The parking is horrendous. There's less than 10 spots for a park & nature preserve. We've tried to take our kids twice & had to leave due to inadequate parking. It's pure luck that anyone is able to find a spot & is ever able to actually enjoy this place. read more

Love this park! Especially with the zip lining. This is a very fun park for the kids and adult. The park came with some kids workout fun equipments. The workout equipment is very fun for kids and adult to play together. Then they also have a playground that kids can switch around. When u walk to the other side of the playground they have zip lining! It's super fun, The only down side is there is lots of poop, probably from people walking their dog and didn't clean up after. So make sure watch your step! Wish they can help keep the park clean. This is a very fun park ! Will be back if in the area. This is definitely hidden gem. read more

Super cool family park. Swing and play structures are cool. Shady walking trails. Kids had fun! read more

This is a really cool park that's also a nice walking and exercise trail. There are 2 small playgrounds for kids, a short zip-lining set, and many exercise stations around a half-mile creek trail. It's good for both kids and adults. read more

Homeless everywhere. Busy roads, small parking lot and no parking. Distance between playgrounds makes it extremely difficult to keep track of children. Sorry it's a horrible combination of things. Despite how beautiful the scenery is in the photos, AVOID this area at all costs. Will never return. read more

It is a gorgeous walk easy parking they have a very cool zip line that the kids LOVED the only bad thing was NO RESTROOMS read more

Arcade Creek Park Preserve - Nature - Parks Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

Arcade Creek Park Preserve is a much needed slice of nature in this urban area. It's an enjoyable place to take a walk and in the early morning it's particularly peaceful. Whenever I've driven past this park on a weekend afternoon it's always buzzing with families and birthday parties in the large covered picnic area. There's more than one play area and even a zipline for the kids. Other amenities to the park include a guided sensory audio tour that is separate from the multi-use path, an array of calisthenics equipment, and a large deck area shaded by the oak trees with information about the native plants in the preserve. There's also a restroom and drinking fountains. The park preserve appears to also be well-maintained. On the handful of occasions so far that I've taken morning walks here it has been really clean and there's usually a park employee blowing leaves and emptying trash cans. That said, the main path isn't illuminated and the park closes at dusk, so not exactly a place I would do an evening walk. If you're in the area, this park preserve is worth a visit. read more

Love this park! Our favorite playground in the area. Pros: Has a zipline for kids! (Adults can also try it) Has a sensory trail w sounds, educational materials etc. Has a tree house area Has workout equipment for adults Has toddler swings + 1 large seat one for schoolage kids Rubber bottom and not wood chips or sand Has picnic tables area w shade Cons: The only thing is that due to being right along sunrise blvd, it's super popular on the weekends and parking can be difficult. read more

Very pretty, better for walks on trails vs use of playground. Playground is nice but no shade for kids, only over seating. Very small parking lot read more

Last Tuesday on National Take a Walk to the Park Day my boyfriend and I took my daughter to this amazing park preserve her grandma Michele M recommend we should check out! Where do I even start!? They have plenty of playgrounds/play areas, exercise equipment for adults to get some exercise as well and lots of space to walk around and explore nature! We enjoyed watching her ride on the zip-line, swing on the swings, go down the slides and eyes lit up to blooming flowers, etc! I would highly recommend this park located here in Citrus Heights, my daughter had a blast, we will definitely be making a return visit soon while the weather is nice! read more

We try a new park every time trying to find the best one in the area. This one will be hard to beat. Definitely becoming regulars here and I'm not a big park guy. read more

Yep. I'm the one giving this park the 3 stars! My kids live it. They call it zipline park...cool. They have a great walking trail too with little play area stops along the way. The nature preserve aspect is very impressive! Here is the problem...rampant drug use! Literally EVERY TIME I am here there are people smoking weed, hooking up with their drug connect or something like that. I even found a loaded pipe under a bench on one visit. TRUE STORY. You can't make that up! On today's visit I had to wait for an open parking spot because there were 2 being occupied for a drug deal. Awesome! Another sight that makes me so excited for future leaders of this country..a mom with 3 kids under 8 and the 4th in a car seat..just sitting at the bench along side her kids just rolling up her blunt! She proceeds to let the older kids play while she takes her infant to the tree area to get high. Now, I saw you drive up with all 4 kids...you're driving home with them after this? Fabulous. Citrus Heights finest park..... read more

This park is very nice for the neighborhood it is in. It is a little sketchy when you are driving in as the neighborhood is not very nice. We visited with my young son and was hoping there would be more my husband could do with him. My son fit in the infant swing and loved it but the bigger swings had this bar contraption that held my husband in and made it impossible to hold my son with him. I can see how that would be good for older children. The slides are twisty which would also be good for older kids but not conducive for my husband and son to go together. As it is a pocket park there are no bathrooms, but there were porta potties which I didnt check out read more

I don't know how else to explain it other than calling it a "progressive playground"! There are several playgrounds / structures one after another along the bike bath. totally immersed in nature... just lovely! My kids of course LOVE the zip line the most! I'm deducting one star because we couldn't find a bathroom anywhere. When you have young kids, this is pretty important, IMO. read more

Arcade Creek Park Preserve - One of the playgrounds along the trail - Parks Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

I took my three year old grandson here and we loved it! What a great park! There are play areas, exercise equipment, nature trail, and even a zip line! Fabulous! We will be coming here often. The only issue I have is that there are no restrooms. read more

