I was playing at the park all day and then we played soccer ball and we were right around the place, 10 times and play soccer ball and that's it read more

Took the kids to this park while in town visiting some family over the holiday weekend. It's a huge park with bike and skating ramps, a really nice soccer field and I believe there was a playground on the other side as well that we never made it over to. They also have park benches and tables with BBQs so you can make a whole day out of it - I saw a few families taking advantage of it! There's not a ton of shade around the tables so I suggest bringing a pop-up if you can. Parking lot is decent sized and they do have porta potties! We'll be back again next time we visit the area! read more

Great park! Went there for the Skatepark . My son who loves to ride his scooter was nervous to go on this pump track. There was about 15 kids ages 10-14. All stopped riding to help him go and cheer him on. It was really cool. read more

The track is broken and too slippery I got hurt many times all my friends did too. I do not recommend for anyone who does not want to die

This park is in dire need of some TLC. I had booked a birthday party here and I was almost regretting we chose to is spot. There is plenty of parking and the restrooms were clean and the rangers were nice. The actual park is in need of some remodeling. The grass is brown and dry, tons of foxtails. The children's park was closed off and not accessible, the baseball fields and volleyball area were not suitable for use. We made the best of our time there, but it could have been alot better. I know this park is slated for remodeling in the next year, so I am hoping they get it done soon and make some major upgrades to the layout and overall facilities. It has alot of potential but we will have to wait for that potential to come to fruition. read more

We were looking for grass and shade to picnic on a blanket with snacks. That's just what we found! read more

visiting out of convenience of being along the 101...a quick stop for kid to play...large, but quite barren...the field is in rough shape and probably not used...the playground is fairly modern, but not seeing any children around....many enormous picnic areas for large gatherings and seeing people set up for some parties....the park is a bit depressing, but it appears people use it for large outdoor parties and gatherings.... read more

Flood Park - just a playground - Parks Near Me - Menlo Park, California

A great venue to host a picnic, bbq, grad party, baby shower, etc. They have a ton of different picnic sites that you can pre-book online ahead of time and virtually every site was taken when we came here for our event. The sites are pretty spacious - the one we had contained 12 picnic tables and several grills with restrooms and water fountains a short walk away. There was also a public volleyball court that is first come, first serve. I only wish that this park was dog friendly so that I didn't have to worry about my puppy at home while attending the event. Other things to note if you're planning on coming here for your event - there is a parking fee of $6/vehicle that you pay at the gate. Also, bring some canopies with you if you can - while there are some areas of shade, a lot of the picnic tables are exposed and on a hot day, it can get uncomfortable pretty quick. read more

Pretty standard park. Playground, picnic tables, lots of trees for shade. Unfortunately it's not the most beautiful place; the grass is dead and there is some graffiti on the structures. But it is sufficient for a nice picnic lunch. There is plenty of parking available. There are many parties going on during this Saturday morning & it looks like each area can accommodate large numbers of people. read more

I visited Flood Park last week. Lots of open space, parking, playground, volleyball net, many picnic table areas to host small or big parties. The grass is no longer green or alive, but I know that is for drought reasons. But I have to say it feels like it has been neglected. It is a county park; hence, the $6 parking fee just like any other county park around like Coyote Point or Huddart Park. read more

This beautiful 21 acre park is a great place to spend a hot summer afternoon queuing it up under the shade of some old Oak trees! Pros: Clean restrooms Plenty of parking ($5) BBQ pits Playground Baseball diamond Volleyball Horseshoes Plenty of grass for the little ones to run freely Cons Anal park rangers! Those fools asked us to turn down the music 3 times! I heard that the rangers are so uptight because the park used to be ghetto, but come on! We were celebrating an uncle's 60th birthday! It's not like we were bumpin' Too Short! read more

Meh. Word on the street is there are development proposals being drafted for multi family housing on this site in the not too distant future. I can see why, it would make sense. Lots of space and the Bay Road corridor is easy access to 101. Old facilities, etc. lost of parking options which was nice. read more

