There's plenty of room to roam, and it's honestly such a peaceful spot to just exist outside for a while. Now... the only downside is the public restroom situation. The lack of doors is a bold architectural choice -- very "trust fall with society." As a woman, it's a little... unsettling. And the inside? Let's just say it gave strong Silent Hill vibes. Not quite the immersive nature experience I was looking for. That said, the park itself is beautiful and totally worth visiting. Just maybe handle your restroom business before you arrive -- or be prepared for a survival horror side quest.

We visited the Arboretum more recently, and it was just as serene and beautiful as we remembered. From the Davis Commons, there is an entrance to the trail which follows a small creek to the UC Davis campus. The beginning is paved, so you can even push your baby along in a stroller. Along the way are plants and flowers of different varieties, small bridges, a grove of towering trees, and mallard duck couples obviously bonded for life! There is plenty of shade, benches, and spots to rest, but the full loop is about 3.5 miles, which would also make for a phenomenal run with Mother Nature.

There is a farm-themed structure, an older area, and a newer area. Some of the playground equipment were things not usually seen or that I've never seen, such as a contraption to dig in the small sand area. I also noted that the newer area was built with inclusivity in mind. Some really nice aspects are that there's a large covered cemented area, some picnic tables & benches, and lots of grass. There's a neat manually-powered carousel with suspended animals to ride on that was operating for a fundraiser. There are also musical activities. We were able to spend a lot of time here enjoying being outdoors while little one played on everything.

The grass is green and the trees are trimmed. Its just a peaceful little park. Its very busy in the mornings, kind of dead in the afternoon, but picks up in the late afternoon.

The best places to park is on Del Oro Ave, Baja Ave, and Catalina Dr. Those three places offer the best parking situations for you.

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!

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 :)
