Another park in San Leandro that I run through and ride my bike through…read more This park is in a nice neighborhood, in the Floresta Gardens area of San Leandro, right next to James Monroe Elementary School. 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.

This park is really cute. It has a lot of green grass and space but it also is limited. It's…read morelimited in the sense that it's a nice park but there is no restroom. 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.

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...

One car speeds down the road going maybe 20 miles over the speed limit - a few seconds later an old mustang peels out and fishtails around without any control of its direction. From the people speeding down the street - that alone I wouldn't let my cat out in this area - let alone any other human loved one. You would think people would have more respect in areas kids play or go to school but they don't. Dead lawn - tons of it - trash and cars that probably didn't move in months clutter the streets. I hate to hate on some park - and maybe you live nearby and its your jam - but likely this place wouldn't attract anybody who lives more than a block or two away. Your here because its in your back yard or you stumbled on it. To me parks like this are bad enough I would think the city might be better off redeveloping or rethinking the space.

The statue here is dedicated to the Portuguese Immigrants, and is what stands out here. As you walk around the park, you'll find stairs that lead under the road, or what I now know is a small bridge. Running brought me to this park, and I'm glad it did!!!
