The park has an open space for multi-purpose use , a play area with a play structures for younger children as well as older children. Both play areas have slides, swings, and climbing structures. The park also has a restroom. What sets this park apart from most parks is that it offers bikers/walker an opportunity to ride/ walk along a scenic path that runs from Emerald Vista Park to another park a shot distance away "Canyon Creek Park". Great park for your morning/evening walk !

The park has two different play areas: one for little kids and one for older kids. In the little kid area, there are fun swings to swing your baby and swing yourself at the same time. There is a small play structure with two different slides. On the big kid side, the slides are huge! There are also innovative swings that seat three people. There is a climbing structure and a balance beam. There is a large seating area with tons of shade. A single bathroom is also on the property. Next to the park is a large field, big enough to play fetch with your dog. Huge upgrade and a great place to take your kid.

Earlier in the year I visited Lake Canyon Park which is just a short distance from Canyon Creek Park. While at the park I found out that the two parks are connected by a scenic trail. This sounded very intriguing, so naturally I had to check it out. Canyon Creek Park was everything that I had imagined and more ! The park was quite large and very well maintained. It has an play area for older children as well as for younger children. Both play areas have swings, slides, and climbing structures . Wisteria vines covering the picnic area provided plenty of shade. Other amenities that the park had to offer was one/half basketball court, restroom, and a scenic walking/biking trail that will take you to another park just a short distance away "Lake Canyon Park." Wonderful park for your weekend family gathering, or morning / evening walks ! Enjoy !

The children play area is quite small, only consisting of a climbing structure and swing set. The park has a few picnic tables, but no shaded structures or BBQ's. It also has a large parking lot, restroom, 3 softball diamonds and 4 Soccer field (Seasonal). With the main emphasis of this park being softball and soccer, I would consider this to be more of a sports complex rather than a park. The softball area is well maintained and offers bench seating for spectators ! I would not make a special trip to visit this park . But if you happen to be in the area, just remember there are only a few shade trees here. So make sure you bring your sun screen, an umbrella for shade and plenty of water !

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!
