So on the look out for a walking trail and came across this little gem on my search for some walking trails. Two entrances and two parking spots that I passed. There is a potty box located on the other parking lot (you'll pass it if you keep waling through). Lots of walkers, no bike riders that day and not that many kids on the trail. Lots of things to look at and enjoy. Plenty of shaded areas and it appears they have a bench and possibly a Q pit?

Cute little park in the midst of south Davis homes. It's a bit of a distance from the street,…read moredepending on which side you're coming from, so that makes me feel safer about the kids running around. Street parking only. There's very easy walking access from the surrounding neighborhoods, and I saw a few people taking a stroll and some biking. There are two separate play areas, but they're not super far apart, which makes it easier to supervise the kids. One is more geared for older kids and one for toddlers, although my toddler loved both of them. There are two big kid swings and two little kid swings (again, separate areas). There are wood chips in the play area, no sand. We saw some gardeners doing landscaping as we were there; the park definitely felt like they kept it up well. As for eating, there are two picnic tables and a drinking fountain. There are NO bathrooms. While there were lots of trees, they were not necessarily covering the play structures, just the surrounding grass. I wouldn't come on a hot, sunny afternoon!

Located next…read moreto Peregrine (a school) it has a vast open grassy field, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a playground. The courts are lighted so you can play at night. The courts are rather new so there are barely any cracks through them! For those that prefer to watch, there are bleachers that line the courts so you can hang out there! I saw tons of people bring their dogs with them so definitely bring your four legged friend with you to enjoy the park. There is a parking lot right by the courts that you can park at to walk around. It's also extremely close to Oakshade Town Center so you can go over there to grab a bite to eat. I haven't gone there when school is in session but on the off days, it is pretty empty and accessible :)

West Manor Park is a small park in west Davis. This hidden gem is located off of Salem Ave behind a…read morefew large apartment complexes. This small but huge park is a favorite for locals and college students, due to how remote this park is. In the mornings you will find people walking their fur friends of all kinds there. During the afternoons you will see kids playing on the big play structure, swinging on the swing, going around on the merry-go-round, digging holes in the large sand box or playing baseball on the baseball diamond. There is a large grassy area with a small gravel walking track that borders the grass and during the spring/summer time there is even a volleyball net the city puts up for public use. This park also has a roller hockey ring, a basketball court, and a tennis court. On Sundays you can even join in with the Davis Bike Polo League. Regular pick up games start at 12pm and end whenever it gets dark. There are 103 trees planted all around this park, (yes I counted all of them) which makes for some great shade during the hot summer days. I would say this is one of the better parks to have a picnic or BBQ at because there are plenty of picnic tables. Nine picnic tables are out in the open covered by the trees, one picnic table is by the basketball courts and there are two that are under a wooden covering. However there are only two small BBQs and one large one all located by the large seating area. This park also has a men's and women's restroom, but be careful because there are no doors on the stalls. The park is also equipped with one recycle container, four trash cans throughout the park, two bike racks and one water fountain. There are two parking lots for this park. The main lot is located off of Salem St, and the smaller lot is located off of Portage Bay Way. There are also two walking entrances from the residential side of the park located on Cumberland Place and Brandywine Place. I do not advise to park there since it is a residential area. Come out and enjoy this beautiful park in West Davis!

As far as I can tell this park is primarily best used for drinking.. Other than that there aren't a…read moreton of redeeming qualities about this space. It's mostly just open (and yellowing) grass, with just a couple picnic tables under a few trees. They do have tennis, roller skating, etc courts, but they're pretty cracked and worn down. The baseball / kickball field only has a backstop, so actually playing the game is a do-it-yourself affair. The park is also pretty modest in size. Still, since the alcohol container ordinance apparently doesn't apply here and the park is pretty isolated, if you want to get drunk outside with your friends this is the prime place to do it! Thankfully, drunk people aren't usually too worried about the quality of a park.
