Ulysses S. Grant Park

My sister had a little pre-wedding BBQ at the park for 60ish of us guests. We brought in rented tables and chairs, but the park’s ground were stable enough for folks to sit all afternoon at the tables and not sink into the turf. Rain had hit Sacramento pretty hard that morning, and we specifically chose the location behind the playground because it seemed to be the driest grassy area. Folks in pretty dresses and expensive shoes had no problem walking around and sitting on the lawn. Our party was from 4-7, and about 6pm a group of locals showed up to play some soccer. Because we had scooted ourselves to the far east side, the players were able to make a field on the other side.

I love this park, great for dogs and they have lights for the softball field so you can still take your pup there at night if u get off work late!!

Allways stop to let my dog run if it looks empty or not to hot the park some times really busy but good place to chill with ur buddies and people watch

My wunderdog Sequoia, and I come to this park almost on a daily basis. It's one of the best parks to let your dog run free. She's not really a dog she's a little girl in a dogs costume. I digress. It's a pretty safe Park if you're aware of your surroundings at all times.. I'm always there drawing

Of the two parks I play xoso softball at, this one is in worse shape. The grass is lumpy (hope I dont roll an ankle) and the dirt is pretty hard packed. Still decent.
