Garcia Bend Park — Attraction in Sacramento

I went here couples of times with my family in the past and it isn't so bad. In my experience, it's great park to play sports and run around. What I recommend is, always go with someone because you never know what could happen and it's also a big Park, so is better to go with some friends/family members. I also have an experience on the other side where you can go fishing and it's wasn't what I expected to happened. It was scary and shocking at the same time. After finishing fishing, my family and I head back and our car was break into with a crack on window that glass all shattered down on the rock floor.

Very pleasant, family...
