The park has two play structures, swings, and even an obstacle course structure. My kids really enjoyed the three story tower with three different slides. Looked a little intimidating but kids are fearless. There's a generous amount of grass area for activities and a full basketball court. Parking wasn't a problem for us but there isn't a parking lot. There's no restrooms so plan accordingly.

Levy Park is one of many children's parks in Folsom that is extremely easy to access from the…read moreWillow Creek Bike Trail. An auxiliary path behind the park leads directly down to the trail. The park is shaped like an L, with the vertical part of the L being the basketball court, and the horizontal part being a small field and medium sized playground. The playground features multiple slides, tunnels, ladders, fireman's poles, and 4 swings (2 toddler & 2 regular). It's very similar to the main playground at City Park, but slightly better. Several picnic tables are set up under the shade of planted trees, and a large barbecue pit is available. Dogs are allowed on leashes. Posted park hours are from 7am until one hour after sunset. Video surveillance is in effect 24/7. Levi Park sits on a bluff above a valley that was historically used for gold dredging. Educational signs in the park show pictures of dredges, but it's still hard to imagine one sitting in that valley. From the back of the park, looking down, one can see railroad tracks which are still used on rare occasions. The Willow Creek Bike Trail actually runs right next to them. From down below, this bluff is one of my favorites for photographing wildflowers in spring. In addition to the multiple benches set up around the playground, several benches are set up just in front of the bluff, facing the view.

Plenty of grass space and surprise, surprise, the bathrooms are pretty clean for a park. We went on a Sunday and it was pretty empty. No crowds. Enjoyed this park and will definitely be back.

We moved into our house in early 2008 and were promised a grocery store by the end of the year and…read morea park in the not too distant future. Fast forward to July of 2013, there is still no grocery store in sight (much to our dismay) but we FINALLY have our neighborhood park! More than FIVE YEARS LATER! It's very nice to no longer have to load the kids into the car to get to the nearest park, we can now walk there. The kids love to run in the huge field, try to play basketball on the half court (they are still way too small for this), have lunch at one of the four picnic tables under a shade structure, swing on the swings, play in the sandbox and climb and slide on the playground equipment. However, we do feel that the city of Rancho Cordova skimped on our park and many other neighbors agree. Originally, the field was supposed to have a baseball diamond with backboard and soccer goals. We were told midway through that they would buy portable equipment instead of the permanent ones, but I have not heard where this is stored nor how to obtain use of them. The field is large enough to have had a full basketball court, rather than just a half court. Many dog owners wish that a portion of the field could have been fenced off to let their dogs run free, as the law is that dogs must be on leash at all times in the park (which I appreciate since I have small children that I do not wish to be mauled). There is no shade, other than over the small picnic area (they do provide two bbq grills and a good number of trash cans, which is nice) and that makes the play equipment boiling hot much of the summer. Worst of all, no water and no bathrooms. None at all. We were told that a water fountain would have been cost prohibitive! What all this means is that we lug over a cooler with water as the kids inevitably get very thirsty playing in the hot sun and one bottle of drink will not suffice. It also means that two hours is our absolute limit as someone eventually has to use the bathroom and there is nowhere to go. You can see in my pictures that the nearest houses are still blocks away. We will never have a party here for this reason. Also, the playground equipment and basketball court can get crowded at certain parts of the day and our neighborhood is maybe only halfway complete. Our understanding is that this is the only park planned for us. Once it is complete I can see the park being overrun, as nearly everyone has small children. While we appreciate finally having our neighborhood park, we feel slighted and disappointed based on what we were promised when we originally moved here. If I did not love my house and we were in a better financial situation, I feel as though we might be looking to move elsewhere in the Sacramento area.

It's something to look into through the city. There a pretty big picnic area for parties. I think I may have seen bbq's as well. Although I didn't see a bathroom but there might be I just wasn't looking for one. I did see a homeless man where the picnic tables were. Just keep a close eye on your children. He wasn't bothering anyone, very quiet and to himself. You can never be too cautious though.

Folsom, Livermore Park: Park Ranger Dennis…read more 8/17/26 Very kind and helpful park ranger. I lost my keys, had my puppies loaded in truck and was aimlessly trying to find key fob for about 20 min. I asked him as he was driving by if he happened to see a key fob during his maintenance of park. He pulled over, offered to help look, said no to worry and then found keys within 5 min! Aside from the heroics of him finding the keys, he has a great presence at the park and helped/spoke to a few other people that same morning. Thanks Dennis!

Even at 8:15-8:30 PM on a weekday you can't see play more than one game before people start going up to you saying you can't stay on the court for yourself winner stays. Then they queue up and all and I watched someone just finish a game and queue but we were waiting a lot longer and there were complaints by not even the queue people who let us go ahead of them because some people were calling us out and getting upset that we didn't put our paddles in the board. Good (12) Pickleball Courts but they have exploded in popularity and you have to wait a long time or play later and later now. If it was just me, I'd wait later to play or go on off hours but friends rather go at certain times. Folsom should build more.
