This is a large regional park. There are two playgrounds, one for larger children and another for smaller kids. There is also a small, it's a water part where people can run around in the water to cool down.
A centerpiece for the park is the North Natomas Baseball Park. There are a number of well kempt, baseball diamonds, complete with beachers for spectators.
There's a fairly large, clean covered picnic area and many othere tables around the baseball diamond area. There are a lot of clean public restrooms and drinking fountains located near the baseball diamonds as well.
The West End of the park provides access to the the paved North Natomas biking and walking trail. Another concrete walking trail circles the park. Additional dirt, hiking trails, crisscross and circle the park as well.
There is a large tree shaded plate. It's parking lot at the south end of the park.
There is a large thread, it's benched.It's dog park.It's located to the east of the parking lot. The dog park has 3. It's succinct it's fenced arias. Two areas for large stocks and one area for small dots. There are multiple drinking fountains, 45, the docs and their owners. It's located inside the fenced area.
At the east end of the park, there are developed and undeveloped areas surrounding a V-shaped lake with three lovely water fountains in it. There are grass areas here.It's where people sometimes relax under shade trees. Beware the geese in the area as they can sometimes be mean.
Near the west side of the park is a large grassy area that is used for community events such as evening concerts, plays, and...
Read moreI just came back to the dog park for the first time in a while and it's been completely redone. It's on the other side of the parking lot now, and it's very nice.
The large dog area has an agility course, lots of running room, shaded areas for humans, drinking fountains for people and doggos, a little plastic wading pool for hot days, and a nice fire hydrant shaped fountain that also greatly amuses toddlers (and adults when it's 90 degrees out).
By comparison, the small dog park is pretty disappointing. It's probably a third the size of the large dog park and has none of the bells and whistles. It does have the drinking fountain and a smaller washing pool, and there's trees in the grassy area. Otherwise that's it.
I suppose that's fine for most small dogs, but my zippy Italian greyhound mix needs way more room than that for running. So we just head straight into the large dog park.
Other than that, my only complaints are that there is only one trash can in each park and one water fountain, both near the door. It would be much better if there was one on each side. It's a pain in the butt to be on the far side of the park and have to walk your dog's poop all the way back to the front gate to throw it away. The same with trying to get them water while they're running around with their tongue...
Read moreOne of my boy's favorite (dog) parks. Separated small and large dogs, with the large dog side being quite a bit bigger. The main entrance is double gated, and the large dog side has a gate at the rear of the park that is a single gate. Water fountains on both sides, both with a slow draining bowl for the dogs. There's usually plenty of poop bags available, I think left by the city, but also by previous visitors. People frequently leave balls and toys behind for other dogs to play with, too. They're are benches for the doggie parents, one group of benches under a shade canopy, one in the sun. There's lots of green grass, trees, shade, and a sand/dirt run. It would be nice if there were pools for the dogs like I've seen at other parks, but it seems like there are dog made "pools" on the large dog side almost every time in there if you don't mind your pup...
