We live somewhat close by, but not in in this neighborhood and this park is quite tucked away so it's a good one to bring your kids if you want to find a shaded, cool, open and safe park that's pretty much never too crowded. There's a lot of room for kicking around a soccer ball, or putting up a volley ball net for a quick impromptu game. There's a play structure here for kiddos also, benches to rest on. In short, there's a little something for everyone here. A nice, quiet, and peaceful neighborhood park in the City of Sacramento Park and Rec district.

Quarantine review Vol 3…read more Been coming to this park for years! The first time I stumbled upon this park I was so lost. I just went for a walk to get lost and boy was I lost. It took me an hour to get back home. This park back then was nicer it had more trees which it had way more shade. The pond they had always had water and they would stock it with fish. They redesigned the park and the pond now just looks like a puddle its a big pond but it has very little water. The playground they have now is way bigger than before. I would normally come her at night wit my dogs, because I stay lurking in the dark ;) they made the field bigger and added another field on the other side which before it was just dead grass with shrubs so they did it make it way bigger. They have a little community center next to it where before they would do aerobic classes and I think its also a library, I could be wrong tho. Come out here and check it out its nice but it was nicer before they have picnic tables and a gazebo and lots of room to run and play for the lil ones or if u want to get ur work out on.

On Saturday we attended a friend's birthday party here at their picnic tables for the theme Where…read morethe Wild Things Are, perfect theme to hold at a park, am I right?! Where children can let all their energy out and be kids! This park has a HUGE field to play sports, 2 play structures both for older and younger children and is right next to the recreation center that holds parties and more. They also have a large parking lot and water fountains to quench their thirst after playing, awesome! I would highly recommend checking out this park here in Sacramento, to discover all it has to offer! My toddler as well as the twins who held their party here had a blast from going down the various slides, spinning the wheel, seeing the flowers in the Butterfly Garden and more! Another big plus, the park was well kept, which shows it's cleaned and maintained regularly, we'll be back!

Not my favorite, but a pretty decent park. This park is close to 43rd St on Gloria by the fire…read morestation. It's kind of too wide open and too close to a busy intersection and sadly the immediate neighborhood of this park has gone downhill so it's not the safest. I wouldn't come at night, but it's pretty chill by day and I don't see any "activities" in daylight. The equipment and facilities are also kind of worn out and need to be updated. We only brought our kids here once or twice as the 95831 has many parks and there are definitely quite a few others that are better. Still it's good this park is here for the kids and families within walking distance. And it's relatively safe since it is right next to a fire station so I'm sure the less positive activities are more discouraged here. Lots of open space and grassy area, plus there's tennis courts that stay open till late, very brought lit, so that's a big positive if you're looking for a place to play tennis or the latest trend of pickle ball. This park has open courts that are usually not busy. There are also a small bball court and a skate park here, so a variety of activities for everyone. The one special feature I see people use a lot here is the disc golf course which looks cool and fun, but what do I know, lol. There are bathrooms here, but they do not look that great, so I did not try using them.

This park was a great find. I found it searching for skate parks, with tennis courts, and…read moreplaygrounds for my family that has kid ages ranging from 2 years old to 14 years old. There is also a big grass area where my sister and I used our badminton rackets to toss A birdie back-and-forth. There was also a basketball court.

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.

We used to come here all the time when our kids were little. They're "too cool" for parks now, but…read morewe still come here on walks and my kids still enjoy taking their bikes here and riding them around the park. Heck, sometimes they'll still play on the play structure and I'm totally cool with that, they're growing up too fast! Sometimes I'll bring a soccer or volleyball with me and kick/hit it around with my son and have some father-son bonding time. It's a good thing. We can get competitive and give each other some good exercise. The other feature we like about this park besides the walking trail, the tall oak trees that give it a secluded oasis feel, and the play structure, is the exercise equipment side of the park, on the southeast corner. My kids like to get on the balance beam and try to walk across it quickly and try to push each other off. My daughter used to be really good on monkey bars and she'd climb those over and over too. Good times. We've also met quite a few nice neighbors here just by chatting it up, otherwise people keep to themselves in this area, but it is good to make some new friends and watch out for each other. A nice park to create your own experiences and memories! Just remember to use the bathroom before you come here as there's no restroom facilities here which is the one negative.

Ah, Marriott Park.

The play structures are great for littles (I'd say 2 to 10), there's shaded areas to sit, and it's always clean and well cared for. There's a workout area for the adults, too, and if you keep your eyes peeled there's a fairy door hiding. My only gripe - and honestly, it's a big one! - is that there are no restrooms. If those were added this would be a perfect spot. But as is, it's pretty damn good and we're super happy to have it in the neighborhood.

There must be hundreds of parks in the city of Elk Grove. Each little neighborhood within the city…read moreseems to have their own little park. Some big and some small. I happen to find this one while on one of my cycling adventures. The name of this park is Roy E. Herburger Park . The park is fairly small and only encompasses 1.9 Acres. It's in the quite community of Laguna and was built in the year 1999 and is part of the Cosumnes Community Service District. The park has an open play area, a shaded structure or gazebo, a small picnic area , picnic table , a few benches and of course a children's play area with structures and a small sand lot. There are no restrooms in this park. It's hard to compare one park from another based solely on their amenities that they offer. Others things to take into consideration are location of the park, parking, easy access in and out, and of course the amenities that they do offer. Based on all of the above criteria , this park has earned a solid 3 stars performance!

A very interesting and creatively designed water utility facility. I've never been here before, but…read moreI'm glad we visited. There's several ways in, we came from the bike path on the levee coming from the west. We walked along the river for awhile and then entered this facility. The artistic design featuring quotes related to water, rivers, the natural environment, and the Sierra mountains where we get our water in this inlet were all very tastefully chosen and integrated on the large wall that is the back (or front?) of the facility. There's several parts of this whole premises, and for the average person it might be hard to understand what is what, but there's several diagrams throughout the area that explains the purpose and significance of the parts of the facility. Of course, there's the water tower as well which is a very significant landmark in this region. Overall, it's a beautiful way for this otherwise simply technical and necessary water utility facility to be made into a publicly accessible and enjoyable little courtyard and viewing area along the Sacramento river levee. The bike path comes from Garcia Bend park (& beyond from the west and northwest) all the way to this facility and then the path continues onto BT Collins Sports Complex, although you would need to cross Freeport Blvd to get to it. It pretty much ends after that. I'm glad there's this little known and yet scenic lookout over the river, it is nothing super fancy or special. And yet in its simplistic but artistic design, it ties everything together both from the nature it's utilizing to bring us water from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the engineering facility that is the heart of this place.

Great views of the river, to the north and south. Interesting educational signs. Cool structures.read more
