I grew up 2 blocks from Tahoe Park. The park was where my brothers and I would play until the streetlights came on.

I played in that park from ages 5 to 18, so I spent a lot of time at that park as a child and as a teenager. We'd swim, picnic, do crafts at the clubhouse after school, ride bikes, or just sit and pluck grass while watching what everyone else was doing. I remember cheerleading my brother's baseball games there. The baseball diamonds are still there and in great shape.

I moved north of Sac when I was 18. We'd still visit Mama and have Memorial day, Easter or 4th of July picnics in the park. Eventually Mama moved north to be near her grandchildren, so it's been awhile since I've been back to the old neighborhood.

This past Sunday I visited a friend from Jr. High. It was a nice day, and going to the park seemed like the perfect way to pass a couple of hours and reminisce.

Tahoe Park hasn't changed much. Maybe the picnic tables were a little different. They were a sturdy metal (?). Back in the day they were wooden tables, with hundreds of initials carved on them. A few of those initials I carved myself.

From the moment I walked into the park, I felt like I was walking back in time. I could see myself as a child standing in line waiting for the pool to open.

Fifty years ago, walking through Tahoe Park was how we got to school. During the winter we'd get our shoes and socks and the bottom half of our Levi's really wet walking through the grass to get to school. It always took half the day for our pants to dry. Shoes and socks took longer, so we petitioned for (and won) the sidewalk that goes down the middle of the park. It's still there. I was proud to be a part of that sidewalk's existence. I still am.

The park was clean. Free of garbage laying around. Free from any paraphernalia that seems to be the norm in most parks these days. I didn't notice any graffiti.

It was great to go back to a park I'd gone to as a child, and have it be "untouched" by time, or population. There weren't any homeless people camped like there was throughout Sacramento these days. There were a few changes in the playground equipment, but they were probably updated for safety with the newest materials. I didn't use the restroom so I'm unsure of it's condition.

All around good day at a park that has stood the test of a half of century. Kudos to maintenance, the city, and other powers that be for keeping it the Tahoe Park I remember. Clean and wholesome. A place where you could send your kids to play and not worry. Parents usually only worried if they didn't come home when the ...

There are two great playgrounds, baseball diamonds, a sand volleyball area, basketball court and a pool.

Additionally, there's a track around the outside edge that's, .6 miles. There's Food Truck Mania when the weather's nice, summer movies and all kinds of meet ups, tons of places for birthday parties and barbeques, a gazebo covered area and great trees and therefore great shade (great at the big kid playground).

There are 2 water fountains and 2 bathrooms which are currently under construction.

If you're a Pokemon Go player, there are a few pokestops and a gym.

This park is great and nestled in this beautiful, vibrant, diverse Sacramento neighborhood. Make sure to visit in the fall -...
