Clayton Community Park

I met a co-​worker and her family here today to watch her son’s little league game. It’s the first time I’ve been to a little league game in Clayton, and my first time at this park. I spent a little bit of time on the playground with her daughter in between her son’s innings at-​bat. There are a few fields here and they all had games taking place while we were there.
A private parking lot at the top of the hill has lots of parking, and there are also spots on the side of the road leading up the hill, and near the park at the bottom when you turn onto Regency Drive from Marsh Creek.
The fields were nice and in good condition. The playground was also really neat, and had a play area for 2 – 5 year olds separate from the one for children a little bit older (who can play unassisted). There are several tables and shaded areas, and also paths that lead to the open space.
I used the women’s restroom and sadly a small, injured bird lay writhing in pain and flopping around one of the stalls. I didn’t even know what to do about this, except go home sad, with a heavy heart for this hurting animal. As we drove away, (I swear this happened), like a scene from the nature channel, a hawk swooped down and grabbed a different bird, and it screeched in fear and pain, fought the hawk, but was eventually carried off for dinner. It made me want to bring the other bird out of the stall where it was dying and let nature «take it’s course» but I drove off instead, not being able to bring myself to pull the scared creature outside it’s concrete tomb. Aside from the uniquely sad scene I witnessed in the bathroom, this is a really cool community park.

Love this park for a quiet, fairly large play area. Has some ball fields and a hill and some walking paths.
We’ll go here to avoid crowds at other locations and Clayton seems to keep their parks up.

Love Clayton, love their parks… the kid loves them even more. although I have to admit, I’m pretty sure I keep checking into the wrong park out here… either way, the parks in clayton are clean, great for kids and groups. can’t go wrong. and it tires out the little one! Definitely can’t beat free and fun entertainment!

Favorite park. On a sunny day, plan a picnic!

Plenty of parking.
Not a huge space but a stunning view if Diablo.

I really like taking the kids here. Its clean, no sand to deal with. There are 2 separate areas for the big kids and little kids. Overall, a great park

This park is very clean and large for my kids to run and play. Great play structure and plenty of solid grass to play ball. And a store next to it for drinks and snacks. Perfect spot in down town Clayton.
Very safe here and no broken glass or needles like a majority of other parks.

Very nice park with beautiful views of the mountains, plenty of things to do for kids. Will go back whenever we get a chance

A nice little park in a nice little city!
It’s easy to miss, so look for the park entrance right at the edge of town. The entrance has parking at the immediate right for the lower and large ball field. Go up the hill further to the upper parking where the rest of the facilities are located. It’s tucked away, so keep that in mind on solo visits.
The park facilities are fairly new, clean, and seem to be well kept. They do have an application on their website for reserving use on various areas, so look into that for large groups. Parking space is about right for most events, but I could see running out for team sports.
My first and only visit was pretty cold December morning to meet up with high school friends and their families. It had snowed in that area a couple weeks before, so I was sure it would be cold — wasn’t sure I was gonna go or stay long if did go. Mr Z. talked convinced my to stop waffling and get over there! Though the cold was not very comfortable, it was good to see friends and the families they are raising. The little ones took advantage of the play structure while everyone spent time at the picnic tables eating pizza followed by drinking rounds of coffee. A few ventured around the hill side and bit and enjoyed the view all around. It was a nice place for a family and friends get-​together.
It’s a nice little park that will serve this community well!
