Madera Park

Great family park.Highlights:-lots of shade;-baby play area fenced off;-great parking;-huge area for sports;-diversity in play area ageWe came here with our 19 month old and loved it. Baby and toddler friendly. Will be our new go-to spot.

Hey long time resident here (about two decades because I lived here almost my entire life despite moving to a couple places in the past), in my beliefs, This park is great for a stroll around my neighborhood, and thus humane and safe! (you're dang right it may NOT be the cleanest but it's definitely one of the SAFEST places to hang around with your family and friends. You can even take your dog there for some exercises!) I mean if the place isn't clean enough, we can all volunteer to participate in the trash removal! And put up posts and online advertisements to take care after our park. Prior to my experiences;It's often very peaceful for me to walk around, I often head over there during dusk whenever I can't breathe properly due to my anxiety attacks and sometimes to de-stress from random mental tantrums (my mind is trying to kill me) and to separate from terrible disorientated stress of my surroundings at home, but hey, bad things happen all the time, and you should definitely go take a walk whenever you're feeling stressed and anxious (if you do feel that way I'm sorry), take a breather while you're outside, it really helps to sort things out :) The grass is always green (how do they stay that like that all year round?!), the air is usually fresh and cool (except when it isn't due to fires and smoke pollution) and people mostly mind their own business playing in the tennis and basketball courts and exercising while listening to music, some people run and jog a couple rounds throughout the sidewalks, while others play fetch with their dogs and puppies in the grassy lands, I forgot to say, it's also a dog oriented park! Although some people may walk their dogs off leash, so watch your steps. (Not that the dogs are dangerous, just keep your eyes out and you're always safe, remember, report anything that you find suspicious or un-safe, there's a banner with a number to report to if you sense danger. Basically from my experience, I have never encountered someone that had posed an actual threat to me, and most people are friendly here! Don't worry lol) I always take my dog, Buddy, for walks here, he's really friendly, and he has helped me cope throughout the challenges I have faced. You might even see us walking around!

Awesome park to play ball bbq or just relax with so many trees. It's shady in the good way

Very convenient to get too. The parking can be scarce on weekends when it's game time for the little ones.Play structure does have ware to it but amazing and fun for all ages.There is a tennis and basketball court as well.You can also book picnic areas for events.Highly recommend.

So unfortunate that you have to leave a park immediately after getting there with your kids because trash people shatter alcohol bottles all over a child's park. It's summer and kids are wear flip flops and open toed shoes and most of this glass you can barely see since it's clear. Also, not saying bums did this but there was a cart stacked with shit in the park and it's really sad seeing more and more homeless people everywhere especially at one of our favorite parks (not our favorite for long if it doesn't get cleaned

Beautiful! There was a lot of shade, and a lot of different activities/space for all ages! My only complaint was that it was a little dirty. There was quite a bit of trash on the ground/around the garbage cans. Not sure if someone was going through the trash cans or not, but it needed maintenance.Other than that, it was beautiful! Will visit again!

Green, peaceful, trees galore! Little road noise from Su rise Ave, absolutely lovely! First time here, drove by it and knew it was a winner.

My grandtwins and I love this beautiful friendly park. It's clean and quiet. The other patrons are kind and the staff very professional. They take lots of care in their work and it shows. We shall return lots in the future.
