    This is quite a "handy" convenient neighborhood park tucked along the edge of the Talus Ridge subdivision in Folsom on Cavitt Drive. The park sits on the higher elevated part of Folsom, so it has a pretty neat westward view. The park has a soccer field, basketball courts, a covered pavilion with two bbqs and two picnic tables, restrooms (which are currently closed), and a parking lot. There is a huge amount of green lawn to throw down a blanket for a picnic, an outdoor exercise session, some meditative cloud gazing or whatever suits your fancy; all while socially distancing.

    Had a birthday party here & it was perfect! Great location & the tables are all relatively close to the play area.

    Stopped here after visiting Costco. Playground was good for 4 and 6 year old. But the bathrooms were not so clean to put it nicely

    Hours: 6 AM-9 PM daily Entrance/Parking Fee: $10…read moreKayak/Paddle Board Rental Hours: 9 AM-6 PM weekends https://www.lakenatomapaddlerentals.com/ Solos: 1st hr $20, each hr after $15 Tandem (2 people): 1st hr $30, each hr after $20 I had a very hard time finding info about this lovely spot, so there you go. 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!!

    Went out to Black Miners Ravine to get on the paddleboard and just decompress a little. This time…read moreof year out there is hard to beat... good vibes, calm water, and a chance to shut the brain off for a bit. Nothing super exciting in this review, just one of those peaceful days you appreciate more as you get older lol. Now fair warning... that water is COLD cold when you first step in but once you're out there it's worth it. Even the ducks were just cruising around being friendly and minding their business. Sometimes you don't need much, just a board, some fresh air, and a little quiet.

    It's tranquil on the lake no matter who's around. Best $125/yr gym/bar, ever. Go alone or go with friends. Poppy Pass - buy one.

    I'll put it at top of review but not a fan of the challenge system they have in place at Pickleball…read morecourts with no posted rules. Even at 8:15-8:30 PM on a weekday you can't see play more than one game before people start going up to you saying you can't stay on the court for yourself winner stays. Then they queue up and all and I watched someone just finish a game and queue but we were waiting a lot longer and there were complaints by not even the queue people who let us go ahead of them because some people were calling us out and getting upset that we didn't put our paddles in the board. Good (12) Pickleball Courts but they have exploded in popularity and you have to wait a long time or play later and later now. If it was just me, I'd wait later to play or go on off hours but friends rather go at certain times. Folsom should build more.

    My fiancé, my daughter and I decided to check out this amazing park before heading to work one…read moremorning. And I must say this is quite the park, from the beach volleyball courts, to the large sand box with a large playground, with a zip-line, slides, swings and all! I would highly recommend visiting this local park, we'll definitely be back and will be bringing my volleyballs I passed down to my daughter from my days of playing volleyball in school! Any parent and child are sure to have fun at this park, just take a look at the little tour I put in the videos!

    This is a little hidden gem. A lot of people don't even know it's up in on the hill by Hazel…read moreMcFarlan Park. You park by the softball fields and walk up the steps. My kids had a great (shot time) running around and exploring. Next time we need to bring horseshoes.

    Broder Family Homestead Park is a compact, passive park sandwiched between the Harvest subdivision…read moreof homes and Hazel McFarland park in Folsom, CA. 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.
