Visited here back in 2021 and spent the whole day hiking and exploring, plus picnic in nature and…read moreabsolutely loved it, this place does get crazy busy, and lots of tourists, but it was a great experience overall, they do run out of parking spots, and there isnt a lot of shade, but lots of rolling hills, cows, nature, and in the future would love to return

Got to the parking lot at 8 am on a March Saturday and the parking lot was already half full…read more Come early! Some portions of the trail are rocky. Hiking sticks are helpful on the rocks and steep sections. Lots of mixed wildflowers. Cows were at a distance. Some muddy spots. Hardly any shade along the trail except in the ravine. By the time we headed back, the crowds were significant. Cars were parked all along the road. I would be surprised if no one got tickets.

We camped here for 2 days and 1 night because it was half way between our first day hike at Table…read moreMtn and the following day hike at Sutter Buttes. Plus it's damn cheap at $10/night as of 4/1/07. There is a reason it's cheap though. Nothing much there. You pay at the campsite host before you enter the park. Pick a spot driving down the middle road. We got space #22. It's about 100 yards from a pit toilet. There is a faucet for running water at our campsite. There are plenty of tables nearby to eat at and a view of the river not too far away. This is the cheap-bastard way of camping, not for everyone and glad it was only for 1 night. my pics above.

For my son's 12th birthday party, we rented a cabana for the 3 hour deluxe Aqua Park party package…read more I loved that all we had to bring were the people. The package included food, snacks, and drinks, and they let us store our ice cream cake in the freezer. This obstacle course is SO MUCH FUN. Everyone was laughing and screaming. We felt like Dude Perfect! When we got tired, there were so many options to recharge: giant chess or cornhole, watching the wakeboarders, or just sunning on the turf beside our cabana. I noticed a lot of the negative reviews are about the water quality. This is not a pool, so the water is not clear; it has vegetation; and stocked fish control for mosquitoes. Since we already read about this online, we were neither surprised nor grossed out. It was a fun day outdoors! The office staff were super warm, hospitable, and accommodating. Even as we added to our food order last minute (because I saw how active the kids were being... they were ravenous!), they flexed with our request. The pizza was hot; the fruit was refreshing. We felt so well cared for! Safety-wise, I'm glad we brought older kids, mostly very strong swimmers, and vigilant parents. The course is large, and there are spots that are invisible from the lifeguards' posts. We had to initiate with the lifeguards a few times because they weren't giving us any information/direction. (eg: Can we start? Where do we start? Any rules we need to know? Are you still on break, or can we go in again?) They did not seem to have a system for the lifejackets. They were sleepy and eager to clock out. This is the first open weekend of the season; I trust they will establish consistent group protocols as the summer goes on. We had a great time and mostly guarded our own kids. We are eager to return again someday soon! THANK YOU for such a memorable, creative, raucous birthday party in the sun!

Although I love my big trees at Condon Park in Grass Valley I still thought this was a really nice park! We used the bbq and enjoyed the nice scenery (went early before it got hot). There is access to the river with a boat ramp. Tons of picnic areas! The grass is still green and well maintained ! I saw a few people trying to catch fish. Plenty of shady areas to enjoy your lunch! There is also play areas for the kiddos! Bathrooms were fairly clean. This place was well thought out with roundabouts and well marked exits. Walking paths ate pretty flat and they have ample amount of parking..including handicapped parking. I would definitely visit this place again. I would recommend going morning or afternoon to be on the safe side! Ps. They have LIVE music on Thursday nights when we get closer to summer!

While I was waiting to get clarification, I was approached by a security guard who told me to leave the parking lot. I was surprised by how unkind and unnecessarily harsh the interaction was--especially since I was clearly a mom with small children trying to understand the situation. I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome. There's no sign posted at the park to say it's closed for several weeks, and it's clearly not posted online either. Just so everyone is aware, it is closed until July 12th for 2025. Churches are meant to be safe spaces, and this experience left a lasting impression I truly hope leadership addresses.
