This is a large, beautiful park in the middle of a housing development nice homes. There are restrooms next to the jungle-themed splash park and playground. There is a full basketball court and a really nice skate park with lots of grinding rails and steps as well as bowls and hills. My grandsons had fun with their scooters but it would be awesome for skateboarders. There is a small amphitheater with a cement slab stage and terraced grass with lots of concrete picnic tables with shade structures over them. This is a great park. read more

This is one of our favorite parks in Elk Grove. I love to pull up a camping chair and sit in the shade. There is a lot of shade on the grass, the play structure has shade in the early afternoon. There is a water feature that is typically working from Memorial Day weekend (or beginning of June) to about Labor day (although it stays hot in our area well until October!) unfortunately the water feature is outdated and / or breaks down often. Last year, the water feature was down a lot in May/ June and again in August / September. 5/5 rating for the park for grass, shade, trees, (mostly up-kept and safe) play structure, restrooms (bring your own soap, and the toilets clog very easily). 2/5 rating for the water feature: It is being out dated, and the schedule of it being open is unreliable. read more

Nice park that looks well-maintained. The ramadas would be great for a group picnic event! They look interesting like modern architecture. Some of the water spray features are clever and interesting-looking. (They look like modern art pieces.) It's a pleasant place to walk a dog near large green lawns with nice plant beds. I hadn't even known this existed before. I wá in the area and needed a safe place to take my pooch and this fit the bill. read more

Derr-Okamoto Community Park - I feel disgusted and disappointed. - Parks Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Tried to bring the kids here 2 weekends ago. There splash pad is currently closed. Undergoing construction. Such a bummer.

For the last three years my family have been using this park for birthdays and other celebrations. It's clean, looks brand new and a lot of space to have a large party. There's a playground and open space to play. Nearby there's a skating area. Lots of parking place. The picnic table party area has patio covering too. I even went here to just hangout for a few hours with my cat. I did crafts on one of their picnic tables and my cat napped the entire time. A nice place to unwind. read more

Out of the way, clean and safe. Park has something for all ages. Rented the picnic area for my son graduation party. Needs more shaded areas is my only suggestion read more

This is a nice place.. its been twice that i've come and i was lucky to have it to myself.. i love how everything is set up.. the bowls are a perfect flow.. i can spend hours here and i'm getting pretty good. I recommend this place but i hope it doesn't get too crowded it ruins the experience. read more

OMG!!! Perfect spot for those little tikes that need to come out and stretch. Plenty of jungle gyms, grass area, benches, covered BBQ's. It was clean and tidy and I would imagine in the summer months this place is packed due to the nifty water fountains. We saw at least 4 Birthday parties going on and 3 with large inflatable bounce houses. Rubber matting makes it a safer options for falls and also the steps and jungle gym areas are large enough for adults to climb up as well, in case you would like to participate with your children. Ample shade provided by some of the trees and bench areas. We parked on the street but this is a residential location so be mindful and respectful of the home owners. Respectfully Reviewed read more

People at skate parks have been telling me about this skate park for a while, asking if I've been. When I've been in the general area, I've been on the way to somewhere else. Today, we were looking for many skate parks along the way to Sacramento and this one seemed a good idea after we got lunch. Unfortunately, I overestimated the exit, and we ended up taking a trip partway back from Elk Grove Blvd. It seemed to be out in the middle of nowhere, but it is next to a housing development. The navigation to it wasn't entirely helpful, but I kept remembering what people said "the one with the palm tree", which provoked a memory of a photo. It was instantly visible toward the end of the street. There is a street section--ledges and more to grind at the close end. The vert section, including a dual-faced wall that bridges the sections. The bowls of the vert section aren't extremely deep but there is an odd portion where it seemed to be disconnected part that was corrected after construction that can be difficult to skate. It's an abrupt bump along the wall. The concrete isn't particularly smooth. The few people who were there were friendly. I didn't see any rules. read more

Looking at the skate park from the parking lot I could already tell it was going to be fire. The section on the left with ledges and rails is scrumptious. The roll-ins and bowls were great. The quarter pipe manny pad and the quarterpipe next to it was fire and the stairs were pretty cool. Nice skatepark :) ! ! ! read more

