Why didn't anyone tell me there was an awesome dog park in my neighborhood?! Well, actually someone…read moredid tell me when I was walking Sheba one day, but still, why didn't anyone tell me sooner?! I'm feeling extremely relieved I can now save gas and time from going to the dusty Sutter's Landing and her favorites Bark Park in Rancho Cordova and Ruff Dog Park all the way in Rocklin. Search "dog park" on Yelp and bet this place won't show up. Why? Because this is actually a secret neighborhood doggie park. Expect to see the owners and their pups come here from 7-9 AM or from 5-7 PM. Other than that it's occupied by the school and the occasional soccer practice. There's a few water bowls and plenty of grass to roam along with a shaded area with lawn chairs. Just be sure to clean up after your pup so we can continue to visit. The park isn't fully gated, but the grass area is so big that the dogs rarely venture far enough. Pups of all sizes appear to be welcome. Thank you Sierra School Park for providing Curtis Park a dog friendly field!

Fruitridge Park is part of Southgate Recreation & Park District here in the City of Sacramento. The…read morepark is hidden behind Fruitridge Community Center and the Fruitridge Aquatic Center. Anyone driving by the park would never have noticed it's being there because it is set so far back from the main street. As you walk along the path leading to the park, you'll be surprised at the immensity of the park ! The play ground itself offers a play area for older children as well as one for younger children. Both play area has slides, swings and climbing structures. Too the right of the playground you'll find a huge gazebo. There were no picnic tables under the gazebo at this time, but I did find a few tables and benches scattered throughout the park. A little further back was a full court basketball court, two tennis courts ( no nets at this time ) plus an huge open play area with soccer goals. What's also nice about this park is that it has lighted parking. Fruitridge Park would be a (4 Star) park if it were in a safer area of town. The park has so much to offer to local residence. If you plan to visit this park, my recommendation would be to visit during daylight hours only ! Enjoy !

Nice park nice trees and shi hella fun if u ain't from fruitridge. Don't come longlivebristheemuread more

Tahoe Park is one of our favorite places to visit!…read more We've lived in the area for almost six years now, and we absolutely love coming here. In the summer, they host food trucks on the last Friday of the month, which is always a treat. The park has lots of shady areas, two playgrounds (one for bigger kids and a smaller one for toddlers), and a track for walking or running. You'll also find fields for soccer, volleyball, and baseball, plus BBQ areas you can reserve. The neighborhood is safe and very family-friendly. One of the best parts is the public swimming pool that opens during the summer. They charge $3 or $4 per person, which is very reasonable. Just a heads-up--this year, they're only accepting cash at the pool. It would be helpful if they posted a sign in the parking lot to let families know. I've seen a few frustrated parents who had to unload all the kids and gear, only to find out inside that they couldn't pay with card. Despite that hiccup, it's a wonderful park for families and we're grateful to have it nearby!

We went to a church picnic recently that was held at Tahoe Park. It was a brisk and very windy day,…read morebut the sun was shining and it was a mild day so it was still a great day for a picnic at the park. The kids had a great time. Tahoe Park is huge. It's between 59th and 61st St going east and west and between 8th and 11th Ave going north and south, and it is almost 18 acres big according to the City's website. There are soccer fields, a baseball diamond, a full basketball court, a smaller but adequate kids playground, 2 actually, one bigger, and one for smaller kids. In the summer time, the swimming pools will be open, so that's a great facility for hot weather fun. There is also a big gazebo with tables and seating on the side closest to where we saw kids playing soccer. We hung out closer to the picnic table area since we were grilling up some burgers and hotdogs, and there were several picnic tables to sit at and plenty of room. Although that area isn't very shaded. Our church reserved the tables, but it wasn't at the gazebo so it was a bit hotter where we were picnicking, but since it was so windy that day, it wasn't hot at all. It was the perfect day for flying kites so the kids did that for quite some time. Super fun for them to try to figure out how to get the kites to catch the wind and keep afloat. There's a set of bathrooms near the playground but I didn't use them so I don't know if they were clean or not. All in all, this is a nice park that I've just never been to, guess I keep frequenting the same ones that are familiar to me, but this is an underrated park and it's in a safe residential area, so it's a great place for a BBQ or a picnic or a party. I'm sure we'll be back.

And too boot one of her favorite bands were performing ( Inner Soul ) ! Roy J. Nielsen served in the California Legislature and represented California 14th State Assembly. The City of Sacramento dedicated Roy J. Nielsen Park in the year 1975. The park is located in the older part of South Sacramento. Also adjacent to E. Mack Elementary School. It is fairly large in size, consisting of roughly 10.8 acres. It offers a full size soccer field, 2 lighted tennis courts, adventure play area with slides, climbing structures, swings and a separate tot play area for younger kids. The City of Sacramento does a fine job in maintaining this 39 year old park. Can't wait for the next concert ! See you there !

William Land Park Trail and I are no stranger. I have used this trail all through my high school…read moreyears and beyond . William Land Park itself was only a short distance from where I grew-up. So naturally the trail was conveniently located for me to jog during wrestling and football season. I am sure everyone and especially me are surprised to know that we have been walking on a trail all these year's. The trail is flat and is good for all skill levels. It has no beginning nor ending point . It is a loop trail 2 miles in total length. The starting point can be anywhere you can find parking. The parking lot across the street from the Sacramento Zoo and next to Fairy Tale Town makes a great place to start. The trail goes around the perimeter of Land Park. I makes its way in front of Fairy Tale Town , passing a pond and golf course. The gravel trail then proceeds down 13th Avenue passing beautifully architected homes ending at Freeport Boulevard. Then traveling down Freeport Boulevard in front of Sacramento City College until you reach Sutterville Road. From here it's a straight shot back to Land Park . This trail gets a lot of use by young and old alike. Even - though the trail parallels the main roads, the beauty of the park makes the noise tolerable. This trail is accessible year round and can be walked, jogged, biked and is wheelchair friendly. Pets on leashes are more than welcome ! Enjoy !
