Phoenix park has a lot to offer. We go for the baseball with the Fair Oaks Orangevale Little League. Their concessions stand is really great and they take pride in the diamonds and facilities. Parking is always a NIGHTMARE. Sometimes groups use the soccer fields for practice and it makes the entire area a congested nightmare. They have two smaller play structures, one near the front and those fields and the other is on the way back behind the baseball fields. There is a walking track all around but no lighting at night or evenings. The Phoenix fields vernal pools sometimes have guided tours but during late spring and summer it is dried up and watch out for snakes in the tall grass! The trails are nice but short. Near the baseball side is the Fair Oaks VFW hall which isn't part of the park but has it's own events, parking lot and street entrance from Hazel ave where the regular entrance to the park is off of Sunset. Near the VFW hall is the Fair Oaks Community Garden which is ran by the UC Master Gardeners. They hold plant sales, compost talks, garden tours, and harvest festival throughout the year. They have their own website and information side from Phoenix park. The park also opened a large bicycle obstacle course where they hold competitions and events through Fair Oaks Park and Rec. Overall this is a decent park if you live nearby and can walk or have something to do there, otherwise the play structures and parking lots are not as great compared to other Fair Oaks and Orangevale...

I have to a lot of parks over the years but never had a met so many openly kind people . Neighbors Assure softy for our children to play by keeping a mutual eye on all who visit keeping the dcuq battle in our communities at bay reporting anything suspicious or doesn't belong to the authorities promptly period and receiving prompt assistance. One of the few Parks where one can walk even at night around them forgiving path at the park without worry. As well as many things to sit and watch. For example: multiple Kites on a windy day Orem radio control planes navigating along an open field of a soccer, baseball or the lacrosse on a clear one. What was once also my favorite the throwing of a ball 4 dogs chase across Lush green grass that's safe enough one can venture even while barefoot. Leave it was one time an airstrip and now one of our communities favorite gathering places. Yes, of all the parks in Sacramento I would call this one...
Read moreI want to like this park .it's centrally located where we live and is large enough to accommodate 3 little league baseball fields surround by space to hold several soccer or Lacross games at once ...it's biggest problem is parking which gets gobbled up if one of these fields is being used and every parent decided to attend. The bathrooms are lacking and is not uncommon to see the porta potties out when they expect large gatherings ... And since we live in a suburban sprawl this is really the only area for whatever wetlands used to be here for the birds and the birds are plentiful here and leave nice little bird droppings pretty much everywhere you walk. Be nice if the county put some money into the park and redesigned the layout. They could have a first rate facility here but as it is now its my opinion that the good folks that live here in Fair Oaks...
