Coyote Pond Park

This is a neighborhood park in Lincoln. The actual playground isn't all that big but there is a trail that goes around the pond and it's really pretty back there! Though there are a bunch of signs that say to watch out for rattlesnakes...and they aren't kidding! I saw at least 3 of them sunning themselves on the cement path when I was there once...it was around dusk and I think that is when they mostly come out. So just be careful!

This is also a lovely place for family pictures :)

Folsom Kids Play Park a.k.a. "Castle Park"

This park is awesome. I had a hard time keeping track of the kiddo since it is so big, but he had a blast! I took a mom group there and everyone had fun! We were all a little tempted to go out and play ourselves :)

Fair Oaks Park

Here we have Fair Oaks Park next to the Fair oaks Library located in the city of...what do ya know...Fair Oaks. This is a nice park with a sand area and the rest of the play area is a soft foam. I have recently notice past 2 times I have been there that there are either a lot of teenagers around or some "rough" looking individuals...like a lot of them...it looked like some sort of group that might meet there weekly? Or maybe it was a one time thing but I probably would have left if there hadn't been other people there. This isn't in a bad part of town or anything, so I wouldn't dismiss this park because I have been there plenty of time without these types of people hanging around...just thought I'd mention it in case this is becoming a usual thing.
