Cherry Grove Park — Attraction in San Leandro

a review from @amom2kidsandapark

This is such a popular weekend spot so if you want less of a crowd the key is to go on a weekday morning! This park is so great because not only does it have one awesome playground… it has two (and the second is almost completely gated 💯💯) The park has so much grass with picnic tables and bbqs throughout, a basketball court and tennis courts. The two play areas are near each other with two swing sets plenty of sidewalk for chalking and picnic tables in between. The smaller play area is almost completely gated. There is just one opening entrance without gate. In the play area there is the structure and a big blue rocking ride on car (comfortably fits two). The structure has two slides (a straight and double), steps, ladders, a chain wall, monkey bars, and a mini climbing wall. The larger area has a structure, a balance beam, a spinning disc, and a finger park perfect for race cars or tech decks (are those still a thing?). The structure has two slides (spiral and a double. The spiral is odd. It starts as a sidewinder and then starts looping. 🤨) steps, ladders (including chain ladders), a bridge, monkey rings (two sets, one is hidden under the bridge), a standing swing just barely above the ground (it was pretty fun. I haven’t seen this before), a firefighter pole and a lot of opportunity for rock climbing. Maybe you can tell from the pictures. The weather changed pretty quickly from grey to blue. It’s near 880 and less than 2 miles from the shore so expect varying weather… but isnt that kinda how it always is every where 🤷‍♀️ There is a parking lot and there...

Great park! Brought my 2 year old here. Friendly moms and dads all around. Wide sprawling grass areas with almost 360° view of the park. That's a big deal to me in a park because kids like to run off. I loved the shade and picnic tables. Also a huge plus was the 2-5 year-old park which was surrounded by a little gate corraling the kiddos into a specific area. Also seems to be free and clear of homeless people at least during the hours of 12pm - 5pm. It's got a pretty cool 8-12 year-old park as well with a climbing wall and swings. Definitely one of my favorite places to bring the kids. Only con is the bathroom is pretty yuck! But seems pretty consistent with most...

Play equipment in great shape. Two play areas - one for younger children and another for older. Younger area is fenced. Basketball court. Two swing areas. Lots of picnic tables and benches. Clean bathrooms. Playing/soccer fields. Tennis courts. Several parking areas and two overflow areas at local adult school and middle schools. Lots of grassy areas and trees for shade in summer. Paved areas for walking,...
