If an area is reserved you'll see signs up for the timing. When there are bigger events the parking nearby tends to fill up, but when there aren't events you can usually find plenty of free parking nearby. The park has a basketball court, baseball field, tennis courts, picnic tables, disc golf, a skate park, a nice playground and even a pool. There are paved paths and there are multiple areas that are great for entertaining groups, including a stage area. They pack a lot into a relatively small area and while there's a lot to do it won't take you long to walk around. While we were walking around a family was having a party and plenty of people were utilizing the different areas for sports. There were also some people walking their dogs, like us, but some people had their dogs off leash in some of the bigger areas. There wasn't a dog park area. it was beautiful while we were there and everything was clean and well kept.

There's an amazing playground, with areas for big kids and small kids, all themed after the amusement park that used to be here. There's also basketball, including a court for kids with a low net. There's a skate park, tennis, frisbee golf, and baseball too. And, they have a large lap pool, wading pool, and splash pad for the warmer months. All in all, this is an amazing park, especially for kids, but really for anyone!

The trees make it feel relaxing and cool even in the summer. They also host community events here, like free gentle yoga in the park, which adds such a nice neighborhood vibe. It feels both peaceful and lively at the same time. The playground is large and space-themed, with climbing structures, multiple slides, swings (including toddler swings), a merry-go-round, and different areas for different ages. It's big enough that kids can stay busy for a while. The lake adds a really calming touch -- ducks, benches, fishing spots, and a paved path around it that's great for walking or casual biking. It's also good for dogs (on leash), especially during quieter weekday mornings. Best time to go is weekday mornings if you want it peaceful. Weekends can get crowded, especially mid-day, but that just shows how loved it is. Parking is street parking around the park -- usually fine on weekdays but can take a minute during busy times. There are public restrooms available -- standard city park bathrooms, functional but better earlier in the day. Overall, it's a relaxing but fun park with something for everyone. One of my favorite spots in Sacramento.

I visited Southside Park in Sacramento, CA [2115 6th St] on Saturday, 05/09/26 from 7:30 AM until…read more12:00 PM. I came here due to attending a special event. First, I went to the women's bathroom stall and it was dark inside with no lighting and wet all over the ground. It was slightly dirty, though, the outside pink building was beautiful. Thankfully, the event offered porta-potties, which were much cleaner than the actual bathroom stall. Most parks offer complimentary parking. This park charges for parking and the rates are as follows: $2.00 per hour or $7.00 for an all-day pass. The park provides a big pond area with a good handful of ducks. There is also a playground available for children's leisure and entertainment. Lastly, there are "exercise stations" placed throughout the park, which encourage more physical activity. Overall, it was a peaceful, beautiful, and spacious park.

It's kind of too wide open and too close to a busy intersection and sadly the immediate neighborhood of this park has gone downhill so it's not the safest. I wouldn't come at night, but it's pretty chill by day and I don't see any "activities" in daylight. The equipment and facilities are also kind of worn out and need to be updated. We only brought our kids here once or twice as the 95831 has many parks and there are definitely quite a few others that are better. Still it's good this park is here for the kids and families within walking distance. And it's relatively safe since it is right next to a fire station so I'm sure the less positive activities are more discouraged here. Lots of open space and grassy area, plus there's tennis courts that stay open till late, very brought lit, so that's a big positive if you're looking for a place to play tennis or the latest trend of pickle ball. This park has open courts that are usually not busy. There are also a small bball court and a skate park here, so a variety of activities for everyone. The one special feature I see people use a lot here is the disc golf course which looks cool and fun, but what do I know, lol. There are bathrooms here, but they do not look that great, so I did not try using them.

I came through here with my son and some friends. It's at the end of a dead end street nestled away in the middle of the neighborhood, so for those who have never been before it might be a little hard to find. The whole place is on the smaller side compared to some of the massive parks downtown, but what it lacks in space it makes up for with a great play structure and solid facilities. My son loved playing for hours and I loved that he was happy! Consider this next time you are looking for some place in the area to take the kids so they can blow off some steam.

I first saw the rendering for this magnificent structure in an issue of Metropolis magazine several years ago and had to rub my eyes when I read that it was going to be built in Sacramento. It was completed in 2004. This lovely modern glass, metal, and concrete structure was designed by the Lionakis Beaumont Design Group. It's a great place to visit for a number of reasons: - A place to enjoy art: this begins as you ascend from the parking lot, continues on the walkway and is incorporated throughout the building. - A place to be educated about the river: kiosks explain everything about the facility, the river, and water treatment. - A place to play: a wonderful in-ground fountain spurts arcs of water on an irregular, intermittent basis. Great fun for kids on a hot day! - An unusual vantage point to observe the river and our city. Sometimes the water fountain isn't operating, but you can easily tell if it isn't by looking down from I-5. Take the Richards Boulevard exit and head towards the river. It's a great spontaneous thing to do with the kids. Keep a change of clothes, towels and sunscreen in the car and you're good to go anytime. Regular hours are 9 AM to 3 PM; longer hours Spring/Summer. UPDATE: This park appears to have been renamed: "Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park" I originally listed it as "City Water Intake Facility" for lack of a better name. See http://www.cityofsacramento.org/parksandrecreation/parks/sites/matsui_photo.htm
