This is a cute little neighborhood park at 3444-3530 Morningside Dr, in the 94803 zip code, that serves El Sobrante and Richmond, CA. It has a grassy hillside, plenty of picnicking, and a play area with a slide that kids love. Some of the neighbors have been repainting it, and it hosts various events like Richmond Night Out and El Sobrante Pride Day. Enjoy the sun, have a family get together. It's not overused at all. We love it. read more

La Moine Park - Cement playground!! - Parks Near Me - Richmond, California

This is a great park tucked away in a tranquil neighborhood. We didn't go down to the concrete area but it looked very "Flintstones" cute. The upper playground for toddlers/kids was great. Soft playground flooring, two big kid swings and two toddler swings. And there are two play structures with multiple slides. One structure is very small for new walkers. Lots of street parking. We loved it! read more

The park is nice but there is a very dangerous slide - the kids add cardboard and it makes a even more dangerous ... your child can get a concussion... but if you stay away from that particular slide - it's a nice park. read more

Both the upper and lower playgrounds are fun for my kids. Sometimes there are random people there that seem off, but overall nice park.

Pretty clean, the kids love the the slide. The cardboards down the cement slide is not safe. My older one went off the side and almost hurt himself pretty bad. My younger one enjoyed the park as well. Bad things, almost stepped on poop read more

This park is great because they have a nice new safe play structure but they also kept the old risky cement play area for more adventurous kids. The neighborhood is quiet and has a safe feeling to it. There is a large grass area that is well maintained also plenty of shade and places to sit. read more

La Moine Park - Concrete slide! - Parks Near Me - Richmond, California

I fully agree with Jennie C's review of "Cheese Park." (That's how I know it, too.) This was one of the better parks in the El Sobrante area with its big grassy lawn, but if I really wanted to go crazy growing up, I'd probably go to Hercules (Refugio Valley) instead. These are old school parks with sandboxes that often smell of urine instead of the new turf playgrounds with indoor rock climbing equipment that you might see at newer, fancier parks. That massive concrete slide was the best. So as not to tear up our clothes or injure our behinds, we would take old cardboard boxes, flatten them out, and then slide down on those like a sled. The best time of year to come here is when autumn just starts to get chilly. There are these seed/leaf things that the trees drop. When you throw them up into the air, they would spin down like little helicopter rotors. They were really fun to bring in for show-and-tell and were fun to play with. read more

This is a great little park in El Sobrante. It is located in a neighborhood area which makes for a very quiet area during the week. The park is very simple with a section for bigger kids and a smaller section for smaller kids. There are also swing sets for both age ranges. In the middle there is a huge area of grassy field which is great to have a picnic or to play with a ball. On the far end of the park there is a cement play area which isn't all that safe but it is available. There isn't a parking lot here but there is plenty of street parking which is good. The only thing that is missing here is a bathroom. Any park that is available for kids should have a bathroom here to make it convenient for everyone. Over all a cute park, not the most extravagant park but it will do the job to entertain your kids for a bit. Check it out. read more

I grew up going to this park and only knew it at Cheese Park. Old timers and newcomers alike refer to this park as Cheese Park, not La Moine...at least that has been my experience. When I was growing up the only thing there was the massive concrete play structure with different areas to explore and crawl through (that often smelled of urine). Today they also have a separate area with two full size wings, two toddler swings, a fire engine toddler sized play structure with double sides and a larger play structure for 5-12 year olds that includes two slides, a rock wall, a bridge, a rock bridge and even a little area under the play structure where your kids can eat their lunch. Lots of creativity to be had! The park is well maintained and offers picnic tables, a few BBQ grills and a couple of benches. There's a large grassy area that you can roll down if you want... There is also a community center across the street. read more

This park has been known as "CheesePark" for many years .... My (six) children and their classmates ENJOY this OLD SCHOOL park which is really named La Moine Valley View Park located on Morningside Dr 94803. It's located on boarder of El Sobrante & Richmond ....kind of near DeAnza H.S. I didn't know the park's real name & others fondly remember the park as CHEESE PARK lol When I Googled and tried to find directions back to the park friends originally introduced us to 'cause the kids were eager to GO BACK because they had soooo much FUN sliding down the CONCRETE slide area with cardboard !!! LOL I wasn't able to write a review on the only Yelp post because time restrictions laps (posted 2009) so I figured I TRY and post one too Just incase another parent or caregiver was LOOKING for the unique & FUN park fondly known as "Cheese Park" read more

I took my 4 kids (8, 6, 5, 3 years of age) over the summer to this little park I found while looking for another one. My kids and I saw this place and fell in love with it. We spent a solid 2 hours there and left only because my son had to drop a deuce and we couldn't find a public bathroom. We went around July so it was really hot out there (bring lots of water). I would have given this place 5 stars, but it is run down. I had to walk through the tunnels first to make sure there was no broken glass or pee any where, and the tunnels looks super beat up. You can tell it was an old school park but man my kids love this place. There is another small park on the side, new school, swings, climbing structure, etc... Nice lawn, tables and I believe grills if you wanted to have a picnic. But the slide...oh this magical slide. There was plenty of cardboard there, park was empty so the kids had lots of fun. I would recommend bringing your own cardboard boxes (or a milk crate) as it is quite possible that if you slide without cardboard you can get a skin burn. While there there were plenty of stragglers, adults and kids, who came slid a few times then left. For fun, i give it 10 stars, but the condition of this place I would give it like 3. Definitely recommend checking out once and judge for yourself. We are heading there now!!! read more

I used to go here and play as a little kid. I remember the slide being so cool and fun being able to go down it on cardboard! The park itself is older and needs a renovation, but it is quiet and fun for the kids. read more