I am needing to the area, and was so delighted to have this adorable little Park just a half mile from our new digs! I have been studying for and exam and sitting on a Ben h here makes it much more bearable :) read more

Took my little sis and Goddaughter here, and it is a pretty impressive park. There is a lot of walking to do, and numerous park apparatuses for them to climb on and be interactive. I particularly like all of the information signs, i.e. what birds live there, creek life, etc. Them, not so much, but that could be close to education on the weekend, so I will cut them some slack. Now then, on to the main attraction: the zip line. Quite fun....and I was able to give both of them good starting pushes so that they went far. I was impressed that the line is strong enough to support adults as well, as we bumped into family friends and at the encouragement of our young-uns, we took a turn as well. I heard that, while the next day (yesterday) I had to go back to work, my little sis already made a return trip. As an adult, I would not mind spending another afternoon here as well. read more

This park is an adventure I wasnt expecting. Multiple Playgrounds, nature walk to explore, and a zipline this park is truly a different experience from other parks that your child will love. read more

We tried this park a few weeks ago and really like it. My daughter loves the seated/chair swing and the little zip line. The nature trails area plus as well. There is so much to do and I felt this was a really nice park. I do think the adult exercise equipment shouldn't be on the main play ground as for curious little ones, they can get hurt. I like the foam under the playground that gives them support and there is also a tree-house with a really curvy fast slide that my daughter absolutely loved. Next time we will have to bring her bike so we can make better use of the walking path. read more

Maybe not quite designed for young kids, but really nice to take a decent walk along the path and encounter little workout stations along the way. My son took his bike, and it was nice to jog along side him. He loved the tree-house playground and the zip line is pretty neat. read more

Nice little park with great walking paths. Plus you have the option of an audio tour.

Still a terrific park. I love the exercise equipment there and all the other features mentioned in previous reviews BUT the last time we went, the ZIPLINE WAS GONE! That was the big draw for us. So disappointed that it's no longer there! read more

We live in Roseville, but heard about how cool this park was so we gave it a try. Our son loves it- especially the zip line. The park itself is awesome, the tweakers and homeless not so much. I definitely wouldn't come here without my husband. Today, we saw tweakers having sex. Awesome. We'll be avoiding this park in the future. read more

I probably shouldn't say anything about this little hidden gem. You can see the playground from Sunrise Blvd, but you can't drive in from there. The playground itself is a good reason to take the little ones, but..... they also have adult exercise equipment and a nice hiking/jogging/biking trail with more for the kids and the adults. They even have a short zip line! So far everyone is very respectful of the whole pare and reclaimed nature area. This property was once just a dumping ground, now you can loose yourself in nature and forget that there's a busy street not far off. read more

This is a great place to bring young school age kids. There are different activities along a trail. Our favorite was the zip lines, but it will be closed for the first two weeks of Oct, 2017 for refurbishing. read more

This is a cool park - several play areas for the kids, a zipline all in a country setting. Sacto Cali Rocks hid some rocks today Jan. 6, 2018 though out the park. Spreading JOY one rock at a time! read more

Was cool to walk around. The kids loved the "adventure". Plus there were a lot of very cool looking caterpillars.

Our new favorite park!! We loved discovering all the foot prints and different play structures along the way. My 7 year old loves to read all the nature signs. Kids love the playground areas and zipline and I love the nature walk and exercise equipment. Can't wait to see this place after a big rain storm in early spring. Great outdoor adventure! read more

This park is a lot of fun! Took my 3 and 5 year old and the playground was perfect for their size. They also have some pretty sweet work out equipment. But the best part was the zip line!!!! How fun!! The kids could play on it forever. The park also has a trail that I didn't walk down but looks like it might have a lot of foot traffic from the surrounding neighborhoods. read more

We found ourselves with about an hour to kill before dinner and wanted to explore outside. This park is a gem. It encourages exercise by having little parks along the path and the zip line is a great feature! read more

We love this place! The zip line is the best! The walking paths are nice and the tree house is a very nice addition! They patrol the park and kick out the homeless guy that keeps sleeping under the spider Web thing! It's just a beautiful park! However, you have to drive through the extremely creepy neighborhood to get there! read more

This is a great park with the exception of the bums and drug deals that seem to frequent here. The park itself is wonderful, all the different activities for the kids are wonderful and it is very well kept up and cleaned. Un fortunately many dregs of society find this place very comfortable and will give you a sense of unease as they slink around on the outskirts of the play areas. read more

I'm sure the park is nice, but live in Apartments right behind it, just moved in. Its going to be a very Noisy Summer!

It's a nice park along the bike trail. There is a play area right by the parking and picnic area, you walk down a little ways on the bike trail you have the porta potty and zip line a little further. When we went 10/21 the zip line was still locked. After the zip line you have a tree house type play area. Exercise equipment by the front play area. Not a lot of parking but when we went no one else was there anyway. read more

The playground is nice, clean and has some cool unique features. My daughter's favorite part was the walking path - we had a great time. It's nicely paved so a stroller or bike would be easy to bring along. read more

They have a zip line that is 50-60 feet long! My kids loved it. Loved the nature walk. It is new and well maintained at the moment. The play structured are unique and they have exercise equipment for adults. read more