Great park overall. Love the squishy mat. My son had fun until a spinning structure spun him too fast. I recommend avoiding the small spinning structure that looks so non-threatening. read more

One of the few free public water parks in Elk Grove. Playground, baseball field, kid-friendly water zone and lots of seating space. Great to host a kids party or baby shower! You can reserve a covered patio area for a small fee. Clean public restrooms and plenty of parking available. read more

I've been on a mission to find a good Park for my little ones since moving here. This is not close enough to us to go all the time but a super fun and clean, well maintained park! Love the theme and the animals! Good fun teaching moment pointing out the animals to my little guy. My toddler had the best time here and loved it. The water feature was a nice surprise too we weren't prepared so little one was stripped down to his diaper so he could go nuts splashing around! He had a blast albeit the strong chlorine smell after! Everything was in working order, love the squidgy ground to break kiddies falls and feels good on your feet!! Wished we lived closer!! read more

My daughter's favorite park in Elk Grove. She loves the openness of the fields, the playground, skatepark, basketball hoops. It's nestled in a fairly quiet neighborhood and you don't hear all the hustle and bustle like some of the busier parks. read more

Another hot day in Sacramento so had to hit up a splash pad with my 3yo and his 12yo cousin. This place is AWESOME! I love the jungle theme, the splash pad, & the play structure! So many different structures that kept my LO entertained. So much for the kids to do while staying cool. Nice shady places to sit and still be able to see everything whether choosing the benches or a nice spot in the grass. I could see us spending hours here! We'll definently be coming back soon and frequently. read more

Such a nice park. Has a toddler section that was just right for my almost 2 year old. The sprayground looked really fun bit was not on whem we went. We are planning to head back to try it out in the near future. Overall such a cute clean park read more

I just called Elk Grove Parks and Rec and they stated this is the only water park open at this time. 916-405-5300

This park has a jungle theme. It has restrooms, playing fields for soccer, tables for picnics or parties, concrete walkways perfect for walks and is next to a skateboard park. We come here to watch our daughter play soccer and our little ones to enjoy the park. There are bleachers here for spectating but unfortunately no covering from the sun. Bring umbrellas because there are no trees for shade and it gets hot! This is a really nice park for the whole family! read more

One of the newest and best park in EG...love going there with my family...tons of play things to keep kids busy...nice and clean...

I absolutely love this park! Separate playgrounds for big and little kids, soccer fields, covered seating with BBQs, splash park...it was the perfect (affordable) place to have my son's 4th birthday party. The bathrooms are very nice for a park and are right by the covered seating. We used the grill to do brats and burgers and everyone had a great time! Perfect park for families in EG! read more

My 2.5 year old loves this park! There's 2 separate jungle gyms, one for little kids and one for big kids, so it's nice to know your little one won't get trampled by big kids. The water is also a really cool feature! You could easily spend the day here. read more

Living around the corner from this park is great. Can go play basketball with kids and then get soaked in the summer. We reserved it a few times for birthdays and bbqs. read more

I love the jungle theme the kids call it the zoo park. Different play structures for big and little kids plus they have the toddler /baby swings at this park. There is a nice walking trail where people walk their dogs, jog and bike. They also have a large picnic area that are all nicely shaded with clean barbecue pits. Park looks very clean and kept up real well. Lots of families and kids enjoying the the park, very safe and quite location. The spray ground is packed at noon, a camp release all their kids. My shy boy likes coming here early in the morning so he can check things out without all the screaming kids read more

Rented out the large covered area for my daughter's first birthday. I like that the spray ground and play structures are so close and within view of the rented site. My only complaint is that the sites are not cleaned up before each party. There were cupcakes on the ground and chicken bones scattered on the tables which appear to be left from the party the day before. Not that big of a deal because it is a park. If you are interested in renting out one of the three covered sites, I suggest you do it early because they get booked especially from June through August. read more

I have lived by this park during its construction, the park has gone down hill. Constant pot smokers,irresponsible parents, people never use the parking lot. It just made the neighborhood worse read more

I love this park. It's great for kids to run around and get some exercise. There are two playground areas. One for the little kiddos and one for older kids. There are many tables and benches to sit at. There is a lot of grass around too which I love to run kids around on the soccer field to tire them out. The neighborhood is also great. You can tell this park is well maintained. read more
