Karl Nordvik Park

Being a father of two little girls, I’m always on the look out for a park that I could let my kids run wild and expend some of that endless energy. I decided to drop by and check this place out over the weekend.
First thing I noticed, they have a small playground for toddlers, and a bigger playground for bigger kids. Wish there were more swings for the babies, and the actual play structures were a bit bigger, but I really did appreciate out how clean and well kept everything was. From the playground all the way out to the picnic tables and the grass area. Large garbage bins were placed about every 25 feet, so I could see this place being perfect for a family picnic.
Bonus — Clean bathrooms on site!

I love this park! Rubber floors (yes!) a great play structure for toddlers and big kids, picnic tables, a grill, open grass space, etc. only negative is there is no shade.

A really nice neighborhood park that’s close to the Newark/​Fremont border.
They’ve redone the field portion of the park so it looks really nice.
The playground is also cool. There’s a section for smaller kids and the larger section for older kids is separate. There are plenty of benches, and even some picnic tables. There’s a ton of space for kids to run around near the playground, and also a big field.
Love this park, and I’m glad it’s pretty close to where I live. I would drive a little further out to go here instead of some of the Newark parks because it’s cleaner and more updated.

Karl Nordvik Park is located here in North Fremont, closer to the Newark Border. Only walking distance from where I live, this community park, is situated near many housing communities and is pretty big with a decent parking lot. There is also street parking if needed.
The park is pretty clean, there wasn’t much trash lying around. It has 2 full basketball courts, with nets attached to the baskets. There is also a pretty decent sized baseball field.
Now, for the little younger ones, there are 2 playgrounds. One for little ones, and one for older ones to play in. There pretty well kept, clean, and easy for kids to use.
This community park, does have a restroom/​bathroom for you to use, although I’ve never used it before.
Safety: Should be fine, usually lot of families here because it’s located near bunch of housing communities. However, you should always be on the look out for strange things happening and be aware of your surroundings.
Overall, this is a great park to spend sometime with friends just to chill, play, have fun, be athletic, and be outgoing!

Good park for kids. Play structures, basketball courts, baseball diamond and wide open grassy field.

This one has most of toddler needs and robe climbing up. No sand area and shadows This one has busy basketball court. This park is in residential area and hence you see lots of families in the park.

Play structure: Very new, modern. Two separate play structures for big and little kids. Structures are larger than most playgrounds.
Ground material: Rubber cushion flooring. No sand, no tan bark.
Unique aspects: Large rope web that kids can climb. Very fun. Great twisty slides. A curvy ‘wall’ that kids can climb.
Restrooms: Yes, clean
Grass: Plenty! Great for running around, playing a game, lying on grass for a picnic.
Picnic Tables: Yes
Shade: Very little. This is the only complaint I have. The structures and play area are 100% exposed. Be sure to put sunblock and hats on your kids.
Parking: Parking lot and street parking. Plenty.
Safety: in a very good area of Fremont. Rarely any shady looking people, sometimes your wanna-​be thug basketball player on the courts but they mind their own business.
Final Comment: We love this park. It’s modern, safe, clean. The structures are large and very fun for kids.

Really nice park. Expansive grass area, picnic tables, two basketball courts, two good-​sized playgrounds for the kiddies, fairly clean restrooms (as far as park restrooms go). The ball field is also in pretty good condition. Not a bad place at all to spend an afternoon.

We came to this park during a birthday party. My husband came here before when he practiced basketball so he was familiar with the place. The park was clean and pretty big.
The party took the one picnic area that the park had but there are no trees to cover the area. If you have a party there on a nice warm day, you should bring a tent. There are two areas for the kids to play in. One area is for the smaller kids and the other area is for the older kids.
My friend lives near that park so I probably would suggest that to her for playdates.

This park is clean. Not crowded during the day. Comes with 2 full basketball court. The playground is pretty big and safe. A lot of grass space and an isolated baseball field. Plenty of parking in the parking lot plus you can park on the side. The restrooms are clean. The only thing lacking is trees. On a hot day, there isn’t much place to chill under.

One of my favorite places to play basketball. It’s one of the few in the area that have 2 full courts (with college 3-​point lines), and the competition is pretty much on the intermediate level. If you don’t get along well with double rimmed hoops, this probably isn’t the place for you. Well, only one of the 4 available baskets is single rimmed, which is a lot more encouraging.
Usually, there’s enough people to run one-​full court game on the weekdays, usually around mid-​afternoon til early evening. In some cases, 2 full court games will go on. Haven’t been here on the weekends when there’s usually a good amount of people, but there’s usually at least one hoop available to practice your shooting.
The courts surfaces are a little uneven, and one of the courts’ rims is a little tilted toward one side. The court closest to the playground can use some revitalizing considering there are some cracks. You can also expect some wind to drift in coming off the shore.
The playground is usually busy with parents taking their little kids to run around and socialize with each other. Easily a good family park located in a quiet neighborhood. Great place to get a pickup game going. Watch out for the double rims!
