I was in the Warm Springs area and didn't feel like driving to Lake Elizabeth for my little guy to…read moreget some energy out, so I searched for a nearby park. To my surprise, I found this park! There's a good size grassy area all around, and there are basketball and tennis courts. The playground is a pretty good size for little kids, probably too big for any kids older than 8 or 9. There aren't any benches near the playground, but there's a short concrete wall that separates the playground from the rest of the park that you can sit on while your kid plays. The only thing I'd be cautious about is making sure you and your little one are protected from the sun on a nice day. There's absolutely no shade at any angle on this playground, so be prepared with your hats and sunscreen! There's also a fat squirrel that runs around. Do not approach. He doesn't seem scared of humans.

There is a basketball court, field, and also a play structures for kids to play. It's a big space; it's not cluttered. There are grills and tables for bbq. Lots of trees as well. The bathrooms are available for men and women, they're cleaner than what I would have expected from a public park. There is a parking lot available as well as street parking. It's a fairly safe park; perfect for all ages!

A great park for get togethers and parties but also good for the daily decompression…read more With its large grassy area, two interactive playgrounds for kids of all ages, basketball courts, two parking lots and plenty of street parking, and decent bathroom and drinking water facilities, Karl Nordvik Park is a popular one and brings in many of the locals and residents nearby. Tucked behind the semi-public sports field typically used by organized sports teams, the park is easily accessible with plenty of parking spots. The ramps make it easy to load and unload passengers and stuff for your day out. The picnic tables and barbecue pit is great for hosting mealtime and celebrations but we found that the grassy field was just as good if you have a canopy available. The flooring is quite flat and well maintained for the most part. If you have children with you, the playgrounds offer ample space for them to imaginary play and work on body control. The flooring is padded so no worries about splinters from bark. They have a smaller dedicated playground for younger children that has slides and climbing structures. Swings are found in the middle and are low enough for younger children to clamber on. A rope structure offers some more advanced climbing and the larger structure has some taller slides for those thrill seekers. I found that the basketball courts are typically taken but if you're looking for players, you'll have your pick here! The bathrooms are accessible and are relatively well maintained. There's also a water fountain if you didn't bring your own fluids. Overall, Karl Nordvik Park is a solid park for children, families, and sports enthusiasts. The park has been around for a long time and it's been upgraded recently and it seems to also be better maintained since. If you need a place to relax or looking to embark in some park related activities, Karl Nordvik is conveniently located near the bridge and highway as well as many residential properties. Come check it out but be sure to bring your sunblock!

The…read moresoft rubber walking surface is reassuring as a parent and the big field next to the playground is nice to walk around in too. The only downside we've noticed is this past year these really large thorn weeds/plants would scatter their thorns all over the playground and park walkways making it a virtual minefield for our stroller and shoes. We've had to replace or patch our tires multiple times because of this. Would be great if there was a way to completely get rid of these harmful plants.

We found this when cruising neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights with our kids. We saw a huge thing with lights on it from a distance and just drove towards it until we found this massive tree covered in lights.

It amazes me how they get up all the lights so high and it's a real delight to see at night!

I found the park to be much more attractive on the more recent visit. I lived in this town for most of my adult life. I have vague memories of this land in the Niles District to be a large nursery of some sort. Never entered in those days as never thought of it as being an option. Not sure how open it was for public back in those days. But recent plaques tell the history of this nursery and definitely has a role in California's growth. This nursery has been around since the late 1800s, and even has ties to General Vallejo who helped shape Northern California. Since a major railroad line went through this town, this nursery was able to grow and get its products out and about. Fruit trees, landscaping trees and brush, flowers and palm trees all were grown here and transported to other parts of the state/country. There are still older buildings here that reflects those olden days. The nursery eventually closed, and the city turned this open space into a public park. It is not that big, but you can easily walk about a mile walking around. There are different sections, and most have paved paths that go around. There's a central park square up front that now has benches and patterned grass and rose bushes. This looked better on my second out, not sure if I caught the blooms at the right time, but it was quite colorful and floral on that visit. Lots of palm trees, an area for fruit trees and another area with typical city landscape plants. No one really working out here, more a casual stroll. Lots of elderly and family's with small children and definitely lots of leashed dogs. Sometimes after a nice dinner, I'll stop in and just take a light stroll as to walk off a part of my meal. The lighting is usually more dramatic, the air a tad cooler, birds singing, bees bouncing off flowers, humming birds buzzing by my ear, just relaxes and pleases me. I let time slow down and just submit to the moment.
