Very nice, and well maintained park. If you are in the area it is worth a visit. ENJOY

Overall, this is a great park with plenty of space and options for all ages. There are two large open fields, a basketball area, and two separate playgrounds, one specifically designed for younger kids. On warm days, the splash area is a huge plus and a great way to cool off. It does get pretty busy in the evenings, so keep that in mind if you're looking for a quieter experience. My only concern is that the younger kids' playground doesn't have any shade coverings. During the summer, the equipment, especially the slides, can get really hot, and I often hear little ones mention it. Still, it's a solid neighborhood spot with lots to offer! read more

This is a nice park. It's a good size and there is also a soccer field. There are often barbecues and parties happening on the weekends here there are plenty of tables to host a party. There are two separate jungle gyms, one for the younger kids and one for the older kids. There is a splash pad that's open during the summer months overall a good place to take your kids But often times there's a lot of mosquitoes in this area so be mindful of that. read more

This park has it all! Covered picnic tables for parties, bathrooms, basketball hoop area, small kids playground, a big kids playground, lots of benches, swings, drinking foundation, and lots of trees for shade. My kids love this park, it's less than 5 minutes drive to this park for us. I can see this place being a hit with birthday parties, I will definitely keep this place in mind for future gatherings! read more

We had such a fun time at this park, we had walked a few miles on the paths nearby and stopped into Valley Oak Park to let our dog run around and burn off any remaining energy before it got too hot. The dog park here has two large fenced in areas, one for smaller dogs and one for larger dogs and there is plenty of room for them to run, chase balls and meet one another. There were some shady spots and benches available as well as a water fountain. The areas were a mixture of grass and dirt and while the grass wasn't lush and green it was great for running around in and playing fetch. In the park there's also basketball courts, tennis, exercise areas, a playground and access to the walking paths. There may be even more, but we didn't get to explore it all. We can't wait to go back again, especially when the weather cools off and we can play longer. Our dog is napping peacefully now after a fun day out! read more

Started taking my dog here to socialize with other dogs and it's a pretty nice dog park! It has a side for small dogs and a side for large dogs. I like how the park is big enough for my little dog to run around but not too big where I'm not able to see him. He always has a blast whenever we take him and there's also a drinking fountain for dogs. It's pretty clean and I notice that dog owners actually pick up after their dogs! read more

Best dog park in Natomas. It was big and beautiful lol that's what she said. Not but seriously I've been to at least 5 other parks and none compare. They have a smaller dog park and a larger one too!! It's huge I had to walk it just to see where it ended. No need for water bowl they have doggie friendly stations. We found some toys to play with but brought our own just in case. From what the people we met everyone is very in clean with waste and watches for aggression. You know how dogs are lol but good thing people here I heard are responsible for any such situation They have doggy pool too but make sure to bring towels!! Trust me from experience lol Good view of the playground, tennis park, and basketball court. All around a great place to bring your Dogs and I guess your kids too haha Only thing I didn't see doggy bags so bring plenty!! I know Herc likes shitting at least 5 times in a new places! read more

I attended a Memorial Day event at this park a couple of weeks back. I've been in the Natomas area plenty of times over the years, but I never knew this park existed. With that being said, it's a newer park so it's maintained very well. They have a spacious, covered picnic area, which worked out great since it was super hot during the day of the event. They also have basketball courts, a place to play volleyball, 2 playgrounds, a large field to play football/soccer/extreme Frisbee, and a large horse that sprays water from its nose & from the ground. Since it was hot, I didn't explore too much else of the park, so I'm sure there are things here that I haven't listed. My only real complaint was the bathrooms, or lack there of. From what I remember, there was only one port-a-potty for the entire park (from the area I saw anyway). read more

Valley oak park has a lot of things to do here. And stuff for all ages. You have the younger kids play area and the older kids play area. Then they even have a huge horse that is a water sprayer for the summer time heat . There is a basketball ball court, tennis court, a wall for wall ball, hand ball, butts up what evah yiu might call it they got the wall for it. There is a walking trail that goes around it with i think some of the stretching and minor working out stations. Haven't used them been a while since i looked here. Might easily have it confused with the other many parks i goto.. but i do use this park for the dog park they have. They have 2 one for the small under 25lbs and the bigger over 25lbs. The big dog side has a lot of open space, some hilly sides to it. So you and your dog can get some exercise if you wanna play chase and run with them, if not they have 2 tables and a few benches to sit on! There is a water fountain for the dogs and the humans if anyone gets thirsty. Sometimes people will leave a kids size pool(3 to 4 foot round ones or so) during the summer for the dogs to play in. If it rains out or gets over watered there is a few spots that will get slight muddy, but not to bad. I haven't seen to many dogs during the morning time here. There has been a lot at night and the majority has been huskies. But have seen a few St. Bernards, a dalmatian, Australian sheep herders. The only down side is no bathrooms, not even porto potties. So if yiu come with little kids remember to have them go before you venture to this park, if not there is a shopping plaza close by roughly under 1 mile away. read more

I'm from Sac.....and hands down........This is the best park I've ever been to in the Sacramento area. I live in Hawaii now, and all the playgrounds there are JUST...bleh. If you're an adult, this place will bring out your inner child. There are 2 play structures - one for children older than 5, one for younger kids, 2 tennis courts, a multi-basketball court, swings, picnic tables, a covered group picnic area with barbecue, two dog parks (big dogs and small dogs), exercise stations for adults along a walking path and several large lawn areas. The park's covered picnic area and HUGE bbq grill looks like it would be perfect for a birthday party or family reunion. The only downside I see about having a party here, though, is that there are NO RESTROOMS. I get it....it's a neighborhood park. If you gotta use the bathroom, just walk home. But, to have a party area big enough for about 100 people and have no bathrooms could be a problem. The best feature, in my opinion, is the 15-foot-tall figure of a horse, which sprays a fine water mist through the horse's nostrils. Also, water sprays out from the ground. All of it is activated by a button that you can step on. It lasts for about 30 seconds. My 2 year old had so much fun. Not to mention, myself and my parents. I've never ever ever seen my parents climb and play at the playground before........which proves that this particular playground brings out your inner child. read more

Love this dog park! Plenty of benches, grass, and very clean. There's an area for small dogs and larger dogs. Not sure why I have never been here before, but glad I took my dog here. There were plenty of smaller dogs that were playing with my dog. Only thing I didn't like is owners allowing their larger dogs in the small dog area. My dog doesn't do well with big dogs so owners should be more cognizant of this. read more

Great park for the dogs, there's a lot of grass and benches for you to sit at while you dog runs around and plays.

Visited the park in November 2018. The park had plenty of space to run and green grass for dogs to play. The park looks very similar to Regency Park. There was shade provided by a canopy and some young trees. On a Saturday afternoon there were a few other dogs and the park appeared well maintained. read more
