Hillsborough Park | Roseville California Parks

This is another personal favorite park...and my son LOVES it too! It is located in a nice, safe area so that's another perk. I love a park where I don't feel like there are shady people roaming around...and this is definitely a safe feeling park!

Ammenities:
1.5 basketball courts
2 playgrounds- one with sand, one with bark
Covered Picnic area
soccer Fields
Baseball fields
Sand Volleyball court (no net)
Cement trail around the whole park (at least I think it goes around the entire thing...)

1001 Hillsborough Drive Roseville, CA 95746
Located on the corner of Sierra College Blvd and East Roseville parkway

Wacky Tacky in Roseville

My kids had a GREAT time here! We actually went on a day we thought it was supposed to rain and then it didn't so there weren't a whole lot of people in there since it was so nice outside...which was kind of nice for us!

It's like a Mc Donalds playplace on steroids. The pictures I took aren't super great...they are from my phone because I forgot my camera. For parents, there are chairs and tables all over or you can jump right in and assist your kids anywhere inside the play structures. I think my sister-in-law and I may have had more fun playing with the balls than the kids did. Very fun and definitely wore the kiddos out!


7351 Galilee Rd # 160, Roseville, CA 95678

Open 7 days a week
Monday thru Saturday 9 AM to 8 PM
Sunday 10 AM to 7 PM

Regular admission is $7 per kid over 2, adults are free.
It looked like they had some deals for admission on their website so check it out if you are interested!

Lew Howard Memorial Park

Here we have the Lew Howard Memorial Park. (7100 Baldwin Dam Rd)
A very lovely park on a hill in Folsom. I love the tennis courts here (not that I play or anything) because they look out over Folsom.

Amenities:

Picnic areas with BBQ
Playground- 1 structure for bigger kids, 1 for smaller
Swingset
Tennis courts
Basketball Court

No sand, only bark. Lots of grass.
...and there really were kids there, not just this "ghost park" you see below!

Address: 290 American River Canyon Dr Folsom, CA
Amenities:
2 basketball courts
tennis courts
soccer field
1 playground- with sand
lots of huge rocks and a walking trail (short, but pretty.)

Sorry, I didn't get a good variety of photos for this one...I'll be better in the future. This is mainly the playground area.

Hello!

Hi! Welcome! My name is Janelle and I am a mother of two. I thought it would be nice if someone blogged about different parks in the Sacramento area so that I could know which ones are good to try out or which parks are worth the drive...or just which parks are out there! Apparently someone did...but she moved :( In order to maybe help other moms realize how many neat parks we have in the area (hopefully), I've decided to visit a bunch of parks in surrounding areas to let you all know what is out there!

Feel free to let me know any parks you feel should be documented and I will get to picture taking and playing! I hope this is beneficially to at least someone out there!

Let's play!
