Kloss park play structure is just under a mile walk from Pederson Park. I say this because this…read morespot has a bathroom but Pederson does not but that spot has a zip lip :-) Kloss play structure has a bit of shade and the "big kid " play area can still accommodate some smaller kids (keep an eye on them though due to the height - but what little doesn't love a good ramp). The little kid play area is smaller than Pederson. There are two shade covered table areas in this park one close and one further away from these play structures. Quite a few other single tables and bbqs throughout and lots of trees. this park has baseball field and lots of lawn area. Restrooms are pretty decent the times I've needed to use it. Not too bad - better than a porta potty. Conveniently located functional drinking fountain for humans and dogs. If you wanted to get a coffee and meet up with friends - park at Starbucks by Bel Air and walk a little over a mile to this playground and back for a beautiful exercise experience.

The park is very good, we go to the park every night to ride our bikes and walk. We have always…read moreenjoyed this park and loved playing. But I have noticed that they TRIM the bushes and don't think about the weeds growing in the trail at the entrance at the end of the park. It has been there for more than a month and I see the CSD gardeners trim and cut the grass at the spot where it is. I have thought myself about pulling the weeds for them. Also, I have noticed that the bark in the planters are always kicked out on the sidewalk. I have once tripped on it. Like before, I would bring a big brush next time I go there and put it all in. This park is very great, but there are some cons. For example, the weeds are taking over the Bocce Ball Court (the fake grass at the picnic tables w/chess tables). But, my point is that they need to do a better job at the park gardening instead of just mowing and leaving. But, this park is a very good park, I reccomend coming to this park if you are in the 95757 area.

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.

Helen was a long time teacher here in Elk Grove and was honored by having a elementary school named after her in East Franklin (Helen Carr Castello Elementary School). For the safety of the children playing at Castello Park, a iron fence keeps the children secure. Other amenities of the park are an open play area for multi-purpose use, a one/half basketball court, picnic area with picnic tables and BBQ, play areas for both older and younger children. There are no shade structures here. Fortunately the mature trees provide adequate shade.

We used to come here all the time when our kids were little. They're "too cool" for parks now, but…read morewe still come here on walks and my kids still enjoy taking their bikes here and riding them around the park. Heck, sometimes they'll still play on the play structure and I'm totally cool with that, they're growing up too fast! Sometimes I'll bring a soccer or volleyball with me and kick/hit it around with my son and have some father-son bonding time. It's a good thing. We can get competitive and give each other some good exercise. The other feature we like about this park besides the walking trail, the tall oak trees that give it a secluded oasis feel, and the play structure, is the exercise equipment side of the park, on the southeast corner. My kids like to get on the balance beam and try to walk across it quickly and try to push each other off. My daughter used to be really good on monkey bars and she'd climb those over and over too. Good times. We've also met quite a few nice neighbors here just by chatting it up, otherwise people keep to themselves in this area, but it is good to make some new friends and watch out for each other. A nice park to create your own experiences and memories! Just remember to use the bathroom before you come here as there's no restroom facilities here which is the one negative.

The play structures are great for littles (I'd say 2 to 10), there's shaded areas to sit, and it's always clean and well cared for. There's a workout area for the adults, too, and if you keep your eyes peeled there's a fairy door hiding. My only gripe - and honestly, it's a big one! - is that there are no restrooms. If those were added this would be a perfect spot. But as is, it's pretty damn good and we're super happy to have it in the neighborhood.
