A safer choice from walking on the neighborhood streets. I sometimes watch the soccer games here. The neighborhood kids and young adults play catch, frisbee, or fly their kites. Sometimes, they will also fly their drones. There's been a yoga class or a group get together to exercise. I've even seen a little karate training. This park has a kids jungle gym area. There's a small water park to play in on hot days. There's walk way paths to benches to rest or relax. Another little perk of the neighborhood!!!

Great mixed use park!…read more Location: In the Camden area with connection to the roads and right off the trail. Great to reach by trail or park. Always generally pretty quiet off a side road it feels pretty safe Activities: This park has a lot of different activities for families. Two tennis courts, basketball and two play areas. Not only that but it has a lot of shade and is definitely a well developed park. Really love this park specifically for the trail and a nice loop around the play area so that parents can walk while their kids play. Also had a covered area and table. Another top tier park in EG!

There's a basketball court, a walkway/walking path, grassy areas, a little creek runs through the back of the park, and there's also a couple of play areas/structures. Overall, it's a nice little park and when we were there, we saw it used quite a bit by kids having fun/playing, as well as adults getting exercise. It was even a bit crowded as it's pretty popular in the neighborhood. The only thing we really did not like is the phone tower disguised as a redwood tree right there in a corner of the park. That's probably not a good thing to have right at a park.

What first caught my attention at this park was the large open space area just waiting for soccer, football or a frisbee game ! Other amenities of the park are : shaded picnic tables, play area with slides, swings, and climbing structures. gazebo, and a walking trail. What I also love about this park is that shade trees give plenty of shade to the play area, picnic area as well as the benches in the park. Named after Albert Eugene Gates. The Gates family were totally committed in our schools and community of Elk Grove. Al served on the State board for more than 15 years and helped guide the District through Unprecedented student population growth.

Officially called the Jones Family Park, this park in North Elk Grove is in a neighborhood near EG…read moreFlorin and Calvine. It's located near some good friends of ours, so we come here once in awhile. It is a medium size park that backs into a railroad track and then there's a wildlife area made up of a a fenced-off wetlands preserve. I've not gone over to that part, but the park itself has a playground, a gazebo covered picnic area, a half court for bball, 2 baseball fields, a tennis court, a huge open field of grass for other sports such as soccer, frisbee, etc. The one big attraction here is probably the gazebo with 3 basic metal picnic tables, I've seen a lot of parties held here just driving past to get to my friends' place, so it seems a popular park for nearby families to hold their celebratory events. It's not as nice and new a gazebo as the newer neighborhood parks in the south parts of Elk Grove, as those have concrete picnic tables, but this one still sees a ton of use. There is also a tennis court, but unfortunately, there are only 2 courts and they're not marked/retrofitted for playing pickleball, like at some of the other EG parks. Also they're quite worn. The pavement on the courts are cracked/peeling and the perimeter were not well kept but dirty with some piece of litter that's not been picked up. I also saw a couple spots w/dog doo doo which means people are being disrespectful and letting their dog do their business on the edges of the courts and/or stray dogs are coming in and pooping, so that's not bueno. One of the nets was also badly damaged so it essentially doesn't work. The park has seen better days for sure, but it used to be very overgrown as their fields were not getting mowed down due to lack of funding. Our friends told us Cosumnes CSD finally found some funds to keep it up a bit better now, but also that some of the folks who are not from around this neighborhood, but only come for baseball games have trashed the park in the past, which is unfortunate. Hopefully, that situation has improved and people won't be so inconsiderate. I didn't go over to the baseball fields, so I didn't see if they're in good shape, but let's respect our parks. Parking is easy here with a dedicated lot and plenty of parking spaces, some of the spots have shade trees to park under too which is nice on a warmer day. All in all, this is a nice older neighborhood park, which hopefully will see some updating soon.
