Madera Park — Attraction in Citrus Heights

Madera park is everything that a park should be. Its centerpiece is a playground with three play structures, small, medium, and large, to accommodate children of different ages. These feature slides, ladders, monkey bars, and other attractions that children love. Two climbing structures are lots of fun. Children who are tired of climbing can relax on the swing set. There are also several benches where parents can sit and watch. Oak trees provide shade to keep the park cool in the summer, and drop gold and orange leaves in the fall.

There is a tennis court, and the Sacramento Kings recently renovated a basketball court. A paved path that encircles the park is a great place for pushing a stroller or just taking a stroll.

That wont give us the satisfaction that also making them feel horrible about themselves will. Hehe, I mean, thats what it's all about, right? Hate...

I was hesitant to come back here. My family visited back in 2017/2018 and my then 2y old went down a steep slide that had a deep pit dug out under it. He picked up so much speed and there was no runway at the bottom that once he reached the end, he literally flew several feet through the air. His teeth punctured through the skin below his lower lip and he needed stitches to fix it. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the play structures have been updated to newer ones and I no longer have to worry about the steep slide. No sand, swings for both big kids and babies, a few benches around the playground area and picnic tables farther into the large grassy area, almost fully fenced playground area, and bathrooms across the parking...
