Came by to this park with my beautiful fiancé and our daughter. This park is located on Prewett Drive in Folsom, CA. Also known as Castle Park, Folsom Kids Play Park is shaped like multiple wooden castles with a dragon "attacking" the main castle. This park has a main "castle" area for older kids, smaller "castle" for younger children, and a "castle" for the sandbox. This park also boasts multiple benches for picnics/parties and couple bbq grills also. This park is nestled around a walking trail so there is plenty people walking through or parents parking right on Prewett Drive to walk up directly to the park with their children. The only reason I deducted a star is that this park doesn't have a restroom nearby. read more

This place is one of our favorite parks in Folsom. The playground is like a castle / fort. My wife would often bring my little ones here. There is a playground for toddlers and a bigger one for bigger kids with monkey bars, climbing nets, swings, etc. Lots of fond memories here. read more

A hidden castle amongst the houses of suburbia. This is perhaps the most unique playground in the Folsom area. All the structures are constructed from wood, giving it that rusty old mine/castle look. That might be a good or a bad thing, since some of the structures will rot over time and there is noticeable wear. The structure itself is great for tag/hide and seek because it offer lots of "secret," corridors only accessible to those who can still crawl on their knees without pain aka younger kids. Park on the side of the road and let the kids roam about the kingdom as you watch from close by at the picnic tables. It feels like a very safe area, the only bad part is there aren't any bathrooms nearby so take care of business BEFORE you get there. read more

My family and I love this park! There are so many reasons why this playground is so great. For starters, it's right by an elementary school, grassy walking fields, and baseball diamond which makes the environment around very family and kid friendly. Restrooms are across the street but always available which I appreciate. The playground is broken into three parts: bigger kids area, smaller kids area, and picnic area. They're is plenty of shade from trees and a nice covered area with tables to sit at, and tables in the sun for options. Either or, there are plenty of area to sit and watch your children. The bigger section offers lots of swings, a tire swing, lots of slides, and a tall/ wide and large wooden play structure. Plenty for them to do. The smaller side is great because it offers an enclosed smaller playground to keep little ones safe, baby swings and it is also made of wood. Next to that is an even smaller playground for even smaller kids, also enclosed and sized appropriately. It's filled with sand. A great fun way to enjoy the park as well. I always suggest this park, out of all the parks in the Folsom area, it's our favorite for sure! read more

It was my first time at this park and my kids enjoyed it. We live in Elk Grove but after our Nimbus hatchery play date we decided to take the kids to the nearest park in Folsom. And my friend recommended this spot. This place is similar to the one in Elk Grove but infrastructure is much nicer. The park doesn't have a big shade area or lots of benches but you can bring your picnic mat and enjoy the nice and clean playground. The park is designed to resemble the castle. It's suitable for all ages of kids. My 9 months old son enjoyed the baby swings while my daughter enjoyed the slides and older swings. They have lots of shades at this park. The kids can play hide and seek in the park or adults can host picnic or birthday events here. Highly recommend to those parents who are looking for nice and clean playground for their little ones. read more

My family was in town for Christmas break and my neighbors suggested we go to Castle Park for a playground more suitable for older kids (5+ years old). My niece and nephew are both 8 years old and have visited their share of parks. They really enjoyed coming here! The playground itself is designed to look like a castle with tons of stairs, ropes, monkey bars and slides! Yes I also got into it and played in the castle as well (don't judge)! It's a great little playground to get the kids active, off the iPads and out of the house! For the little tots they even have a tots playground as well on the other side. Plenty of tables and shaded areas for adults to eat and enjoy! Great park and nice grass area to kick a soccer ball around too. Highly recommend! Thanks Folsom Parks! read more

My daughter loves this park! I like the fact there is a fence around each play area. So when they go in to play, they can only come out one way and you see who is going in and out. There are 3 areas, a large area for older kids, a little tots area, and a huge sand area with a slide. The little tots and sand area are well shaded. I wish the larger play area was as well but we just get there before it gets to hot. The park is very clean and maintained. There are paths for ridding bike or walking, shaded areas for pick nicks and tables as well The only compliant I have is if you need to use the restroom you have to cross the street and walk to the baseball area down the way. Its not convenient for a little child that has to go right away. We just bring my daughters portable potty and keep it in our SUV as she would never make it that far when she needs to go. read more

Such a cool place to bring the kiddos. The park is huge, with about 3/4 devoted to older kids with higher places to climb and more challenging obstacles. The rest is for smaller children with scaled down slides and swings, but still lots of nooks and crannies to climb through. Easy to get to by way of the many bike trails in the area. One of our favorite family bike ride destinations. read more