Today was not a really good day I been coming to this park since I want a little girl but today someone that works there was really rude and racist to me because I was with my cat and my cat is really clean well the thing is that we're was a White lady was with her dog and did not pick up he dogs poop but he did not tell her nothing Bc of her color so I don't want to come back after what happened I would give no stars but I have to put one read more

Running in circles, horseshoe, tennis, picnic, softball, baseball or the playground are all things I would be doing if I was at Flood Park. It's not exceptionally beautiful-- but it works. It's durable and small. If I ran around the outermost edges of the entire park, it would be maybe a quarter mile.. or slightly larger. If I'm looking for a change of scenery or don't have much time to spare, I sprint over to Flood Park and do 2-3 loops. It's a shame they don't allow dogs and it appears that no one invests in the park either. Who can complain about a wide open space though, so close to home.. Who knows, maybe twenty years from now, they will be hard to find? The only time I see other people here, they are usually with kids at the playground, or a huge family or party BBQ-ing it up. It looks like the picnic tables and BBQ pits can serve up quite the crowd. I don't ever go to this park after dark...if I don't have my nunchucks or tazer gun. I'm only kidding... I just don't go to this park for any reason after dark. I don't think it's open then, either. It's un-notable, but I'm thankful it's here. Catch my drift? :) read more

It was a pretty decent park with a good amount of trees and tons of picnic tables. The oak trees were plentiful and it made me feel as if I wasn't even in California anymore, definitely perfect for a warm breezy summer day. Unfortunately my biggest issues: Dog are not allowed(this park would have been perfect for my dog!) $5 parking, this park is nice, but it isn't a large park you spend hours and hours at read more

- No dogs allowed - Playground equipment is for 5+, and I once witnessed a terrifying fall of a 3 year old onto that rubberized concrete from the play structure - At $5 admission fee to park, this park works best for locals. I'm local, and to be honest, many of us just commute over to the nearby Holbrook-Palmer Park, which has free parking, a nice walk/exercise trail around the park, permits dogs and has nicer play structures and wide open fields for frisbee games. I'd use the park daily if dogs were allowed :/ read more

Nice space, easy parking, good for large groups for parties. Friendly service as you enter and pay. Bummer that dogs aren't allowed.

I don't know about you, but no dogs? Are you serious?!? What's a name of a park if You don't have ANY PLAY FOR DOGS?!??!? Worst park ever I would say. My children thinks the place is too childish ( I agree because one is 10 and one is 12.) read more

hate that we are invited to so many events at this park and they STILL are not accepting cards to pay for parking! really??? its not that hard. an ipad would do the trick with one of those apps for accepting cards. with all the business they make off of parking alone and then reservation fees for parties, I still dont get how they cant afford to set up card payment for parking. Supe inconvininet when u have hollering crying babies in the car and u STILL have to go out of your way to go get cash if you happen to not have cash. Not such a FAMILY FRIENDLY place if u ask me. im considering not even coming anymore , its such a hassle seriously. read more

We are so lucky to live within walking distance of this park. The playground and swings are very nice. Even though it says it is for 5 year olds and up, our 2 year old plays wonderfully on the equipment. Lots of shade and grass and BBQ areas. Some BBQ spots are reservation only (paid). read more

came for a company picnic. lots of places to reserve for picnics. i just wish they werent so close together. another picnic was literally 2 feet away from us. but they didnt bother us. lots of grills. volleyball courts. play ground. tennis courts. no basketball courts tho so thats a lil disappointing. $6 for parking isnt too terrible. i had no complaints. all food was catered or we bbqed. a few bathrooms. not too dirty for a public park. read more

Been coming to this park ever since I was little and always loved how big it was and how you can do so many things there. I don't like the fact that there are no dogs allowed. Pretty clean though. read more

Pretty nice park, lots of large picnic areas and big play structures. I come here mostly to watch my boyfriend's baseball games. Only down side, no snack bar. You have to pay $5 to park inside, don't count on street parking or parking in the neighborhoods because you need a permit or you will be towed. read more
