Gold River Park

We went on a drive around Sacramento visiting parks in search of places to roll in the grass, look at flowers, and swing on the swings. According to the rating system formulated by a teenager, this one is top par. The playground is nice, with "bigger" kid swings and a swirling slide. We gave extra points for the spinning thing that you run on top of, and a musical set of notes that you can play tunes on! Some parks they make tapping noises, this park they make musical sounds. Close to the elementary school garden that has pretty tulips and leads into a relaxing set of trails through the neighborhood villages. Would be nice if there was a bathroom, unless I missed it. Very well maintained, saw someone cleaning while we were there. Plenty of parking along the street. Yay park!

This is a pretty nice park the large playground. It has baby swings and a small kids area and a large Kids area with slides and some climbing structures.

Great little quiet park in the middle of my neighborhood near my home in Sacramento. I use it in the mornings on occasions as a turnaround point for a morning run. They have some picnic benches and a nice playground if you have little kids. This park is not overly utilized and is well maintained and clean. There are paths nearby that lead to trails that will take you to the American River. Thank you Cordova Recreation and Park District for maintaining such a nice park in my neighborhood. There are also four BBQ pits here. For more information about the park here you can visit: http://crpd.com/wp-content/uploads/CRPD-Athletic-Field-Facility-Rental-Information.pdf .
