Cool park in Vallejo/Benicia. Came to take my son today to get some exercise, he had a blast. The slide structure reminds me lightly of the treehouse in Discovery Kingdom, definitely as not well kept but still operational. The park was free today so that was nice, not a lot of people around. I could imagine this park gets a lot more visitors on the weekend. I do recommend coming here if you're looking for a place for your little one to exercise and have fun.

Beautiful grounds with a vast amount of area for kids to run around. Beautiful backdrop. Lots of picnic tables and the playground boasts a super tall slide. Not disability friendly however. The bathroom is quite a walk from parking lot and on uneven ground. Would not work well with a walker or wheelchair. Otherwise a nice park.

Grew up coming here as a kid, and brought my toddler for the first time, hoping we'd see the peacocks. We saw four of them! They're pretty friendly/weren't very shy of us. They didn't show off their feathers for us, but they allowed us to get pretty close and they're oh so beautiful!The playground area is well-kept with a HUGE slide structure!!

Decided it was a great day for a hike. We googled not too strenuous trails nearby and landed here. We walked the grounds and observed beautiful peacocks casually strolling about along with countless squirrels. I mean A LOT of squirrels! We found the entrance to the trail and discovered it is a 3/4 okay maybe 1/2 a mile trek uphill. I'm in pandemic shape and the benches that are strategically placed at the end of each zig and zag are a good send. We made it in spite of the repeated warnings of rattlesnakes in the area.The view was well worth the effort. The goal is to go a little further on the next visit and there will be a next visit.

Blue Rock Springs is the jewel in the crown of Vallejo's vast array of public parks. Its well-designed landscape is just huge enough, features a variety of Vallejo's virile vertebrates, and is a great local venue for kids and barbecuing families to enjoy the sunshine.4 . 4 S T A R S* LANDSCAPE LOVEExpansive yet manageable with a bit of flatness and a bit of incline. Lots of grass, eucalyptus, and sky. Sniff the Sulfur Springs, cross the little bridge, and find a petite pond and private promontory. The rear heights of the park provide a gateway to the hiking and exploration of Vallejo's blonde and craggy hills.* FUNTASTIC FAUNAThe regulars::::: Peacocks -- Find the boys and the feathers they drop at the rear of the park. Sometimes they fly up into the big eucalyptus tree behind the fence.:::: Turtles -- See them sunbathing from the rear corner of the pond. I once counted 10 of them!:::: Dragonflies:::: Squirrels -- Both the tree and ground varieties.The visitors::::: Turkeys -- A small flock of these rebels visit from time to time.:::: Great Blue Heron -- Hangs out in the pond.:::: Red Tail Hawks -- Hunting from above.:::: Woodpecker -- Making noise behind the rear fence.:::: Turkey Vultures -- Occasionally drop their impressive black feathers.The dearly departed::::: Black roosterA proud cock once patrolled the greenery between the play structure and the pond. Rest in peace, fair fowl, where ever you've transitioned to.* A BUFFET OF BBQ BACKDROPSPick from the plethoric parade of positions to picnic and party -- 9 places to be precise! The Pines, The Grove, Trailside, Lake, Peacock Roost, Parkview, Lower Vista, Upper Vista, Entire Vista Area.* SUNNY PLAYSTATIONThe well mulched play structures are a bootcamp of joy for every girl and boy. The 3-level play tower is a wonder to behold and and slide down from on a sunny Saturday.* (0.4) LOCAL CHARMERSEncounter well-mannered locals and pick up on their unpretentious pleasantness.0 . 6 M I N U S E S- (0.2) PARKING FEEMake sure to bring $5 on the summer weekends, and don't even think about parking across the street at the golf course because they WILL call a tow-truck.- (0.4) IT'S MORE OF A VALLEJO THINGI mean, I wouldn't spend gas-money to get out there.

I really like to go to different recreational parks. This one was definitely one of my favorites; quiet. They have a few nice bridges w/ cute lakes & lots of spacious, grassy areas. ** $5 parking. That's the only downside, but be prepared!There are so many dragonflies! When we were there, a dragonfly was just hanging out on my friend's pants. LOL The dragonfly was so famous, because a lot of us were taking videos and photos of it, because it was so still!As my husband and I were leaving the location, we saw an ice cream truck. That's cool, that they hang out around there, for people to grab some ice cream on a hot day! Hey, why not? make some business!If you're planning to have a party at a park in the Vallejo area, this is definitely a "go to" spot to have it at.

$5 parking fee per vehicle when you enter.Park is great for picnics and BBQs, but when it comes to hiking the trail, it can be a bit disappointing.The trail is very bumpy and you can easily roll your ankle. There is a lot of cow and dog poop throughout the whole trail as well as a much of thorns bushes along the way. We ended up at the fire station down the road and decided to just walk back taking the sidewalk down the road since we were tired of all the poop and cracked trails.I would come back to enjoy the park, but will not go back on the trail.

Not the biggest hiking spot in the area however it does extend to the other side if you keep on walking towards the hills.But it was pretty challenging. Hiking up can really take your breath away, literally! I do wish that they clean up the pieces of glass that was left there by litters, and the graffiti. Overall pretty good place with family

My favorite local park for picnics,bbqs and parties for big groups with lots of space and lots of trees. The only place I know of where you can hike with peacocks! At the top of the hike you can take in the beautiful view of Vallejo, Benicia and beyond! There's also a big pond where I used to take my boys on weekdays after school to feed the ducks and collect tadpoles. Lots of fun!
