Howe Community Park

Trails to walk near beautiful creeks with tons of mallards, lots of trees and shade along the path, playground for kids to okay, pond where you're allowed to fish, BBQ grills, bathroom, baseball diamond, tennis courts, basketball courts, disc golf course, bathroom, parking lot.Best park in the area.Glad it's in my neighborhood.

A friend invited me to meet up with her and her dog on a gorgeous weekend afternoon. This park has a lot going for it! There's a decently sized dog park. It could use more seating for the humans, but there's ample room for the dogs to run around. There's even a smaller dog park adjoining the main one for, I assume, smaller dogs or perhaps less social ones.There are a few paths that can take you to various other parts of the park, like a playground, pond, basketball courts, a baseball diamond or two, bathrooms, shaded eating areas... this park really has it all. Its biggest asset is lots and lots of green space. Lots of families were gathered for weekend picnics or lounging.There's a decent amount of parking in the center of the park, though I think you can also park around the perimeter.

I can't say it's one of the most beautiful park with an abundance of offerings, but I can say it's still a great community resource and a park I have visited on many occasions! Just having this resource in the neighborhood is great, especially for those who live close by who can take advantage of it frequently. There are numerous amenities within the property, including a good sized dog park, another dog park for even smaller dogs, a baseball diamond that is in ok shape, a playground and basketball courts. There are also a number of walking paths and a pond which is a spot where I have spent the most time enjoying the outdoors and a spot where I also take my son. You could drive around and compare other parks based on its merits, but what's the point? If you live near Howe Community Park you can rest assured you have a pretty nice park in your neighborhood.

My childhood park growing up. It's a huge acres of different amenities. Dog parks, fishing ponds, tennis courts, volleyball, picnic grills, etc. I had always enjoy coming here as a kid. With the constant way the city is changing now it's a bit hard to try to enjoy the land. So, stay alert and take precautions.

Howe Park is a nice park. Nothing special about it, but more than some other parks I've seen.LOCATION:This park is located in the perfect area. No buildings close by, no neighborhoods and not a high traffic area. Getting in and out of the parking lot is as easy as it gets. The park is usually filled with people no matter the time nor weather.AESTHETICS:There are some nice trees, open field areas and a pond with a fountain. Compared to other parks in Sacramento, this one has the bare minimum. FEATURES:There is a community public house in which I've seen anything from birthday celebrations to holiday parties. There is a small play area for children and a few tables and benches. There is also a baseball field and volley ball net. EXPERIENCE:I only come to this park for 1 reason. Pokémon. It's a great place to walk around and hit the few stops they have at the park. There are about 5 pokestops here and a gym at the pond. You'll see plenty of others out there doing the same. All in all it's a safe place for family events and casual meetups.

This is another one of my favorite parks in Sacramento. Have been coming to Howe Park for years. It's a simple, basic park and still manage to provide the essentials to enjoy your favorite outdoor activity. There's a playground, benches/tables, a pond for fishing, a cute gazebo, softball diamond, a small dog park, a volleyball net, and a basketball court. I love that this park is big and spacious enough to run and or going on a nice stroll. There are bathrooms available for use. There are ducks and people walking dogs at every turn, so, be careful of stepping in poop!!

I've clocked more hours at this park than almost many! My Dad lived around corner, we grew UP at this park. I played competitive softball here as teen, young adult, and into my 40's.I've "retired" from competitive play, but return as a photographer to capture old friends playing in tournaments. This park holds MANY memories!For 4 years I basically worked across street (Ethan Way) and walked this park EVERY day for lunch.Love visiting often, and getting my NOSTALGIA on!

Four stars because I didn't utilize everything. But.. they did have 2 dog areas (nothing special there) a trail to walk (paved) it said start mile here, but no other signs when I'm the trio forked. There was a kid playground that looked amazing. A Softball area with people playing and volley ball too. I notice one small information board. There was a good size pond with about 4-5 people fishing from the sides and a gazebo along with benches to sit around. Luscious green grass. Ample parking. I didn't utilize the club house. Everyone I ran into were friendly. I didn't notice any doggy trash bag stands (I had my own, but I like seeing those too). I really enjoyed seeing a great park in a nice neighborhood with people enjoying it. Now if the ducks would pose for pics and they'd update the dog areas this park would (or could be amazing).

This place is terrible when it comes to fishing durbies, no space at all. Definitely needs a better system

This park is simply awful.Unsupervised kids acting like delinquents, parents who are probably stoned. Birds chasing people to get food. Kids chasing birds because it seems fun (it's cruel). Lotsa trash. Not relaxing at all. The epitome of Sacramento as a craphole.
