For the playground I would probably rate it just ok 3 stars since it's really basic small playground for the kids. But overall is ok. They have three public restrooms, not a very clean one but that's most public restroom I guess. If you come here for the sports field you will really enjoy it.

I stopped by this park with my dog while in the Folsom area. I was looking for a dog park that I…read morecould let him run around in without getting too dirty, especially since it's been raining recently. This park is large and looks brand new, the playground supplies are modern and would appeal to many different age groups. There are also covered picnic tables, walking paths, and a small and large fenced in dog park. We parked in the large parking lot and headed straight to the large dog area of the dog park. It has a double gate which helps make sure none of the dogs get loose, and there are benches around the circumference including some covered for some shade. There is also a water station and dog bags and a garbage for waste. The dog park has wood chips all over it and is a bit hilly. The wood chip covering makes it harder to walk around, but does keep things from getting muddy even when it's raining. You'll want to watch your dogs closely because their poop could blend in with the brown chips and you'll want to find and pick it up so no one accidentally steps in it. My dog seemed to tire out faster than usual while we played catch, I think it was harder for him to run on the wood chips as well and I was a bit worried about him getting a splinter or a weird piece that might hurt his paws. Overall this was a very nice park that is well kept and next time I visit I'd like to explore the walking paths in the area.

The park opened up about a week ago. It's a busy place, lots of folks enjoying the park. It's the…read moreonly park south of Highway 50 in Folsom... so heck yes this place is packed as expected. The park has a parking lot, covered pavilion with picnic benches and BBQs, play area with two zip lines, dog park, one basketball court, two tennis courts, two volleyball courts, and a little league baseball field. But I noticed they don't have a lot of trees planted and the ones they do have are a puny. It will take several years for them to mature to provide shade. An important thing to note is that the basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts are by reservation. Reservations can be made online but cost money $$. 2 hours of volleyball cost $70 and 2 hours of tennis is $50 which is ridiculous! Sure folks can use the courts, without paying, until they're bumped out by someone showing up with a reservation. So this may cause some controversy. Plus good luck to you in using the courts. They've been busy nonstop since the park opened and there is no time limit for folks without reservations. They can bunker down all day long. There are no time limit restrictions. The volleyball courts are on astroturf. The baseball field has a caged bullpen right next to the dugouts. The dog park is fenced in with wood chips as ground cover, and separated by small and large dogs. There are ADA complaint paved walking paths around and within the park's perimeter. Along the path are doggie poop bags and recycle & trash cans making it very convenient to not be a litterbug.

This is a good park. It is about one mile of paved, wide, level, smooth paths…read more Loved the quiet neighborhood off Larwin with good sidewalks. Larwin has 6 different access points to the park. I liked that the creek was rather clean. The parking lot was also clean. Thankfully, it seems most dog owners pick up after their pups so that was a pleasant respite! Plenty of trash bins to facilitate. Overhead lights at end of the park near Smoke Tree Court were great - they brightened as you approached. The green grass is nicely maintained. I'm sure it helps to keep the soccer players and families happy! The two tennis courts were nicely lit at the Fair Oaks Blvd end of the park and looked in great shape. At 6:00 pm PST, in the dark, they were being used. Love that. Tennis courts are open until 10:00 pm.

One man's junk is another man's treasure as they say, we found ribbons, balloons, and sequins left over from birthday parties, a feather, leaves and flowers as well! Her project turned out just as she envisioned! I would recommend this renovated park that boosts 2 playgrounds with swing-sets, a restroom, water fountain, covered picnic benches that can be reserved, a little library, basketball court, soccer field, tennis courts and a walking trail. Our daughter had a blast with the friends she met on the playground and didn't want to leave! We'll be back! SYOY! :-)

Even at 8:15-8:30 PM on a weekday you can't see play more than one game before people start going up to you saying you can't stay on the court for yourself winner stays. Then they queue up and all and I watched someone just finish a game and queue but we were waiting a lot longer and there were complaints by not even the queue people who let us go ahead of them because some people were calling us out and getting upset that we didn't put our paddles in the board. Good (12) Pickleball Courts but they have exploded in popularity and you have to wait a long time or play later and later now. If it was just me, I'd wait later to play or go on off hours but friends rather go at certain times. Folsom should build more.

