The kids ran straight into it, climbing and sliding while music-themed sculptures and colorful nets spread out all around like sound waves frozen in time. Paco Sánchez Park felt alive. Every corner had a nod to rhythm and history--vinyl records in the sidewalk, chimes on the bridge, even the playground looked like it was mid-song. It's more than a park--it's a tribute to community and culture, loud and proud. A little scruffy in spots, sure, but full of soul.

Came on an early Friday afternoon so it was busy but not overwhelmingly so. Lots of age ranges (ours was the littlest but the big kids were very respectful) and so many fun water features that cater to a wide array of ages and comfort levels. Very clean and well cared for with plenty of shady picnic tables adjacent to the splash pad. Once we finished getting soaked (parents who need to be near their little one, note you will absolutely get drenched) we tried off in the playground which was also top notch. Lots of cool features and again, clean and cared for. When we needed a break from the sunny swings, there were more shaded picnic tables next to a huge grassy field. The charcoal grills are also huge. You could spend a whole day here, easy. I can't wait to come back for more fun memories!

Very bike-able going through on the nearby trail and all the sidewalks are wide for strollers, dogs, walking groups, and people biking or skating along. Really enjoy the design and open layout of this park. I've seen a few birthday parties hosted at the nearby tables adjacent to the playground. Still even on the weekends the park never seems to be over crowded. Even in the heat of summer the water features next to the playground are in use but not swarmed. Lots of nice businesses nearby you can walk to so a great location all around. Certainly one of the premier parks in the local area.

You can park all around the park though and it's a very walkable and quiet neighborhood. They have bleachers for the main baseball diamond. Parking directly adjacent for the parents and team coaches. Only a few trashcans unfortunately. Otherwise it's a nice park for a quiet morning or weekend to get out with your dog or kids. The park isn't fenced in but the basketball area is all fenced in. Brought a dog here and we played fetch off leash with no issues. Couple of squirrels and a few rabbits at times. Otherwise it's just a park when baseball games are not going on. Think if you live nearby you'd walk over often. Wouldn't go out of the way just to come to the park though.

You can hang out in the nice shaded table area, the bleachers by the baseball field, and I've even found solace in swinging on the swings when there are no children present.

The layout is well thought out where the play structures for big kids are separated from those for the little tots. Dave B said it jacks up property values. I suppose that is true as proximity to this park was a definite plus when my wife and I were considering the purchase of our nearby home. I really could not ask for anything more in a neighborhood park so I'll round it up to 5 stars.

Very open, clean, and spacious park. I love the dead and barren trees in November, we don't get that in California and paired with the cold, it feels weirdly nostalgic of something I've never had and warming on the inside (yes, I'm insane). I also passed by a lot of joggers and dog walkers in the mid morning. Very safe. I passed by 2 small lakes with some water fowl nearby, standard mallard ducks and Canadian geese. Very calming. Saw a couple squirrels too. Not a bad medium sized city park.

Atmosphere and Scenery The atmosphere at City Park is very…read moreromantic and calm. It is a nice place to walk around with family and friends. Or to just play at the park, and a lot of people go there for running, biking, or playing soccer. One of the best things about this park is that it did not smell bad. I noticed because I know some parks have a stinky smell, but this one did not. Even though we went during the summer, it wasn't super hot and there were not a bunch of bugs for that time of year. Crowd The crowd depends on when you go and if there is an event happening. It was not crowded at all on the day we went because we went during the week. However, I know during certain times of the year they have jazz in the park and it gets super packed. Most of the time, everybody pretty much minds their own business or they are friendly, but if you go for an event, you should plan ahead accordingly. Price: This location is completely free to go to since there is no park entrance fee or anything. Even the jazz in the park events are free and really neat, which makes it a great spot if you are looking for a nice place that is laid-back and free to enjoy. Parking and Transportation: There are plenty of places to park during a normal day, but when we went to jazz in the park during the summer, it did take some time to find a spot. You should make sure to show up early so that you can find parking. If you live a little bit away, you might want to take an Uber, or you can just walk or ride your bike if you live close enough. Overall Experience: My husband and I went right before sundown to do a picnic and painting date that also served as a photo shoot. We had someone set this up for us and we paid for it, so it was very convenient because we just showed up and followed their instructions. It was a great time to go because it wasn't very busy and the lighting was perfect. I think it is a good spot to have a photo shoot or a cute picnic date because it has such a romantic feel to it. We had a really fun time and I highly recommend this place.
