We've engaged with the OV Community Center quite a bit this summer and can't say how happy we've been! We reserved a picnic area for our kids birthday, and they were on it! There were signs posted at the picnic area, and someone came around to collect trash twice during our reservation, which was great because we had a lot of it. We also put our son in the OV Rec'ing Crew this summer and he LOVED it. It was our first summer camp experience and it reminded me of when I was a kid and went to Rec Camp! Very simple, nothing wild, but the field trips seem well-executed, and the leaders were friendly young adults. We'll be back next summer for sure! read more

On Wednesday the 18th my boyfriend and I brought my daughter here to explore. They had 2 playgrounds, plenty of picnic tables and even a Little Library, she picked out A Bad Case of Stripes I loved as a child! My daughter met a friend their to play on the larger playground with, sliding down the slides, their were many and a nice swing set as well! I would highly recommend visiting the Orangevale Community Park located on 7301 Filbert Ave, right across the street from the horse riding stables! We will definitely be back to add books to their Little Library, leave a book, take a book, as well as explore more of this amazing park! read more

My kids call this the horsey park. I took them here a ton when they were small about 5 years ago. Now that they are older and play football for a nearby team, we are often there for team events or training. Lots of open fields for games, team sports or tag. Love the covered patio area. Cute paved trails around the park are a great size for small kids to ride bikes! read more

OV disc golf course. Lots of fun, but very crowded most of the worth playing if you haven't played there

Came here with my wife, went for a nice walk. We saw lots of people playing frisbee golf, and families relaxing. It was a great place come and enjoy a beautiful day in the shade. It has one general pathway amongst several places to tee off, and then goes by a children's play area. It was very spacious so saw lots if kids on bikes going around. It was actually really great to see so many kids enjoying themselves outside opposed to video games. Good parking, and two different lots in either side. You should definitely cone check it out. read more

Nice open spaces and well kept up. Stopped in last weekend to play some disc golf and roamed around the grounds trying to find where it was located. It was a ways from where I thought the main entrance was located. A little signage would have helped but then again the weather was nice and it was fun to trek around and see the park. Will certainly return. read more

Play area: Features two different play structures---one for smaller kids and a pretty big one for the older kids. Has 4 or 5 slides, and one very tall one that everyone likes. Also has 2 toddler swings and 2 regular swings. BBQs: Has a nice covered area that could easily host a party of 30 people. The pit is a good size as well. Activities: Has a full soccer field, an 18-hole frisbee golf course and also a walking trail that slices through an oak forest and takes you to some sort of equestrian center. (The horses and their riders frequently come out on the trail into the main area.) There are also a blackberry vines near the BBQ pits that is ripe for the picking. :) Pros: Great layout, nice play structure and very grassy. Cons: Frequently has fresh horse poop on the walking trails. :( read more

Great park - one of the best parts of Orangevale. Be careful of flying disks if you take the trail past the horse stadium. Great for riding bikes, jogging, walking, a picnic, birthday party, church event (get a permit with a small fee at orpd), and even daddy day with the kids! I went there last week for an "ABC picture scavenger hunt with 2 7 year olds and a 10 year old." Super fun! Paved trail is very bumpy so rollerblades and other bikes/training wheels with plastic wheels won't work great. read more

I have been going to this park for many years now and I still enjoy it. I bring my little brothers here now and they couldn't be happier with it. There are just so many options at this park. Depending I what mood you're in, you could just watch the horses or go on an adventure. It's by far my favorite park! read more

I enjoy taking kids here for a few reasons. The "nature" portion attached to this park is a nice walk and the path all around the park is a nice one for getting cardio in. The park structure is updated with several more slides than most parks have, but I wish they had a sunshade over the play area! There are two areas with picnic benches that are shaded however, which is a great addition, and the large open grassy area is wonderful! read more

One of my favorite local 18 hole Disk golf course. A little bit of hiking, lots of challenges. Also they have bathrooms, practice baskets, picnic tables and do not forget to check out their store of disks( nice selection ) and more!! read more

great park for kids and grownups. you can disk golf. go on a walk and play. been going here since I was a kid. read more

I love the orangevale park! The biggest problem i have found there is the local children have vandalized many of the play area, the bathrooms, trees and different benches throughout the park. Bruce and the Community Park and Rec workers maintain the property as much as possible, but with very little funding from the county. If people would control their hoodleum children, the park would be in much better shape than it is currently! Or we can donate to the Parks Dept in Orangevale and funding can go to clearing trails, fixing fences, repairing bathrooms, etc! Pow Wow Days is always held here, and this park holds dear many memories for families throughout the community. It is a great place to walk the dog, ride the horse, play frisbee golf at Shady Oaks, play tennis, hike or play in the fields! On a windy day the soccer fields behind Green Oaks Elementary School are the best place to go to fly kites! read more

Well, I come here a lot for my photo shoots with clients. It has a tome of scenery and is very cool just to walk around and explore. They have a disc golf course here for those of you who like that, they have a nice play area for the kids and soccer fields. It also has picnic tables and plenty of open grass to lay down a blanket and enjoy the day with the family. I just to come here a lot when I was in high school and have many great memories here. There really isn't a bad time to come here, even on the weekends you can find ample space to do what you like, and it is very family friendly. read more

nice park has plenty of room for kids to run and explore. My kids enjoy the little creeks and playing on the equipment. We have had many events there hosted by others as well as horse riding lessons at the park. read more

Nice park in Orangevale. It's very dedicated to frisbee disk players. Better on the backside entrance on the Filbert entrance side, which is primarily a horse staging area but not many horses around. The backside also has some large grassy areas. The lot at Filbert and Oak us the best for non-specific use park goers with open grass fields and trails. read more

I love it that we have a community arena available for the public.The round pen is a great diameter. I'd give it 5-stars except that the arena footing is worked entirely too deep at times! We were told that the facility workers rototill the sand to "work it" and this causes the sand to be about 6" deep (the middle can be treacherous!). I was told that concerns have been voiced about the physical damage that deep sand can cause the legs of a horse, as well as causing falls to happen. In reality we can't whine too much because it is a no-charge facility and the riders who are worried about injuries, just don't use directly after they rototill. We allow a week or more for the sprinklers to pack the base again. read more

Great park for families on Oak Ave, Fibert side, Has rental area for parties, great kids climbing structure and well maintained soccer field. Good bike riding for children around the loop. Has Equine area in center, with horse arena and open grass for whatever your animal, sport, or picnic needs. The Hazel Avenue side is dominated by disk golf, some of Ov park walkways go through it, like other people said disk fly around so keep heads up. Please be aware that many disk golfers have dogs off leashes which is against park policy. We had recent vet bill for a pit bull bite on our terrier this month, beware of female pitbull all black and has white chest, its not friendly. My family has lived in OV since the 1970s, this is our first and hopefully last negative experience. From my persective I would stick to the outside of the disk golf area with dogs or children. We charish the OV park for its beauty and sense of community and will continue to come back no matter the idiot 1% that ruin the parks enjoyment. read more