And I must say this is quite the park, from the beach volleyball courts, to the large sand box with a large playground, with a zip-line, slides, swings and all!

Any parent and child are sure to have fun at this park, just take a look at the little tour I put in the videos!

But the trail for golf seems over grown and very full of weeds and stickers that will attach to fluffy dogs if not careful. There were about 5 cars that looked like either someone was living in or very broken down. There were two people who were enjoying their day with chairs and their dogs off leash but didn't bother myself or my dog. It's a decent park and if you have kids the play ground looked fun!

However the new frisbee golf makes that kinda impossible for kids to hang out in the more trees/hills. I wish whoever was in charge of these parks was a little more conscious of where kids like to go when deciding to put the frisbee golf in, and what does that say about future decision making

Adj: Hilltop Handy Family Park with a Happy View…read more This is one of Folsom's hidden gems in our books. We visit Folsom to meet friends and to explore and do nature-type activities as well as shopping and discovered Handy Family Park on one occasion. Handy Family Park is apparently one of Folsom's most elevated parks. Set on a hilltop, it's a lovely neighborhood park. Though it's smaller compared to regional parks, it's actually pretty big, it's just that it's atop a hill so not all of the space is usable for sports courts, but all of it is scenic and most of it is recreational space. You can reach this park by taking the E. Bidwell exit on Hwy 50, and then it's a really quick drive past the Costco and the In-N-Out, then take Scholar Way, and it's at 1560 Cavitt Dr. You can't walk directly into the park from the parking lot b/c you have to go UP to the top of the "hill", so you can either take the stairs or there's a longer path/ramp for ADA accessibility. Thankfully, the bathrooms are at the start of the park/bottom of the stairs so those who need to use the restrooms can get to them without going into the park. Once you climb up, you're rewarded with an amazing overlook of several neighborhoods and the rolling hills of Folsom. I've only been here in the daytime, but I imagine that it'd be extra beautiful after dark when the lights shine and sparkle all over for a night view. The park offers a lighted baseball field, a huge soccer field, a basketball court, open fields for free recreation, and multiple walking pathways that wind around for a nice stroll throughout the park while you get a nice panoramic view no matter which way you look. In addition to the amenities above, there's a barbecue with a couple of picnic tables under a covered pavilion at the edge of the hilltop so it's really a nice place for a picnic or little party. There's also a couple of kids play structure (one for bigger kids and one for the littles). My kids enjoyed playing here and running around when they were younger, but we still like coming here whenever we're in Folsom b/c Handy Family Park got such a scenic view and it's usually not too crowded. It is always a great place to bring our own picnic and hang out as a family in "nature" not too far from all the conveniences of civilization.

The playground has a swing set, a small play structure which for them was perfect and a sports court! They have a Little Free Library that we'll be bringing some children's books to encourage reading for the little ones our next visit, since they currently have just 1 children's book! Lastly they have a rocks garden, "Kindness Rocks" for the kids to do some rock hunting and then return with their own painted rocks to add to the garden! We will be coming back to drop off some rocks we collected at work with her friends after we paint them! I would definitely recommend visiting this park with your family, we had a blast and will be back probably once a week!

This park is within walking distance of Cobble Hills Ridge Park, and, incidentally, most of the photos posted on this page appear to be for that park! I promise that the photos I posted are current-- I took them just a few hours ago :) The new playground is black and gray and neon yellow, and is very modern looking, in my opinion. The main structure has two slides, a climbing wall, and a twisting ladder. There is also a standalone net climbing structure that looks like a giant spider with a web. Just up the hill from the playground is a basketball court, but there is only a hoop on one side of the court. There is one barbecue pit located on the other side of the park, and an interesting water fountain in the front of the park that matches the modern theme. The park is mostly shaded by oak trees. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on leashes. Posted park hours are from 7am until one hour after sunset. There is a neighborhood watch sign in the park. I did not notice any bike racks. Overall, I thought this park was super cute. I would definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area with young kids.
