Multi-purpose public park in a residential neighborhood. Lincoln Park has a small, free, public…read moreparking lot that is accessed by a single-lane, shared road from Fernside Drive. Street parking is also available on Fernside and at the other entrance on High Street. The park has: a baseball diamond that serves as the home of the Alameda High School Baseball Team, the field also hosts many soccer games on the weekends, a public swimming pool - one home of the Alameda Gators Swim Team, a bocce ball court, bbq and picnic tables, a recently remodeled play-ground, a full-length recently resurfaced basketball court with string nets, a handball court, an enclosed area with exercise contraptions, and 4 pickleball courts for the fastest growing sport in the US. The 4 pickleball courts were converted from 2 tennis courts and have permanent but recently replaced nets. Surfaces are very worn with numerous cracks and can get gritty from sand/dirt blown from the 2 adjacent bocce ball courts. Play is from 8am to dusk and players range from beginner to advanced with mostly intermediate players. Players are friendly and receptive to visitors and beginners. Prospective players put their 4 paddles on the fence under the numbers 1-8 and venture on to court as a 4 person group when courts become available. On occasion, a yellow pickleball with a hook is put above beginner paddles in search of other beginner players. The recently renovated playground has structures to climb, slide, swing on and has a new bark surface. The new structure has nearby benches allowing parents to sit and watch their children play. A rose garden and a grove of Redwood trees are on the High Street side of the park for those looking for some Zen time. Beautiful spot for pictures and picnicking below the redwood trees. FYI - there is a defibrillator in the swim center. Public and clean restrooms are located next to the small parking lot. Restrooms are well maintained as the park maintenance department has equipment and workers based at this location. Overall, a beautiful neighborhood multi-purpose gem of a park... needs PBall court resurfacing though...

You've got a pretty cool baseball field with more field area for some other activities like ultimate frisbee, etc. You've got 2 different play structures and there are bathrooms. There are tables with benches throughout the park and if you'd like to have a party there, you can do so through the parks and rec department. They even have some great basketball courts and I enjoy seeing the pick up games in action! Some sad things are that the bathrooms are never clean. I am not a fan of taking my little ones in there and try to avoid it. I often find drug paraphernalia or needles on the ground and/or tables near the benches, and there's no shade in the park area except for one bench. As much as I love coming here since it is located near businesses like restaurants and we get to run into some friends there, I try to avoid it.

There are four parking stalls and one handicap stall, the rest are neighborhood street parking. It's very clean and maintained. The playground is amazing. It's challenging for a four-year-old, which is my kids age, there are 2 swings ,one swing for babies and one swing for grown-up kids and monkey bars one area for barbecuing and a cute tree, which has benches around it. I really like this park.

A very small neighborhood park located in the Sobrante Park neighborhood of San Leandro…read more It's at the end of O'Donnell Avenue and has only a few parking spaces available. It's located right next to the 880 Freeway, but because they put up that freeway wall to keep the noise out, it's relatively quiet here. The wall makes you forget about all of that! Not a whole lot to this park, just a small playground area and a BBQ lot, along with a few places to sit.

I usually stop here for the restrooms, which are usually pretty clean, and the water fountain. The basketball courts and baseball field belong to the school, not necessarily the park, but can be used during non school hours, I think. Nice small park!

Great little neighborhood park for nearby residents. I think this is a great little neighborhood…read moretoo. Its close to a lot of great things - like the airport and shopping and Bart - but its still most peaceful. It is most near Corvallis Elementary school that is just across the overpass. Its off a side street that most would probably not drive down unless they are taking a short cut to the one little shopping plaza. I like the park because it has lots of street frontage. Its very green and well taken care of - as is most of the housing nearby. I'd say its a good place to take kids and it won't attract too much of a crowd wanting to do things out of view of others. Come for the picnic and play areas - stay for the comfortable atmosphere.

After parking, if you can find a spot, the first play area includes a trampoline, climbing structure, a wide metal slide and an oversized musical chime. To the right, a spacious mesh swing spins with kids constantly filling and spinning it. Directly in front is an ample sand area with a brick barrier surrounding it. To the left are three picnic tables. In front of the sand area is the smaller kids play area which is directly next to the restrooms and water fountain. To the left of the little play area is the zip line. When you go further in to the park, there is a covered area with lots of picnic tables and seating grouped together, more benches and lots of grass to play and explore further. There are paths to ride bikes, scooters, roller blades and skateboards. During warmer weather this park is packed. When we visited, following a prior event, there were already lots of kids on a gray, windy, overcast day. This park is spacious on the interior but parking on the exterior is limited. The parking lot is minimal for the amount of space to explore, which is awesome but makes it difficult to navigate up close parking. Street parking is not really existent unless you enter on the opposite end of the park.

The goods- there's a good bit of grassy areas, a pretty cute playground, and restrooms. I don't know how the restrooms are as I haven't gone into them but at least they have them. The bads- no poop bags in all of the poop bag stations! So very disappointing! I forgot to bring poop bag one evening when I was walking her, and I went to every single one of those poop bag stations, and none had any! I walked us back to her house to grab some and walked back to the park to pick it up. They should restock poop bags in those stations. Why put up stations if you're not going to put any poop bags in them? F'in useless!
