Cedar Rose Park

found this place thru Unilocal after finding out that Totland is closed. Easy parking around the area is a plus.
There seem to be 2 sets of playground: one is for 2 – 5 year olds. My son is only 14 months old but I went ahead and brought him.
He liked the sand part, the slide and bridge.
The place was crowded around noon. .
Clean place. There are big grass areas as well.

Such beautiful park with something for everyone, toddlers have their own space, older kids have a playground, and then there is an enormous open grassy field big enough for kids and dogs galore to run around. Always peaceful and fun. Love it!

It’s really a fun park and I have been coming here for a long time. The play structure for the kiddie park is ok the turtle used to spray water but the button is broken. Some of the negative things about it is.
a. People pick up after your dogs please other people use the park to.
b. The bathroom. Really only a chain to separate you and the world, please fix this it’s discussing.

Went to the children’s birthday party here. Overall the park was well kept, it had a good amount of trees and a brand new play structure for the kiddos. Parking was ample since it is tuck away in a neighborhood. Dogs, kids, teens, everyone was enjoying the sunshine.
I gave this place only three stars for one reason. .. the bathroom. Literally a structure with no door — just a chain you are supposed to put up when someone in in there but virtually no privacy. You definitely need someone to go with you to stand guard. By far the strangest bathroom I have seen — honestly I would have preferred a port potty. .. at least it has a door. It was pretty gross and dirty. At least it flushed.
I personally would never have a party here just for the bathroom issue but I must say that it was a very nice park otherwise and the playground structure looked pretty cool.

I’ve driven past this charming park over a dozen times over the years but recently attended a baby shower there. Though it was a cloudy day, we had the perfect spot for a picnic near the tot playground. My daughter and my friend’s young children were happy climbing on the turtle dome, the spring toys, running through the tunnels and back and forth to the wooden play structure. We had benches on which to set up our lunchtime buffet but most of us brought lawn chairs and blankets. There were many parties taking place despite the gloomy weather.
The one glaring minus: the bathroom has no door and is filthy. The only thing between you and the rest of the world is a chain. My best friend preferred to head back to work and use the facilities at her office rather than stay at the park.
Nevertheless, my daughter has requested another visit soon.

A pro called Peter Benko teaches there. I took lessons from him regularly and he improved my game by a notch. He is patient, experienced, and knowledgeable both with tennis and tennis psychology. Reasonable rate. Google Peter Benko and you will find him.
The 3 courts there are well situated and relatively good shape as far as public courts are concerned.

Came here for the first time with my son, yesterday. I’ll definitely hit it up again someday. He was very much in love with the tire-​swing. They have a couple different play structures, which was nice so I could keep my sick boy segregated from the other kids.
Seems that they possibly have a no-​leash policy for dogs? Or the one dog owner I saw there didn’t seem to care. (Which is fine by me, as long as the dog is well behaved and safe to have around kids). I’m not a fan of those who leave their dog poop near the playground, though! Pick up your poop!!! (probably a different dog, just for clarity).

Great park for all sorts of ACTIVITY! I loved walking by here on my way home from BART and seeing loads of kids of all ages playing in just about every square inch of this flat little grassy green slice of open space. An excellent and well loved park — mind the pedestrians crossing Cedar!

i love playing tennis. so my buddy who i go to college with has been after me to show him how good i am but I don’t usually brave the bay bridge much on weekends & he is always ducking out of the city to hit bart.
anyway, this weekend he and his gf are having a cookout and i decided to make the trek over berserkely way. he tells me come early & we can have that match we been shitting about for ever so i make the effort and chug enough coffee to get my bouncin and we meet up at their place and walk over to cedar rose.
they got 3 good size courts and there wasn’t much competition so we had full run of the park. didn’t see any lights so this is probably better for daytime acvtivity. you late owls will need nightvision goggles or to hit another court. so i pound him into the pavement in the 1^st set. he comes back slightly in game 2 and then crucifies me in the last game, which was just for kicks. I still clenched the title with best of 3 so he is my new bitch and has to buy me coffees all through summer school.
i got game.
great park, i dig it.

The renovated the children’s playground here earlier this year. It’s simple, but kids between the ages of 2 – 6 will have a good time here for 30 – 40 minutes before they get bored and start whining. A high point is the turtle that squirts water out of its mouth into the sand below.
Next to the children’s playground is the large grassy field. As long as there’s not a group of adults playing soccer or football, it’s a fun place to toss a Frisbee or kick a ball around with the kids. The Ohlone Greenway goes right through the park, so there’s also the opportunity to ride your bike to this place.
