Royer Park | Roseville, CA

Royer Park

There really are so many great parks around here! I love Royer Park! As I walked around yesterday I realized that there was even more to do there than just playing at the parks. Sorry about the photo for the "big kid" park...we never walked over there so I didn't get any close up photos! Here are are a few of the amentities:

2 tennis courts

basketball court

Children's Art Center

LOTS of picnic tables

horseshoe pits

2 play structure areas

Baseball fields

This is definitely a fun place for both big and little kids and also another great family picture park! Behind the Veterans Hall next to the park is a darling bridge crossing the creek over there.

Mahany Park | Roseville

This park was AWESOME!! There was a gated park for little kids which was nice because I didn't need to worry about my little one running out of the area. It also has a little water table/stream, which isn't pictured. Outside the gated park is a bigger playground, swings, and a tall rope climbing structure. So much fun.

This is located right behind the public library as well as the Utility Museum (which, in my opinion, wasn't great for little children...maybe the older ones would appreciate it a little bit more.) The Roseville Aquatic Center is also located on the same property, I believe, and that is awesome too!

Location: Corner of Woodcreek Oaks and Pleasant Grove Boulevard, behind the Martha Riley library.

Memorial Park | Rocklin

Since it has been over a year and I am done being pregnant again and having a newborn AND someone I know found this thing and reminded me of it...I figured I will start up again!

This is a favorite park of ours. It is nice and small and almost hidden so often times it isn't crowded. A small playground is here along with swings and several covered picnic areas. The best part is the little water feature! I really didn't take many photos of the actual park but here are some of the water part.

Lake Park

This beautiful park is in a really nice neighborhood. I think it is supposed to be just for the people who live around it...but I never see any kids there and I have never had a problem when I go and bring my kids. We have seen all kinds of wildlife there! Ducks, geese, fish, turtles...it's a fun place!

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.
