The size of the field allows my dog to run around without getting too close to the playground where kids are or the basketball courts where people might be playing. It seems like the park is kept relatively clean. I went one week and there was a lot of goose poop everywhere. The following week, the whole field was clean--no poop anywhere.

My son loves the play structure/jungle gym here. Much better than other parks and outdoor play…read moreplaces. They really need to update the jungle gym at the Union Landing park near the Regents Blvd neighborhood. My son got bored there so we headed here. He enjoys the mini Rock climbing section, the tube slide, the High slide, the bridge (which he calls the troll bridge ..lol thanks to Dora The Explorer) and the mini tunnels. I love the soft surface. "A plus plus" for that!!! I hate sand or bark at jungle gyms. Having the soft surface seems much more sanitary. I thought the little spinning pole thingys ..(forgive me, I don't know what they are called lol) are pretty cool. The basketball court are is also really nice. I would of given this park 5 stars but minus one star because I wish they had benches, tables and a BBQ area. This would of been a nice place to have a small party or get-together.

A review from amom2kidsandapark.com…read more Located in a neighborhood just off of Mission Blvd in Fremont is simple yet packed with fun park. The two story structure has two slides (a sidewinder and a tunnel) from the top story (only accessible by ladder) and a small double side from the lower level perfect for the smaller kiddos. There are plenty of chances for climbing on various ladders and the sphere just off to the side of the structure. My kiddos particularly liked the caged over hang from the top story and throwing a ball up the ladder. I gotta get a ball. They had the best time playing with a ball on the structure. Who woulda known. Close by is a standard swing only swing set and on the other side of the hilly grass center is a full basketball court. Hilly grass=no kick ball Across the residential street we found a little free library with lots and lots of books! It was a great add to our outing. No bathrooms.

One of the best parks in Fremont; everyone can come together and enjoy!…read more This park is incredibly huge -- love the open space! There is a basketball court, field, and also a play structures for kids to play. It's a big space; it's not cluttered. There are grills and tables for bbq. Lots of trees as well. The bathrooms are available for men and women, they're cleaner than what I would have expected from a public park. There is a parking lot available as well as street parking. It's a fairly safe park; perfect for all ages!

A great park for get togethers and parties but also good for the daily decompression…read more With its large grassy area, two interactive playgrounds for kids of all ages, basketball courts, two parking lots and plenty of street parking, and decent bathroom and drinking water facilities, Karl Nordvik Park is a popular one and brings in many of the locals and residents nearby. Tucked behind the semi-public sports field typically used by organized sports teams, the park is easily accessible with plenty of parking spots. The ramps make it easy to load and unload passengers and stuff for your day out. The picnic tables and barbecue pit is great for hosting mealtime and celebrations but we found that the grassy field was just as good if you have a canopy available. The flooring is quite flat and well maintained for the most part. If you have children with you, the playgrounds offer ample space for them to imaginary play and work on body control. The flooring is padded so no worries about splinters from bark. They have a smaller dedicated playground for younger children that has slides and climbing structures. Swings are found in the middle and are low enough for younger children to clamber on. A rope structure offers some more advanced climbing and the larger structure has some taller slides for those thrill seekers. I found that the basketball courts are typically taken but if you're looking for players, you'll have your pick here! The bathrooms are accessible and are relatively well maintained. There's also a water fountain if you didn't bring your own fluids. Overall, Karl Nordvik Park is a solid park for children, families, and sports enthusiasts. The park has been around for a long time and it's been upgraded recently and it seems to also be better maintained since. If you need a place to relax or looking to embark in some park related activities, Karl Nordvik is conveniently located near the bridge and highway as well as many residential properties. Come check it out but be sure to bring your sunblock!

Big, spacious fields and upgraded playground area for all kinds of outdoor play and activities -…read moreall made available conveniently in north Fremont. Just a street away from supermarkets, cafes and popular eateries, Northgate Community Park is a common suggestion in between errands, especially if it involves playgrounds. It's also just a few blocks from the highway entrance which makes this place an easy meet up spot for out of towners. Parking is abundant in the private lot but also plenty available along the street. The kids have a great time here due to the open play area and variety of modalities within the play structures. The play structures were recently upgraded and includes swings, slides, climbing walls, ropes, balance beams and steps. The ground is all padded and there are plenty of benches for those looking to have a comfortable vantage point to keep an eye on your little ones. For field activities, they have two large grass fields frequently used as cricket fields with some local pick up games. The perimeter is also very walkable with paved sidewalks for those looking for a route for their four legged furry friends. Basketball courts are also available but pretty limited. For families looking for a spot to hang, they have a nice picnic area with benches and tables, however, it's not shaded so you may want to bring your own covering or find a spot on the grass instead. There aren't that many spots so you may also want to come early to reserve them or go through the city to secure a spot. They had bathrooms before but I believe they were under maintenance when we last visited and they only had the portable potties available. Overall, Northgate Community Park has some of the most unique playground structures and best maintained in the area. Its location is also a highly travelled one for those aiming to couple the day outside with a meal or some productivity. This quiet park is frequented by locals and you're bound to meet some new friends from the neighborhood!

Another decent park in central Fremont with a large open field and small playground for older…read morechildren. With its many picnic tables and trees offering shaded cover, this is a great spot to host a party or large get together. Although there doesn't seem to be a dedicated parking lot, it neighbors a school that does have a lot and there are plenty of spots along the street. The road isn't too busy but there are occasional cars that roll through to commute between parts of Fremont. The playground itself boasts a multitude of modalities including climbing structures (rock wall, ladders, stairs, rope), monkey bars/rings, and slides. Based on the height and strength needed for some of the activists, I would say children between the ages of 4 and 12 would have a good time. The flooring is padded rubber so it's easy on the feet and falling children. The play area is surrounded by a raised concrete wall that is just wide enough to be used as a balance beam. Do take care, however, as the flooring outside the barrier is concrete so it isn't the most safe activity area. The field is huge and has large areas for soccer, kickball, soccer and other field sports. The grass is kept pretty short and it's decently maintained. There may be some uneven spots but for the most party, they've been filled. Overall, Blacow Park is conveniently located near schools and shopping malls which makes it a great spot for a quick break, and the size of the space is suitable for a larger gatherings. The field is certainly a highlight due to its vacancy but the playground is great as well due to its variety of activities and being upkept.

The walkway is quite nice and winds around and through different elevations, its much larger than it looks. Right now mustards are blooming and its very nice, the walkway also brings you to redwoods, etc...At the very far end where the bench is you can proceed onto a dirt path that goes under two huge power line towers like a scene from a movie. There is also a path on the right which leads to the closest connected neighborhood. The kids and I like this walkway a lot and enjoy it more than the standard injection molded playset. No parking lot, you can park at the school next to it or the street. Best to come early morning to avoid the crowds. We like coming here over the playgrounds at Central Park since its less crowded.
