There is a separate men and women's restroom but they are not entirely private... It's basically a cement structure with no door so anyone can walk in on you. Either do the buddy system and have someone at the entrance or if you hear someone coming then call out that you're in the restroom. We particularly like going to this park for our dogs. The field is an off leash dog park but your dog should be under voice control since it's not fenced in. Most people bring their dogs in the evening, however if you go during school hours and the students are playing on the field then the teachers may ask you to keep your distance.

Cute park! Looks very new and up-to-date. I'd say it's best for kids 6 and under. The little…read moreplayground has very small slides that were perfect for my 2 year old but a little small for my 4 year old. However, the zip line and rock structures were great for my 4 year old. There is also a rope/spiderweb structure that's fun for kids to climb. There were rocks and fake logs on the ground that were easily accessible for littles. There are also swings. I love that the park is a good distance from the street in every direction. There is a large grassy area and a pathway that separates the park from the street. Several people were walking and biking on the path. There are some picnic tables underneath an overhead structure, which would provide good shade in the summer. There weren't many trees providing shade on the play area, which I could see being an issue in the summer. The big thing all parents want to know: yes, there is a bathroom!

There are several climbing rocks and rope obstacles, too, as well as swings. My only complaint about this clean and friendly park is that the play area has no shade. There are no shade structures or tree canopies to provide any shade at all for the kids, though there is a large seating area that is covered.

Peña Adobe Regional Park is a solid little escape when you want nature without doing the absolute…read moremost. Trails, disc golf, fishing, BBQ spots, bathrooms--it's all here--and somehow it still stays pretty quiet unless an event rolls in. It can get windy, and if you drift too close to the freeway trail, say goodbye to your peaceful moment... stick to the hills if you want the good stuff. Also, I've never personally been attacked by mosquitoes here, which feels like a glitch in the system, but I'm not questioning it. Free parking, easy layout, and enough shade to not melt. And yes, we absolutely went because it's literally our last name... felt like a family obligation. Like oh, there's a park with our name on it? Guess we own it now. Don't ask me about maintenance though. Fun fact: the park is named after Juan Felipe Peña, who built the adobe home on-site in 1842--one of the oldest surviving structures around, from when California was still under Mexican rule. It's still there, just casually outlasting everything.

As you walk around you can view different trees, plants, flowers, and statues and memorials. We love taking our dog with us and often walk through the city, get a coffee, end up in this park, and then head off on another adventure. It's a great way to get a nice walk in and enjoy a bit of nature in the middle of our bustling city.

Today I took a few steps on the Capital Loop Trail and then due to the rain I took a shortcut…read morethrough the park. The Capitol Park Loop Trail is a scenic, easy walking and running trail. There are few people that run, but during the work week it's hard as so many people are walking the loop. If you want to really get a good run, I suggest you do it off hours or on the weekend. The park is 40‑acre. It offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city while providing close‑up views of the California State Capitol and its surroundings. The loop is Paved concrete, typically at least 6 feet wide, thus it's ADA assessable. Beware they are doing construction so some of the loop has been cut off by barricades for the safety of all. This means that if you are on the loop you have to exit to the other side of the street to meet up with the loop later down the trail. If you are into counting your steps like many people who work in downtown Sacramento are the loop is 1.1 miles (1.8 km). Don't forget to turn on your smart watch so you get all the credit. Opps !! I forgot to turn on my iwatch to outdoor walk for my walk at lunch today. Don't worry about climbing hills on this look as it's relativity flat, with a less then 1% grade. With that being said it's perfect for most wheelchairs, strollers, and mobility equipment. Depending on your pace it will take you between 0.5-1 hour for a leisurely walk. A few years back when I was working downtown full time we used to walk around the park once a week. It was fun times back then. Our boss would accompany us on the walks so if we kept up with him we didn't have to worry about getting back late from our break. Those were the good o' days.

It's Earth Day! What are you going to do to help our planet and its creatures?…read more We joined City of Sacramento at Parkway Oaks park for their clean up and beautification event. There were a good amount of volunteers who knew what they were doing and got right to work planting shrubbery around the park. My son and I picked up trash but were pleased that there was not a lot at this alert-clean and beautiful park! (We did find evidence that local neighbors had done an Easter egg hunt and didn't successfully find them all ) Decent amount of street parking around the park. Large shaded space for recreation and a large playground for the kiddos when it's not wet outside. No bathroom, which is common, we've noticed, for local community parks in this neighborhood. A quick drive to Starbucks or Bel Air if you need a quick break.

I'm surprised that there are so few (only 2) reviews of this park. This is a nice little gem that's…read moreperhaps not very well known, but being it's on South Land Park Dr. a thoroughfare that connects SLP off Florin Rd to the Pocket area, it's actually strategically located. It's right next to the former Lisbon Elementary School, now a charter school named Yav Pem Suab Academy, a bilingual Hmong and English school. In any case, this park has a lot of wonderful mature shade trees, providing lots of needed shade on hot summer days in Sacramento, and a decently nice playground. My kids enjoyed this park when they were little, and now when we drive past, we see little ones play on the structure. There's also a nice walking path that winds throughout the park and a few sitting benches for just relaxing and bird-and-people-watching, or perhaps if you wanted to just sit quietly in your own thoughts or read a book there's plenty of seating to do that. There's plentiful grass for an informal soccer game or a volleyball game if those are to your liking. In any case, this park is usually not so busy and although there's not any bathroom facilities here from what I recall, it's close to Bel-Air and the shopping plaza (about 5 minutes drive) there so it's definitely a good park to play at or relax in. The quiet and safe neighborhood it's in also makes this park one of the better ones in the Pocket area.