This is an amazing playground and we had great fun playing on it! My favourite playgrounds are the wooden ones, and this is one of those. It spans a large area, with a maze of towers, stairs, nooks & crannies, rope webs, slides, and monkey bars in the "older kids section" and a smaller section for younger kids with sand, swings, and more slides and towers. A great playground to bring the kids to, your older kids will enjoy as well as your little ones! read more

Adj: Hilltop Handy Family Park with a Happy View…read more This is one of Folsom's hidden gems in our books. We visit Folsom to meet friends and to explore and do nature-type activities as well as shopping and discovered Handy Family Park on one occasion. Handy Family Park is apparently one of Folsom's most elevated parks. Set on a hilltop, it's a lovely neighborhood park. Though it's smaller compared to regional parks, it's actually pretty big, it's just that it's atop a hill so not all of the space is usable for sports courts, but all of it is scenic and most of it is recreational space. You can reach this park by taking the E. Bidwell exit on Hwy 50, and then it's a really quick drive past the Costco and the In-N-Out, then take Scholar Way, and it's at 1560 Cavitt Dr. You can't walk directly into the park from the parking lot b/c you have to go UP to the top of the "hill", so you can either take the stairs or there's a longer path/ramp for ADA accessibility. Thankfully, the bathrooms are at the start of the park/bottom of the stairs so those who need to use the restrooms can get to them without going into the park. Once you climb up, you're rewarded with an amazing overlook of several neighborhoods and the rolling hills of Folsom. I've only been here in the daytime, but I imagine that it'd be extra beautiful after dark when the lights shine and sparkle all over for a night view. The park offers a lighted baseball field, a huge soccer field, a basketball court, open fields for free recreation, and multiple walking pathways that wind around for a nice stroll throughout the park while you get a nice panoramic view no matter which way you look. In addition to the amenities above, there's a barbecue with a couple of picnic tables under a covered pavilion at the edge of the hilltop so it's really a nice place for a picnic or little party. There's also a couple of kids play structure (one for bigger kids and one for the littles). My kids enjoyed playing here and running around when they were younger, but we still like coming here whenever we're in Folsom b/c Handy Family Park got such a scenic view and it's usually not too crowded. It is always a great place to bring our own picnic and hang out as a family in "nature" not too far from all the conveniences of civilization.

Hope it helps! Entrance is accessible from Greenback Ln with $10 fee required per vehicle. 2 Parking lots available - 1 closer to boat launch area and another further lot that's more convenient for picnic areas and tables. Plenty of tables and area for lots of families to enjoy some water festivities! Have a big party or just want to lock down a few tables? Highly advise to come early. If you just need some space to place your mats down, it should be just fine. Incredible trails alongside the water for walking, jogging, and bike riding. Dogs are welcome but just make sure you pick up after them (I noticed a good number of dog poop near the water edge). Want to take a dip? Feel free! Quite cold but more than welcome to. Biggest reason why we came here? To see how the Kayak Rental system worked. Scan the QR code or visit the site to book your rentals and sign waivers. I was told they rented daily by a worker (young ones) but their online reservations just show weekends and random Wednesdays.. so good luck. Honestly Rental prices are higher than another spot we've been to, but this spot was much closer to home and easier to access. Price for convenience! We didn't go kayaking on this particular day but definitely plan to return with our own paddle board/Kayaks since it just makes sense to invest and go whenever we want versus rent a few kayaks with high rental feels. Who wants to return within 1 hr?! No way, you gotta stay out in the midst of nature for at LEAST a few hours! Pathway Tip: Walking or jogging? Stay on your left. Biking? Stay on your right. Standard Placer County rules. Great spot for families whether you want to picnic, swim, paddleboard, kayak, go for a nice walk, jog, or bike along gorgeous river waters scenery. Have fun!!

The play structure houses had cargo nets for floors which made it more challenging. There was also a nice round circular swing. Overall a different change of pace and layout for a play ground.

Hurray to the City of Folsom Parks and Rec for this great use of the 5 acres. Broder Park preserves the history of the land. A portion of the olive orchard has been kept. The olive trees are still thriving. New fruit trees have been added since the 2020 park opening. The city also planted new vines in the area where the vineyards use to be. Remnants of the original concrete base of the Broder house is preserved and makes for the border of the patch of real grass. The City did its best to salvage material from the Homestead to be used in the park. The park is elevated with gentle sloping walking paths. The elevation makes for some pretty nice views of the surrounding area. The park has walking paths, some or paved and others are sand packed. Both are ADA compliant. There are benches and information boards about the Broder Ranch and activities, the olive orchards and vineyards, and the way folks in this area received water in the late 1800. The info boards are scattered about the different areas. There is a pavilion with picnic benches that is right next to a play area with farm animal statues. The statues are meant to be climbed on. Above that area is a horseshoe pit. Bring your own horseshoes to toss about. The first time I explored this park was when I visited the neighboring park for a Little League game. Since then, I have been back several times minus the Little League games.

