My wife and I were not huge park people before our son was born but now we visit parks daily. We have a park closer to home but parking is hard to find, Ygnacio Valley Park has a nice parking lot with about 20 spots. They have a nice large grassy area with a circular trail to get some walking in or walk the dog. In our case, our toddler loves to run into the field and follow us on the trail to run. We both win because he gets to burn off some energy and has fun walking towards any dogs. They have two play areas for toddlers and bigger kids along with swings and a sand area. This has become our go to park and I find myself here very often. We love our Family walks and have made friends here. You have a sense of Community when you visit.

The park looks deceivingly small when entering the park for Rudgear, and soon it opens up to some fairly large sports and open fields, playgrounds, tennis courts, dog friendly areas etc., all within a generous green belt.

Most of the park, however, is more like a "ropes course" for bigger kids. The play structures look very new (a 2016 review of this park has red-colored play structures, but the park has been redone since then, and now the main color is green). I think this park would be perfect for a kid in the 5-7 age range, maybe slightly older.

The secret park! This place is very well hidden as you'll need to navigate quite a bit off the…read morestreet to find this place. Once you get there, you'll find a decent sized playground under lots of shade. The first thing I look for in a playground is accessibility, meaning entrances/exits are clearly defined. You know who's going in and out. This place does have that which is good for safety. The layout of this is such that if you're observing your kid from the V-valley of portion (you'll know what I mean when you get there), you'll have a good vantage point to watch your kids and can mostly see them as they're playing around anywhere at this play structure. That's very good news. My number of playground reviews is nearing a dozen and I've noticed that some play structures are designed more for aesthetic as a nice looking sculpture when not in use which is pleasing to the eye, but it doesn't necessarily always translate to a structure that kids would actually play on/with. This might be one of those. Your kid might get bored fairly quickly here but it may still be worth checking out in case your little one likes it more than I'm guessing s/he would. Why is a grown man reviewing playgrounds? Yeah, that does sound spooky when you think about it. I'm actually taking advantage of this Covid time where playgrounds are pretty much closed and using them as FPV (first person view) quadcopter flying sites. Making use of it now before the kids come back and this becomes off limits for me. Before that happens, I'm on a trek to find the best FPV flying site for tinywhoop quadcopters. These weigh less than a Halloween sized pack of M&M's. They weigh less than 250g which makes them internationally recognized as toys and therefore not governed by the FAA requiring registration. Super quiet, most include propeller guards so annoyance and safety isn't really an issue. So the review of this playground as an FPV flying site? Definitely deserted (for now) so lots of room to play. However, due to the number of trees and its density, there are tons of shadows which makes it difficult to view through analog goggles. The structures do make for a challenging obstacle to navigate through which is nice. One thing I look for in an FPV flight site is lack of sand and this one fits the bill in that regard. No worry of crashed quads with sand getting all caught up in the motors.

It is also very much baseball-centric with multiple baseball fields, batting cages, etc. There is also a large grass field that could be used for a variety of other activities, including soccer. Although I'm not sporty, I do like local parks and beautiful spaces for people of all ages to participate in physical fitness activities. There are a a few picnic sites with 7-8 tables each and two are nicely covered with giant shade structures. There are also lots of water fountains, garbage/recycling bins, and lots of individual picnic tables and benches. There are bathrooms and a snack shack on one side, but I think those may just be for use during baseball games. There is a small playground and they seem to have plans to upgrade.
