Very nice suburban park in Union City that has many features for the local community to use/access…read more Nestled between a big street (Dyer Rd) and a quiet residential, so it is quite spacious yet well laid out. It has curves so it isn't just a rectangle space. And I found the landscaping to be very clean and well thought out. Street parking only but I've never seen an issue with over crowding the residential. There's so much curb parking throughout the circumference that it spreads parking out. There is a war memorial here with plaques and towering flags. It is quite official looking and don't remember this years ago when I was younger. There's a small playground with a cool cement slide that kids love to zoom down on with cardboard underneath them. There's a basketball court, 6 tennis courts and 2 baseball/softball fields. All available for the community to use. I got reacquainted with this park as I parked once and ate a lunch on a bench on a beautiful spring day. I took a short walk around the park for a little exercise and took in the scenery and features. I eventually came back to practice on this massive tennis wall where you can hit into this wall and the ball just comes right back. A way to practice/work out without a partner. Except I used it for pickleball which I am trying to learn. It's helped me out immensely even with just a few visits. I don't live in this town but I live less than 3 miles from here. I have parks nearer to me but none have these specific features that's been attracting me as of late. It is clean, peaceful and vibrant with community activity and to that I can only show some love. Easy fiver!

Found a hidden gem park today Not too crowded, so kids…read moredon't have to wait and can play freely The highlight is definitely this concrete slide! Fast and super fun--kids absolutely love it and don't want to stop Tip: bring a piece of cardboard, it makes sliding smoother and even more fun! What we like: Clean and newer picnic area Restrooms available (very convenient!) Plenty of parking Heads up: Not much shade and limited seating, so bringing a picnic mat is a good idea Overall, a relaxing and low-crowd spot for kids to run and play Perfect for after school or a chill weekend outing Veteran's Memorial Park - Hall Ranch 4525 Dyer St, Union City, CA 94587

He is good and thorough at spotting areas for improvement and has a great way of explaining what needs to change to make it better. He sees it and immediately knows what is wrong.

Rather than just settle with the bad patterns I bring on the court, he is relentless and patient in changing my habits and making me a stronger player. He is super encouraging too. I highly recommend JP!

They are all fenced off as to not interfere with the soccer field and the surrounding areas look well cared for. Directly around the tennis courts looked to be large amounts of weed killer sprayed.

I wasn't sure if it would be open , or if there would be lights for night tennis, but it was and lights too! YAY the fitness gods must be looking down in my favor :) There are 4-5 courts and there was one open for us! We played for about an hour from 8:30-9:30. The courts are in pretty good shape and we parked at the park next to the courts. The park ranger came around 9:30 to tell us we need to move our car since the park closes at 9. I am not too sure what time the courts close , and there are no times posted Note: Park in the residential area next to the courts for a closer walk.

Are we in the Philippines? It sure felt like it playing tennis here. For being public courts, these…read moresix lighted courts are well maintained. There is also a hitting wall, so you can practice while waiting for your partner. We noticed and heard mostly a Tagalog-English speaking crowd of men playing social singles and doubles. In fact, except for us - visiting out of towners - seems like everyone there knew each other. If you live in the area and need to play, I'm sure they'd be more than willing let you join in if you're an average player. I doubt they'd be too excited playing with a novice or advanced player. When I say social tennis, winning isn't the top prioirty. It's having a good time while playing with friends. There will be plenty of commentary about the weather, politics, people, and some kidding trash talking about you personally and your tennis skills. My brother was getting ready to play a tournament (not here) so we practiced hard. We were fairly quiet except for occasional motivational words uttered like, "Ah he!!, d@m_ it, etc. The courts around us, we heard trash talk from these mostly old men like: "Ay nako, pangit ang service mo" which means "Oh man, what an ugly serve!" Of course, they let out a big laugh especially if the trash talker makes a mistake. "Mahina ang forehand mo, parang babae!" which means, "Your forehand is weak, dude, like a girl.." Of course, they know that girls like Serena Williams has a harder forehand than any of them! Some days, the courts are just super crowded, especially Saturday and Sunday mornings before noon. For some reason, at the sun's apex, a lot of them go back home and drink beer while watching Manny Pacquiao re-runs. It gets busy other times, too but those early morning hours it's nuts. For free, though, these courts are hard to beat.

Picnic tables scattered throughout the park, with lots of beautiful trees providing shade over most of the park. There are two adjacent playground areas. One side has a large caterpillar to climb on, along with a dinosaur teeter-totter and baby swings (only, no regular swings) The other side has another big playground structure, along with this rock formation that wraps around it. My kids mainly enjoyed climbing the rock formation that had little 'caves' that they played house in forever! Basketball courts, tennis courts as well. The only awful thing about this park is how absolutely vile the bathrooms smelled, like worse than most porta-potties.

Apparently, management chooses not to manage that issue. You need some fresh teachers and new classes in the exercise room. Same old boring stuff. Get some actual Mixxed Fit, U-Jam, or other classes with fresh choreography and music. It's like a senior center in there, which would be fine as far as the seniors, but even seniors like to do NEW choreography. At least pre-pandemic when Bob was teaching Zumba, he kept up with new routines. That's why his Monday night class was packed. There was actual choreography.
