Came here on a weekend afternoon and this time, we hit the pickleball courts. I've not even been to…read morethis part of the park, could've fooled me, all this time I thought these were tennis courts, haha. Just goes to show how much I know. My kids started playing pickleball, and came to a clinic taught be a coach. It was good times. The courts are nice, they are heavily used according to the wife, as tons of people from all around town come here to play quite competitively in the mornings. Recreational players who are so good, they look like pros to us. Anyways, lots of retired folks and others who come to play because this is a great sport for all. Well, the kids look like they have enjoyed it so far, it looks to be fun. There's 6 courts here and very spacious. Nets look in good condition, courts look good too, the pavement looks a little worn here and there, but I also could tell it's all kept up pretty well. The fence here is good too, so it's pretty secluded, there's some seating w/a couple of tables w/a shaded patio cover right by the courts for resting if not playing. I took a few pictures of the BBQ area so I'd remember how much room there is for future parties, plenty of picnic tables and the water feature/spray park area is nice too. That part won't start till after Memorial Day, according to the wife. It was windy the day we came for pickleball, but I ended up playing a few games too after the clinic ended, and wife and I both had a good workout and it was fun. Must work these old bones or we'll fall apart, haha We'll be back.

Adj: Fantastically Fun!…read more Oasis Community Park, a highly anticipated park that opened several years ago at the corner Knotts and Whitelock Parkway between the newer Walmart on Whitelock and the Elk Grove Auto Mall. My kids really like this park, it's not my favorite as a parent and I'll go into that later, but this park is one of the newest ones in Elk Grove and it's been a good one, even though it's now been open about 3+ years, we've not bored of it at all. We used to come here a lot, but my kids are a bit older now and they're not as into parks anymore, but if we meet up with their friends here and have a "park date," then they're totally up for it b/c there's a lot to do here. First there's a concrete walking trail around the whole park, so parents can walk their dogs or just themselves =P around and keep an eye on their kids at the same time. One side of the park (north side) features an OASIS water spray zone where there's several water shooting from the ground thingamabobs (yup!) as well as some coming out of fake palm trees and animals that are quite powerful and give the kids a fun run for their money as they try to dodge the water OR run across the water features over and over again or jump on them to get super wet. This is great in the hot dry summers in EG. On the south side of the park are several play structures for different age groups. There's climbing ones and sliding down ones, and swings and a small ropes course type structure. I like that there's playgrounds designed for different age groups based on their age appropriate development. So the 1 star knocked off is that as a parent, this park is super spread out and there's not really any shaded areas (there's the general tarp shades over each play structure) w/SEATING for parents to be close to so they can supervise their kids (at least when they're little), the giant gazebo (more details below) is all the way in the middle of the park and the structures are more towards the southern part, so it's harder to watch one's kids especially if each kid wants to play in a different section. So that's a bit of a safety issue and why it's not my favorite park to take my kids to from a parent's POV. Other offerings at Oasis park are great too, to include an exercise equipment section, basketball court, 2 soccer fields that are lighted at night, multiple pickleball courts that are opened and lighted till late like 10p, and a couple of tennis courts too. Then there's also a concrete ping pong table (may need the stronger balls for this), a dog park, a huge gazebo right in the middle of the park that is perfect for parties, with 2 BBQs grills built-in with 8 tables, 2 smaller gazebos with 1 built-in BBQ, all of which are great as a hanging out place for parents and kids alike to cool down after fun in the sun. There's also so much open grass area for free play, volleyball, or just running around, and everything's nicely landscaped and maintained, so there's no lack of fun to be had here. Overall, Oasis Park is an excellent park and definitely one of the best if not the best park in EG!

This park is a hidden gem! I had no idea it existed until I was looking up places to feed ducks at…read morewith my toddlers. We came on a Saturday evening around 6 pm and it was not crowded like most parks in EG. It has so much to offer! A huge open area of grass free to let your dogs and/or kids run, fly kites, have a picnic or if you're looking for a peaceful stroll there is also a serene trail to walk. The park is very unique and had my 3 year old so busy running up and down that massive hill, haha! My husband brought up a good point that they didn't have any swings to go on. Not a deal breaker for me but heads up for parents who have kids that love those. We did end up having dinner here to allow more playtime for our 3 year old. They have a few concrete picnic tables by the park and some more underneath their covered space by the water. Unlike EG Park, they had chest height fencing which was a plus because we're always scared for our kids falling in to the water. The fence didn't impede the view for us or our kids. They were all able to see the ducks, turtles, and birds as we fed them. I'd also like to add that these birds and ducks are not as aggressive as EG Park! I'd love to come back here again with a few toys to extend our visit and maximize all the amenities this park has to offer.

Right next to Bartholomew Park, you'll find one of my favorite simple pleasures in the area--a huge…read moreopen grassy space that somehow always feels peaceful even when people are enjoying it. This park isn't about playground structures or a ton of built features. It's really about the space. The grassy field is massive, and on weekends you'll usually see soccer teams practicing, families tossing a ball around, or people spreading out blankets for picnics. One of my favorite things when I'm walking my dogs is just seeing people stretched out in the grass enjoying the park. There's something about that scene that makes the whole neighborhood feel calm and connected. The park also sits right along the lake, which gives you beautiful water views on both sides. Every walk feels a little different depending on the light and the season. I've seen swans gliding across the water more than once, and oddly enough I've even spotted koi fish in there too. I've been walking my dogs here daily since the 90s when we first moved to Laguna West, and it's still something I genuinely look forward to every single day. That says a lot about a park. Small moment I love: the summer sunsets here are incredible. When the sun drops over the lake and the sky starts glowing, it turns an everyday dog walk into something that feels pretty special. Helpful tip: If you're looking for a quiet place to relax, bring a blanket and sit closer to the water's edge. The breeze off the lake makes it one of the most peaceful spots in the neighborhood. Some parks are about activities. This one is about slowing down--and after all these years, it still does that perfectly.

Named after Elizabeth Pinkerton who is nationally recognized for her innovative and creative thinking. Built in 2008 this park offers a large playground with swings for the kids, a half basketball court, a covered structure gazebo with BBQ, open play area, and is also connected to walking trails on either side of the park . The only issues that I found were : location of the park was next to a busy intersection ! And parking was limited to street parking only. But over-all this is a lovely community park that offers it neighbors a safe and clean place for the kids to play, and for active adults with their miles of hiking trial. I will definitely be back in warmer weather to take advantage of their walking trials. A park that offers amenities for children and adults deserves a solid "3 Stars !"
