Georgia Metcalfe Trippa year ago
Great park with a HUGE slide, two play structures (on opposite sides of the park) and swings for big and small kiddos (regular seats and bucket seats). Pro tip: the type of fabric of your child’s pants/shorts will determine how fast or slow they go on the big metal slide. If they wear fleece there will be less friction versus jeans, for example. First time we visited here, my toddler went down a little too fast due to this oversight. Also, consider bringing cardboard for your kids to use to slide down. Slide can get hot. We’ve noticed a communal pile that locals keep on the side and it’s nice if others can contribute too. ♥️

This is a beautiful park that holds up to the atmosphere and family experience you'd hope to find in a Pleasanton park. There truly is so much to do here for all ages! The separate playgrounds with attached signage indicating suggested age range use is a nice touch. We also appreciated the signage reminding visitors to not climb up the slides. The zipline feature is a blast for all ages. The fields were all exceptionally manicured. The entire park itself is very clean and inviting to humans and wildlife alike. The walking trails are very nice. Only suggestion would be that they need to add additional signage indicating where things are located. The property itself is pretty big and you can soak up your time trying to figure out where to go/park for what you have come for. Great park!
