Park features large playgrounds suitable for all ages and also a water feature with entry by the soccer fields. With it being next to the Sacramento River you get tto really see a wide range of avian life forms. For bird spotters this will be a real treat. Fishing from the river or in the parks ponds which are stocked annually with fish from local fish hatcheries. They feature several events here monthly on the park grounds and have reservations available online for reserving specific parts of the park.
Local pond has a family of beavers you can watch throughout the day playing, hunting and eating in the ponds.
We enjoy starting with some play time, going for a walk around the ponds and ending with some swing time on the various child safe swings in the children's park.

The gazebo is old and outdated..I get it's a park but it has a metal roof so it holds all the heat in. They do have fans on the roof, but if you haven't rented it and just want to use it if no one else is, you can't turn them on..I think they should at least try to figure out something different for the roof..some sort of ventilation without letting rain water in during the winter months.