Stairs?!? Don't worry there are also flat, very gentle sloping walkways as well. But get in your Rocky impersonation with these steps.

Ohh how cute.

Lifetime Folsom is not a gym... it's a full-blown civilization…read more Met a friend here for a workout, and since she's not a member, we had to do the whole guest pass process first. You know... the "tap here, sign here, acknowledge that squats may humble you today" routine. But I've got to give credit where it's due -- the front desk made it ridiculously easy. They were handling a phone call and getting my friend squared away at the same time, and somehow still made it all look smooth. No chaos, no confusion, no "uhhh let me get my manager." Just straight-up professionalism. The second we walked in, she looked around and said, "Is this a city or a gym?" I said, "Honestly... both." Because Lifetime Folsom is not for the weak or the directionally challenged. This place has everything. Pool, spa, cafe, workout floors, recovery zones, pickleball, tennis, locker rooms that feel fancier than some apartments... at one point I'm pretty sure if you turn the wrong corner you accidentally enroll in a wellness retreat. And my favorite part? The confidence people have before a workout. She came out of the locker room with that movie trailer energy like, "Alright, let's do this." Looking at me like, "Bring it." And I did. I coached her through the workout, and for the first 20 minutes she was hanging in there strong. Then somewhere around that 1 hour and 30 minute mark, the spirit left the body. By the end, the look had changed from "I got this" to "I would like to formally unsubscribe." And honestly? Respect. Because the workout was solid. We laughed the whole time, had great conversation, and got after it. That's what I love about Lifetime -- whether you're going hard or just trying to survive the stair climber without seeing your ancestors, it somehow still feels fun. After we wrapped up, we grabbed our stuff and headed to the cafe because recovery was no longer optional. She needed a pick-me-up, and honestly, probably a new set of legs. We grabbed shakes, sat down, and started coming back to life. Then out of nowhere she goes, "Ummm... tacos?" And I looked at her like she had just spoken the Lord's language and said, "Yes." Then she hits me with, "I got the spot. Follow me." Now THAT is elite leadership. So basically this place gave us: a killer workout, laughs, smoothies, and the launching point for Taco Tuesday. What more do you want from a gym? A zip code? Actually... Lifetime might already have one. In all, Lifetime Folsom continues to prove it's way more than just a gym. It's an experience. It's a fitness amusement park. It's where confidence goes to get tested and where post-workout taco plans are born. And honestly... that's beautiful.

Everytime I come to the cafe at this location the shake is never consistent the shelves lack…read moreselection and the back where they make the shakes is always dirty I would think with the price of the membership management would be a little better I mentioned it to the manager Mathew I believe and he just brushed me off nicely but ignored nonetheless

The parking lot is a pretty decent size and so we were still able to get parking. There are two parks, one on each side of the parking lot. Each side has shade coverings which was great. It was about 80 degrees when we were there and the shade allowed us to enjoy being outside. On one side there is a climbing structure and slide. On the water side there was a more advanced climbing structure, swings and a smaller climbing area with the swings. All in all, we definitely enjoyed the park and all it had to offer. It was very clean as well.

Heaven for watersport lovers!!…read more This is the nicest and biggest aquatic rental facility in the Sacramento area. Parking: $10 if you don't rent their equipment, with plenty of spaces in the complex. Otherwise, you can park for "free" at the State Park area if you have the Golden Poppy Annual Pass ($125). The park also has plenty of picnic tables and a small beach area for sunbathing. Restrooms: Women's (5 stalls), Men's (5 stalls), plus 2 unisex restrooms. There are plenty of rental options, including single/tandem kayaks, SUP boards, and canoes. If you are in a group, all renters must sign in at the same time because the rental period starts once you sign in. They also have CREW and CANOE clubs! All rentals must be returned by 8 PM or you may be fined. No cycling or weight training on the premises, but there is a basketball court on the side. All life jackets, equipment, and docks were clean and in good condition. The payment line moves quickly. If possible, print the waiver at home to save time. You also need to create an account on their website before they can place your order; otherwise, you'll need to create one on the spot when purchasing tickets. After purchasing, you leave your driver's license and car key with them. There is a 15-minute courtesy buffer deducted from your total rental time for walking to the dock, restroom breaks, setup, etc. Service: friendly and efficient. If you change your mind: for example, from a SUP board to a kayak: they simply call the front desk and let you switch at the dock. Lake Natoma is perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding because it starts wide and gradually narrows. The current is almost nonexistent until around 4 PM. It's about 2 miles to the small island near Willow Creek Recreation Area, which makes a perfect scenic picnic spot.

SAFETY FIRST! All Renters and students must wear a properly fitted Life Jacket!
