There's a fun little playground, picnic tables, public art, walking paths, and lots of events! In the past, it's hosted Sactown MoFo, Chalk It Up, and an amazing light saber battle on May the 4th. To all you Star Wars fans, the force was with us that night. It's situated in a nice neighborhood and surrounded by some great bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. I recently wandered by and saw a temporary art installation called Fremont Park Bloom. It was a pleasant and colorful addition to the park. It's a park with a lot to offer, even without any events. Enjoy!

If an area is reserved you'll see signs up for the timing. When there are bigger events the parking nearby tends to fill up, but when there aren't events you can usually find plenty of free parking nearby. The park has a basketball court, baseball field, tennis courts, picnic tables, disc golf, a skate park, a nice playground and even a pool. There are paved paths and there are multiple areas that are great for entertaining groups, including a stage area. They pack a lot into a relatively small area and while there's a lot to do it won't take you long to walk around. While we were walking around a family was having a party and plenty of people were utilizing the different areas for sports. There were also some people walking their dogs, like us, but some people had their dogs off leash in some of the bigger areas. There wasn't a dog park area. it was beautiful while we were there and everything was clean and well kept.

I came through here with my son and some friends. It's at the end of a dead end street nestled away in the middle of the neighborhood, so for those who have never been before it might be a little hard to find. The whole place is on the smaller side compared to some of the massive parks downtown, but what it lacks in space it makes up for with a great play structure and solid facilities. My son loved playing for hours and I loved that he was happy! Consider this next time you are looking for some place in the area to take the kids so they can blow off some steam.

The water levels were definitely high, with concrete pathways leading directly  into the water at some parts. But there is a public dock designed to rise with the water, so we were able to walk along the pier to enjoy some of the views while standing over the water (Old Sac waterfront, Delta King, Tower Bridge). We even saw (and heard) sea lions jumping onto the end of the dock, stretching out, playing, and relaxing, it was adorable! Back on land we walked along the trail on higher ground, watched the geese feasting on the plentiful grass, and admired the trees and nature all around. We even passed by the Subtile artwork by Federico Diaz and loved how it fit into the surroundings. The park and trail provided a calm and simple environment, and was clean for the most part (though underneath the bridge seemed a bit uninviting), and we appreciated every moment of our Sunday afternoon here. Parking was free and easy on Waterfront Place, near the Ziggurat (pyramid looking building).

I'll definitely go back though.

The four stages are spread out all over the park with the first one literally underneath a freeway overpass. The other three are tucked away deeper into the park. The bar and food setup here are stellar. Finally a festival where the bars lines are almost existent and the food offered is more than just frozen pizza and hot dogs. My only complaint would be the entry and exit situation. It's two lane road that is part of the bridge over the river. So, it can take a while to leave since this is the only one main location to get out. It was so crowded, that we had to walk pretty far down the road just to catch our uber. Plenty of open grassy areas with tons of places for shade. Put on the suncreen!

When there are events being put on it seems the park is kept very clean and ready for people, not sure about the other days of the year. The last time I came here was for the Sol Blume festival in 2023. The event was held in August instead of the original date in April I believe due to the park flooding. So that's something to keep in mind, the park does flood when we are experiencing heavy rainfall! I'll have to spend more time at the park throughout the year to get a better sense of the area.

One of the better parks to go to in the summer as there is a shade and lots of trees keeping it cooler than most parks. Parking can be a bit iffy as Folsom is a bo parking zone and 42nd St serves the residents who need to park so on busy days or events (like the holidays) it can be tough to find parking.
