Tot Lot

My three year old son had a blast here! My favorite park is that there is a fence all the way around so I don’t have to worry about him escaping! Some of the toys are a little worn, but that didn’t bother him at all!

Love this park and the fact that it is fenced! With a toddler who likes to run away this helps give an extra level of safety. If you’re looking for a toddler friendly park this is a great option in a quiet neighborhood. I’ve never felt like there were too many kids which gives space to play, which I also love.

This park is great in the spring and summer! So happy to have a park where my toddler can run around and be crazy, while I don’t have to worry about him running off into the street. I just wish we lived closer. And that it was easier to find.

TOT Lot is supposed to be for 12 and under kids, but toys are geared for toddlers. Most of the toys there are broken. The playground equipment is in good shape though. It does have a fence with 2 gates that are supposed to be shut after you enter/​leave the park.

Welcome to the fircrest mudhole! We live if fircrest, and have been to the tot lot a bunch of times with. Our kids, but I absolutely hate going to this park for two reasons. Reason number one, I have had a few encounters with some really snotty parents at this park. One guy seriously over reacted to a incident that happened between our children near the sand box, or more well known as the «Fircrest Mudhole» area. Apparently my daughter took a small toy away from this douchebags son and he totally flipped out and started trying to parent my 8 yearold autistic daughter, by shouting at her about how rude she was and how sad she had made his son. «JUST LOOK HOW SAD YOU MADE HIM! «he shouted. This seriously pissed me off, and I had to literally drag my daughter out of the park, and take my autistic son out of the park as well and go home, trying to explain why we were leaving as they are both screaming. This guy was seriously holding his son back and looking at me in horror as I was leaving. He was one of those balding north face fleece coat wearing dads that drives a Saturn and probably can’t pass a McDonalds without getting his overweight son a happy meal. The guy was a total ass. This is not the only run-​in I have had with freaky parents at the tot-​lot, only the most recent. The second reason I am done with the tot-​lot is because of the previously mentioned «fircrest mudhole. «seriously, what’s the deal here? I decided we are not going to be going back.

Went to this tot lot today and was able to have stress-​free fun with my two-​year old. The tot lot is fenced and there is so much to do there – swings, sandbox, jungle gym and lots of green grass to run on. Definitely going to hit this place up once a week!

I had a hard time finding this park. For those of us who don’t live in Fircrest, the park is actually on the corner of Contra Costa and Ramsdell.
Rumors of the police force in Fircrest proved true. I had a very attentive officer following me for a bit. Granted, it was a school zone and I was cruising very slowly up and down the streets, so I quietly congratulated him on his knowledge of strange cars. Hoping he would notice that I had two very impatient 2-​year-​olds in the backseat before actually pulling me over.
I finally find the park. It’s fully fenced, which is wonderful! Only one gate in and out. The picnic tables are close to the gate, so parents can sit if they want and watch the kiddos run to their hearts content.
They had lots of toys. Not just swings and climbing toys, but real toys! Trucks and a few riding bikes, ect. All a little banged up and sun/​water damaged, but who cares? The kids were thrilled. I loved it too.
We were there on a chilly day, so it was just my girlfriend and I braving the weather. It had been rainy recently (imagine that) and the sandbox area with all the trucks was a big swimming pool. We fished out a few for the kids and let them run.
I take off one star only because it doesn’t look as though it’s maintained regularly. I could be wrong. I’ve only been once and that was in the winter, so I may change this to a 5 star after a few more visits.
Overall, this is a great place for little ones! Always nice to find parks where I don’t need to worry about my kids getting bowled over by the ‘big kids.’

It’s fenced so it’s PERFECT for younger children as is the big toys there! :) Even a swing that harnesses little ones in. :) There is also a big sidewalk track that goes around the perimeter so it’s ideal for riding your trike. One of our favorite spots, for sure!
