Mon., 5/25/2026 - Went to Del Meyer Park. Address is 9265 Elk Grove Florin Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624…read more There is a paved pathway by the river you can walk. Easy to walk, wagon friendly, stroller friendly, bike friendly. The park was so clean, quiet, there's tables and bbq grills, bathroom, two play grounds, exercise area, baseball/soccer field, & parking. I saw people fishing, bikers biking by, teenagers on scooters and small electric bikes, family walking, and dogs on leash walking by. It was so nice. We had a mini picnic there, while kids play. I love the walk. Pick up after yourself and keep the pathway, nature and park clean. I saw free dog doody bags provided at the park. so people can use it to pick up after their dogs. This is a nice park and nice, easy hike. Love it!

Over the last few years, I have become such a hermit crab and rather keep to myself. But recently,…read moreone of my friends and neighbor noticed this and decided to invite me for a nice walk with her dog to a park located in Elk Grove. I had never heard of this place before, and actually looked forward to joining her, just to get out of my house and commune with nature for a change. Located off of Elk Grove Florin Rd and Bond Rd, we arrived into this quiet little nature reserve, and parked in the adjoining parking lot right at the entrance. There are houses that line the park, but the residents do a great job of blending in and maintaining their well landscaped properties. The trail begins with a welcome sign, visitor rules, descriptive history and a map, along with a list of what plants, birds and other animals you may encounter. Treating the park with respect is number one priority. My friend, her cute little dog and I started our walking adventure with determined enthusiasm! There is a paved trail that leads you along Laguna Creek's natural ecosystem which provides a home for many water dependent wild life. I really enjoyed our outing that lasted for many hours of conversation, exercise, meeting other friendly hikers and bikers, and best of all, watching birds and turtles living a protected life in this swamp like habitat. This area is also home to several feral cats that are spayed, neutered and well fed! Don't expect this park to be perfect. The paved trail is bumpy and not complete, the stagnant areas of water is thickly green with algae, and the wilderness pretty much fends for itself. But If you keep walking for about 3 miles, you can cross a bridge that connects you to Jack E. Hill Park, where visitors can enjoy picnicking and relaxation. As we made our way back to the car, I couldn't help but feel somewhat energized with a better outlook on my life! Nature does that to me!

Completed in 2010 , this park is a joint venture by both the City of Elk Grove and the Cosumnes Community Service District. This is not your typical park with playgrounds and swings. Pretty much an adult only park. There isn't much room available to play any sports in the open space. The park has a few picnic tables and benches around its walking path. I believe this park gets its name from the wooden bridges that connect the park to Whitelock Parkway and surrounding communities. The only thing that caught my attention in this park was the huge metal acorn on the lawn.

This is no playground at this park so if that's what you're looking for, there's one literally…read moreacross the street called Oasis Park. This park is great if you are looking for a new quiet place to have a picnic with a friend or catch up over some coffee or tea. There are a few tables that are VERY spread out so you could have a fair private conversation and not worry about someone being right next to you. There is some shade provided by trees but no structures for shade. There is a patch of grass so if you wanted to lay out a blanket and read or bring some toys for your kids, it would be a quiet area to just have some down time. There is a giant acorn statue for some reason and ummm... it's good for pictures I guess? My kids liked looking at it. I find value in parks like this. Not every park needs to be a huge playground with lots of amenities. This is a good place to just sit and have a sandwich on your lunch break, get a little sun (wear sunscreen!), and take in some nature.

Comes very very close to representing what Seoul parks were like - tons of shade, well maintained , had water (in form of a water fountain for this park), had a few paths, exercise stations, flowers. It's hard to find this one simply by driving. Much easier by foot. It's behind a Del Webb center and pool and tennis court, as well as behind some folks' houses. It's extremely peaceful and even romantic. Came here on a weekend daytime.

It's August and it's hot. You can walk this trail from the northside park off of Jacinto or you can…read morego down to the neighborhoods around Betchart Park off of Laguna Park Drive. This trail goes all the way cutting across Bighorn and if you continue south all the way down to Laguna Boulevard by the Safeway. Be prepared in the summertime there is not a lot of shade. But even the sun scorched earth has beautiful purple wildflowers. Enjoy this trail in the morning or early evening evenings during the summertime. The creek bed is dry right now also so the only wildlife you might see is going to be a rabbit or Two.

The walk area was clean, not a trash in sight. There wasn't much to see besides goats. The creek…read morewas decent too. There were different signs to let you know where you'll be heading. We were led to a dead end or into a neighborhood. This area to walk was shorter than expected but decent. Elk grove is still better in my opinion.

You can cross a bridge that will take you the actual park but the reason I took 2 stars off is because the public restrooms are closed. Thats very troublesome for the families with little ones that I saw run up and could not get in, as well as pregnant women that needed to go. The bathrooms should always be open during regular hours. Other than that it is a nice place to walk and observe nature in the city. People are courteous and polite. They have poop bags throughout your walk so please be kind and pick up after your pet.

I went here for my first time yesterday. It was a Tuesday in mid-July from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m…read more When I arrived, there was a long line waiting to get in. I think it's because you have to stop and pay at the front desk so that created a bit of a bottleneck. Let's start with the things that I liked. 1. There are a lot of bathrooms so you don't have to wait. 2. The lifeguards are very on top of things and I even saw someone get rescued while I was there. 3. There are shade sails, providing shade over the chairs. 4. There are four different pool areas to choose from. 5. They play music out loud (but you can't hear it on the small kiddo side over all the screaming). Now here are the things I think they can improve on. 1. Plant some trees so that you have some natural shade over the grass. There are not enough chairs in the shade for everyone. 2. Offer some vegan options in the café area. 3. Let people use parasols. I don't want skin cancer so I use a parasol every time I'm in the sun and they would not let me hold my parasol in the pool areas. I thought it was a little too loud and all the kids splash water at you which I don't like either, but that's to be expected. I mean, I'm going to a place designed for children so there's nothing I can do about that. It really is a very fun place for children if your kiddos don't get overstimulated in loud and crowded spaces. There are two diving boards at different heights, an obstacle course for older kids, and waterslides for most ages (there's a height requirement).

Lookout parking near the fields though. You can possibly have a ball hit your car. There's warning signs displayed by these areas and common sense will help too. There's a beautiful soccer field and parking near that too. This parking has an awning and provides shade. There's also bathrooms and what I Iove is that there is an AED machine right outside of the bathrooms in case of an emergency. Check out this beautiful park. It's a great place for a walk and to be in nature.
