I don't know why it's taken me so long to write about EG Park, but after the past visit, it was such a nice experience that I just had to tell the world. This park is huge and has everything - trails, picnic tables, duck pond, frisbee nets, dog park and bike park. The bike park is across the parking lot of the dog park, with plenty of dirt hills for practicing jumps. I've never seen a free bike park before. The dog park isn't separated by big/small dogs and the grass is spotty, but there are some training obstacles and the area is big. I'd rather walk my dog in the actual EG park instead. The weekends are always busy with birthdays, photoshoots, and other parties, but they are spaced out so there is privacy and even low noise when walking around on the path. On rainy days, the canopy of trees keep the path dry in most parts. I love the large pond and watching the ducks, geese, and squirrels. There's always something interesting to look at every season. In the spring you can spot eggs on the island and lots of adorable baby ducks. You used to be able to go on the island, but the bridge is now gated to allow for bird breeding. On this particular day, it was sprinkling and the rain softly falling on the pond with ducks, geese, and their babies' pitter pattering along were just so zen. The majority of the park is lush with green grass and hardly any trash around. There's plenty of trash bins along the path and benches to relax on. If you're lucky, you'll spot a unique bird or two. My favorite is the cormorant that dives for fish on the pond. Whether it's a stroll in the park, a party, doggy play date, or a zen place to run away from your problems, EG Park is my go to.

I used to come here for the little dog park, that is until they posted a sign about dog influenza…read more That was a red flag for us and we stopped coming. Such a shame as it was a nice dog park, sort of close to our house. It's been over 15 years since I've been here so the epidemic has probably passed and your are probably safe to bring your dog. There is always the chance you could get kennel cough at a dog park, it's like the common cold in people so it's much less of an issue. Just be safe when you go and make sure your dog is vaccinated. Then you're doing the best that you can. I am overly cautions so after we leave a dog park we always wash the paws as they've been running around and can pick up something that no one is aware of. This park has a lot to offer. There are 2 sand volleyball courts, 2 ponds with fountains, a stream, multiple soft or baseball fields, a soccer field, and large open spaces. I imagine that it gets busy in the spring time during baseball season. They have stadium seating for the onlookers, but I can imagine many people bring their own chairs and shade conversing, umbrellas and such. You are welcome to bring your own chairs, but they have lots of picnic tables and benches available too. The rotary memorial is a big gazebo area with picnic benches and standard benches. We ate in that area as it had all the picnic tables in it and we shared a table with 2 other families. A little cramped, but it was nice to sit down with a table and not just a bench. They hold multiple festivals throughout the year. Today's festival was the Vietnamese New Years Celebration and that was what brought us out to the Elk Grove Regional Park. Last year we came to a similar festival, but it was at another part of Elk Grove. Good thing we relooked at the website to realize it was located here at the Elk Grove Regional Park. The lot to the right was full and was where the festival was located. We continued going straight and then parked on the left right by the first baseball diamond and next to the bathrooms. It was an easy walk to the festival. The park is huge so you may want to scout out to see where your group is located before you park if you don't want to walk too far. We saw lots of people parking in the baseball lot like we did, there were also some unpaved spots along the main road that people were parking. At the festival area there were 2 stages set up. Portable stages, so they aren't park of the Park's amphitheater. We did walk by the park's Amphitheatre and it was closed for the season. Along with the 2 stages set up in one parking lot they had set up bounce houses and other kid friendly activities. They even had a mini train that took the kids on a train ride around the festival. In another parking lot they had community vendors offering free information about services they provide. In another parking lot they had food vendors, pop up tents and food trucks. Between the community vendors they also had venders selling jewelry, key chains, and other do dads. We found a vendor that was selling rice plates and got one, most of the vendors were offering fried foods and my husband wasn't interested. Lots of vendors were offering boba teas, smoothies, and sugar cane drinks. The price when up if you have little to no ice. We didn't see any bathrooms in the area we were in, but they brought in port-a-potties and hand washing stations that were supplied with water, soap, and paper towels. We used them soon as we arrived before they got busy and gross. We loved our time at the Elk Grove Regional Park and because it was such a positive experience, the parking was easy we'll be back for another festival.

My family and I came…read morehere on a Sunday evening to wind down and end our day, and it is by far one of the best and cleanest parks in the Elk Grove area. We even came on a windy day, and it was still a wonderful place to be. It is so spacious that it's the perfect spot to fly kites. A few of us were flying kites together, and it was such a relaxing, heartwarming experience. It's incredibly family and dog friendly, super roomy, and has so much going on. Because it's so clean and well maintained, this might just become the park I bring my kids to most often, and it is definitely a top choice for hosting future family events! It is perfect for a workout, sports activities, or just letting the kids play. I love the layout, especially how they designed the two separate grass areas where one sits at a lower elevation, while the other is level with the rest of the park. But honestly, what really blew me away was the restroom. I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I'm serious! So many park restrooms are cold, dark, dirty, and lacking privacy. This one felt downright luxurious. It is completely temperature controlled, which was especially nice since it was breezy outside! It was warm, well lit, exceptionally clean, and had absolutely no odor. It even sounded like it had a great ventilation system running. The only minor downside was the lack of toilet seat covers, but that's an easy fix. The entire park feels pretty new with a beautiful, modern design, conveniently located right behind the Sky River Casino. Highly recommend checking it out! Rate: 10/10

Friends invited us to go play pickleball at this park with their family. The funny thing is we've…read moredriven past this park hundreds of times and have never stopped here. Not when the kids were younger, and not when we lived kind of closer to here. Seem it just never registered on our radar to come here and enjoy the facilities. In fact, I thought this is an Elk Grove Cosumnes Community Services District maintained park, and it turns out it's a City of Sac Park & Rec park, just goes to show I don't get out enough recreationally, haha. Anyways, so we arrived and went down Jacinto and had to make an U-turn bc the courts were not down that street, so we came back onto Center Parkway as the wife pointed out the covered fence must be where the tennis courts are. I give her props as a good navigator. So we found street parking right next to the courts and joined our friends who got there first. The courts are in pretty good shape except one of the court has some major cracks from settling, it would be good if the City filled them. These are regular tennis courts with Thermoplastic pickleball lines applied in blue over the white lines 2 years ago, according to my buddy. I would say the lines could've been another color like yellow or a lighter color than the blue and they would be more visible for my old eyes, but they are durable. We played as 1 set of doubles and 1 set w/3, boys and girls separate, for a good while and then it got kind of too hot as we were approaching midday. So we had some snacks and water and then we all headed out to go home for lunch. The Rules for this court are clearly posted on the fence entrance door on a metal sign (see pics) and it's open from sunup till 10pm, and lights are allowed from sunset till 10p, although the courts are not lighted, which is probably a good thing so as to discourage people from playing till too late and disturbing the neighborhood. Although the courts are not shaded by any trees, there is plenty of shade right outside the entrance but there's not seating / tables anywhere close by so if you want to chill and have a snack, bring your own picnic blankets or some lawn chairs, no eating/drinking on the courts. We had a good time and this is closer to us and not so crazy busy compared to many of the other parks w/pickleball courts all over Elk Grove and Sac, so we'll be back.

There's a basketball court, a walkway/walking path, grassy areas, a little creek runs through the back of the park, and there's also a couple of play areas/structures. Overall, it's a nice little park and when we were there, we saw it used quite a bit by kids having fun/playing, as well as adults getting exercise. It was even a bit crowded as it's pretty popular in the neighborhood. The only thing we really did not like is the phone tower disguised as a redwood tree right there in a corner of the park. That's probably not a good thing to have right at a park.
