Best investment we've made! They were always very responsive and consultative when it came to problem solving. It really felt like we were in this together. I highly recommend working with Barrett at Sport Court of Northern California if you are looking to put a court in your backyard.

Everything looks fantastic, and I'm so impressed by their process, design and install. Barrett's design was executed perfectly. There was no disturbance to the rest of our back yard, and the finished product far exceeded our expectations. Fantastic company! Excellence starts at the top with Barrett and is evident in every part of their work.

When the courts are full, there isn't an easy system for getting on so you put your paddles on a court you hope will open up. It's awkward and folks don't like to get off after their game so a better system would help. Despite this, for me, these courts are my favorite. They are well maintained and there is usually plenty of parking, clean bathrooms in the community center and folks are generally nice.

If you prefer a more relaxed experience, try going during off hours when it's less crowded. The area is well lit and there's ample parking in the adjacent lot. Just keep in mind that the lights for the pickleball courts shut off promptly at closing time so plan your games accordingly. Check it out!

First of all I would like to start off by saying that Wally and his crew did a fantastic job. I had…read morespent a better part of a year working on a play area project for our church down here in LA and even though there are plenty of companies that provide the same products and services closer to us, Wally always was upfront with the cost and timeline and right off the bat I felt comfortable with him and knew I could trust him. The worksite was always clean and they respected the property and what we represented. They came in and got the work done and the end product was better than i could have imagined. Well done boys! I would definitely hire them again!

Do not do business with this guy Wally and Professor Playground. He is nasty and his work is…read moreterrible. He made a serious mistake on the measurement of on his install and has forever ruined my backyard project. Then he would not take any responsibility for his mistake, then he tried to blame it on me. In addition he charged my more money for his mistake and would not finish the work. Then he wanted payment in advance before finishing the job. I can't warn you enough DO NOT do business with him. Steer clear of this guy. Now he is suing me for his work that he did not complete. Buyer Beware

Out for our weekend walk the honey and I ambled into Hidden Valley Park after walking through…read moreHidden Lakes Park. Personally, we enjoyed this park more as it was paved and had more amenities, such as exercise equipment and children's play spaces. It could definitely use more culture and zhuzh as there were many spots where a bit of design (such as a mural) would have improved the vibe. But that being said, it wasn't too bad for a mid-sized neighborhood park. Our favorite areas were the small overlook with stone bench and the bridge that connected back to the trail towards Lakes. Sadly, like Lakes, some of the trails that lead down from the bridge were a bit washed out so we didn't get explore as much as we would have liked but all in all we much enjoyed getting some steps in and would definitely come back - but perhaps on a day where it's not raining.

These two parks are often confused as one park, but they actually intercept each other. This is an excellent place to bring the kiddies as there is a pretty large play structure in tow. There's also a huge grassy field that's perfect for picnicking and other recreational activities. The walking paths are all paved and lead to other trails within nearby Hidden Lakes Park. There's tons of picnic space and each picnic area can be reserved for special events. You'll find a good amount of exercise equipment near a few of the walking paths. Parking is easy and there are clean restrooms on site. This is the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a light run. The large grassy field space is also very desirable for dog owners. I immediately noticed how clean this park was as soon as I arrived. They definitely do an excellent job of cleaning and maintaining this area. I'd say that this is one of the better local parks in the area.

When I went there were a couple of kids and all of them were very friendly. Great stop for the kids if your driving around doing errands since it's so close to Walmart and Lucky's. Everything seemed cleaned and worked nicely. So it's very well maintained. There are benches and tables for kids/adults. Nice swing structure and different climbing structures. Love all the multiple slides as well. Everything felt nice and safe. Highly recommend. I like the fact I haven't seen some of these structures at previous parks. Meaning the fake rock to climb on and the spinning colors and one of the music features. Very fun and entertaining.

This park is located right of the 242, its easy to access with lots of parking. The kids get to play in a small scale castle, stores, and boat spaces to keep them entertained. Every time we come here, our older son just runs around until we say it's time to go home. We go for walks in the neighboring park and fields to get some exercise in as well. Check out this park if you're in the Concord/Martinez area to discover something new. They recently updated the fields nearby and parking lot. They have food trucks on the weekends. You will have fun!

Generally it's a nice little playground. A couple of things though, I think I went when it was a little warm, it had this strange smell of either melted crayons or microwaved plastic. Something didn't sit right. The other thing was that I noticed that there were a lot of different trucks driving by (garbage, moving, transport, vans, regular trucks). Maybe people just drive a lot of trucks in the area, I'm not too sure. There's a lot of shade outside of the park but inside could get pretty warm. I'm not sure if I'd come back, but at least I know it's there!
