balance beam. Do take care, however, as the flooring outside the barrier is concrete so it isn't the most safe activity area. The field is huge and has large areas for soccer, kickball, soccer and other field sports. The grass is kept pretty short and it's decently maintained. There may be some uneven spots but for the most party, they've been filled. Overall, Blacow Park is conveniently located near schools and shopping malls which makes it a great spot for a quick break, and the size of the space is suitable for a larger gatherings. The field is certainly a highlight due to its vacancy but the playground is great as well due to its variety of activities and being upkept.

    Seemingly small park, we've come a couple times early in the morning and there are locals walking…read morearound. The walkway is quite nice and winds around and through different elevations, its much larger than it looks. Right now mustards are blooming and its very nice, the walkway also brings you to redwoods, etc...At the very far end where the bench is you can proceed onto a dirt path that goes under two huge power line towers like a scene from a movie. There is also a path on the right which leads to the closest connected neighborhood. The kids and I like this walkway a lot and enjoy it more than the standard injection molded playset. No parking lot, you can park at the school next to it or the street. Best to come early morning to avoid the crowds. We like coming here over the playgrounds at Central Park since its less crowded.
