Large park in the Pocket/Greenhaven area! Visited for the first time last weekend for a soccer tournament! Lots of field area to play said soccer and they also have tennis courts! We saw people playing Pickleball which was cool!The only issue is parking - they do have a parking lot, but since this is a boat launch park, the spots are supposed to be used for boat trailers. You need to park on the street which can be a pain on busy weekends!It's a great park for events and I hope to come back soon!

Driving by and noticed people on what use to be tennis courts. New pickle ball courts are open to the public. Very classy.Apparently this sport is taking off.

The levee upgrade along the Sacramento River next to the Garcia Bend boat launch facility is finally done. The main entrance, which runs along the west end of the park, has been resurfaced and is no longer riddled with potholes. The tow truck/trailer parking lot has also been resurfaced and clearly marked with those long stalls for trucks and boat trailers. There is a new "ParkMobile" kiosk on the east end of the lot next to the restrooms where boaters and fisherman are expected to pay for use of the launch ramp and parking tow trucks and boat trailers. The old uneven steep walk way from the boat parking lot to the launch ramp and pier has also received a very nice "refresh". The new and improved walkway is much wider, it's wheelchair accessible with a lower more manageable grade, and it's equipped with handrails on both sides. (Insert heart emoji here :-). Thanks to the army corps of engineers as well as the california department of water resources and flood controls agency Garcia bend park looks spectacular and the levee is safe and ready to withstand heavy winter precipitation.

Regional park most notable for being a famous fishing spot and boat launch park. There is a soccer field and tennis courts to boast as well. I use Garçon a Bend as my stopping point for my walk with Lucie. According to the Yelp App it is 1.6 miles from Caffe Latte making about a 3.5 mile round trip. I don't really like walking here as there are too many people around. There is also a pay box for using parking here but I don't know if that is currently being enforced. The walk from Garcia Bend to Shore Park along the levee is about 10 minutes or less.

After attending a memorial service for my aunt who passed away a year ago, the family arranged for us to gather at this lovely little park for lunch. (My cousins ordered chicken and beef teriyaki bento boxes from Akebono and an assortment of manju from Osaka-Ya.)When we arrived they had secured a sheltered picnic area with plenty of tables, all covered with tablecloths and more than enough room for us to visit with each other and safely interact. One table was set up with a flood of photographs of my aunt and her family. It was a bittersweet time for getting together as I had not seen many of my cousins since 2017, when another one of my aunt's had passed away.Outside of where we were is a fairly large grassy area, most of it underneath large shade trees, and heaps of space for the kids to run around. There are play structures for kids to play on, release some of their natural energy. There was another celebration of sorts happening with another group and their BBQ smelled off the hook!Parking was easy and it was a short walk to the picnic tables. The restroom facilities are close by and clean. I think it is a great place for holding larger gatherings or just a family outing. Very pleasant overall.

This is my go to park when I have nothing else to do. It's recently been renovated making it even better. Nice picnic area, plenty of trees, clean washrooms, and long walk/bike trails along the river and several beach hidden beach spots once you get down there.

This is such a beautiful park with a great walking or biking trail along the River. I am lucky to live nearby and I take my dog out here at least twice a week. He and I both enjoy the exercise and scenery. Everyone seems really friendly out on the trail; usually it's well populated with dog walkers, joggers, or bikers. The trail is kept clean and I feel safe out there.

I love this park because you can access the Sacramento River Bike Trail here and it leads to the trail at the Bill Conlin Youth Sports Complex. This trail is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and is my go to running trail. It's a flat trail. I'm not exactly sure of the exact mileage of the trail but I usually do my 5k runs here. One day I hope to have enough stamina to run the whole trail from the Bill Conlin Youth Sports Complex to Garcia Bend Park. I've gotten some amazing sunset photos from this trail and I always see people walking, biking, or fishing. Everyone is always friendly. One side of the trail is the Sacramento River and the other side are beautiful homes! There is a small boat launch dock where you can take some beautiful photos (engagement or couple pictures). Just time it right so you can some beautiful colors in the sky. I docked off one star because sometimes people do not pick up after their animals so you do see some fecal matter.
