Tahoe Park

Tahoe Park, for me, was a lot nicer when I was younger. Maybe it’s because I never noticed how absolutely filthy the restrooms are or how some people only come here to smoke weed and do who knows what else. Despite that, it’s still an okay place to jog around or take my dog for a walk. Some other redeeming qualities are the big playgrounds for kids, the swimming pool, and Sac Mofo, if you’re familiar with that. What else can I say? I pretty much grew up around this neighborhood, so it’ll always be nostalgic. I just wish they would keep the place cleaner!

Well used neighborhood park. People picnicking, jogging, walking, kids playing soccer and football, dog trainers conducting classes, yoga classes on Saturdays, a pool, 2 playgrounds (one for really little ones, another for bigger little ones). lots of shade trees and green space. Oh, and exercise equipment every few feet so you can do arm and leg exercises and stretches along the path. What’s not to love?

I can only review this park for the portion around the swimming pool. I came here on a Sunday morning for some yoga in the park and we met around the swimming pool. I like how the area we were in was in the shade and I was able to do yoga here. The park itself isn’t nearly as crowded as Mckinley parking with runners/​walkers but it seems to still get the trick done. The park seemed fine to me and I would be back for yoga.

Hola alguien sabe a que horas abren la alberca y si hay clases de natación
Hi anyone know what time they open the pool and swimming lessons if

When I used to live in Sacramento, I was literally a block away from the park. I would come here a few times a week in the morning to go for a run. The park is large with a playground, baseball diamond, a few picnic areas, public restrooms and enough grassy space to make every dog in the neighborhood happy.
The park is in a very good neighborhood. Everyone you see at the park, even those on their morning jogs, will smile and say hi. On very very few occasions you will see people who may look a little shady, but in the months I ran here, I was never bothered.
It’s a great family park where you can take your kids to play. Take your dogs for a run. Or just come, relax and enjoy the day.

Love living near this park. I walk my dog to this park very often. Every once in awhile there will be a group of teenagers smoking herb. I usually confront them and they leave. Other than that, I havent noticed much crime around this park. I really love taking my family to their pool during the summer. Also they have food truck events every month since the summer this year. A very diverse neighborhood surrounds this park, and the neighbors are all watching to try and keep crime away from ruining our beautiful neighborhood. The only thing I can say that this park is missing is a situp bench.

I live within walking distance to the park and sometimes I go there for a walk before or after work. There are a lot of families in Tahoe Park East that go there along with a mixture of folks that live on the other side of Tahoe Park.
As with any park, including McKinley Park, there are groups or individuals that make me uncomfortable. I don’t chalk this up to the neighborhood but rather just the way the world is today; unsettling folks are everywhere.
There are a lot of baby strollers and a lot of people walking their dogs. I have found a more «senior» population walking in the morning versus the afternoon.

The park is a fairly safe place to take a nice walk during the day.

I’ve recently taken to getting into some healthier habits and regular exercise is at the top of that particular to do list. I’m not a gym rat and don’t want to pay any kind of monthly membership fees at this point. It’s because of these reasons that I’m thrilled to have Tahoe Park right up the street from my house. This little patch of green really has quite a bit to offer! The jogging path runs around the perimeter of the park and has strength and conditioning stations along the way. There’s a beautiful baseball diamond, a few basketball courts, volleyball net and horseshoes always open to interested parties. It’s also one of the few public parks that still has a swimming pool, complete with changing rooms and a kiddie pool. The bummer is that it’s only open a few days a week. You can usually find soccer teams practicing in the wide open spaces or families gathering at one of the many picnic areas. Occasionally I’ll see groups of kids loitering, smoking pot or otherwise lowering the surrounding property values, but I’ve never had any problems with any of them and they generally have good weed! (kidding on that last bit)
I envision many future laps run around the track, having a catch or maybe a barbecue in the summer! However I end up spending my time at the lovely Tahoe Park, I’m sure it will be time well spent!

I’ve always enjoyed this park. Probably because it’s in a quiet neighborhood & when folks gather here it’s a family type atmosphere.

My neighborhood-​park! I love this place. We’re here every chance we get to walk the dog and enjoy the nice days.
Even though this park can get destroyed on the weekends by an abundance of parties, it’s usually all clean by the end of Monday. Big props to the city for that considering all the budget cuts.
Over the years, I’ve observed a funny thing about the demographics on the people who use the park. On Fridays it’s mostly white-​people at the park: playing frisbee and soccer. Saturday is when black folks come out: cookouts and bounce houses galore. Finally, Sunday is Mexican day with grilling and plenty of volleyball action. Interesting tid-​bit, Mexicans are really good at volleyball!

Tahoe Park is awesome. There is a great public pool. Very well kept. It has a diving board, large enough for swim teams and the only wading pool that slope from each end to 3ft so little kids can learn to swim. $ 1 for kids to use.

Tahoe Park itself, much like the neighborhood surrounding it, is lovely. It’s approximately .25 miles from my house and the dirt path around it is about 2/​3rds of a mile, providing for a pleasant jog or walk. But other than running in a few circles, Tahoe Park has more to offer.
1. Plenty of delightful trees and shade.
2. Many benches and tables. You’ll often see famlies and large parties.
3. THE POOL! Great for families again, and a nice feature of the park.
4. Swings. Because inside i’m 10.
5. A very pretty art sculpture.
6. A softball field — I hear the Tahoe Park Rangers rock it there!
7. Stations around the track for other types of exercise — balancing muscle groups.
8. DOGS! I love seeing all the neighbors watching their pups.
I should go more and throw a ball around or take a dip!

I grew up going to this park and swimming in the pool there. I now live down the street from it and take my boys to it on a regular basis. There are 2 play structures, one for the little kids and one for the bigger kids. A few baseball diamonds, a basketball court, an area for volleyball, an area to play horseshoes across from the park, a covered picnic area, and of course benches, bbq’s, and more picnic tables. Also lots of open space to run around and play.
I think once around the park is about .7 miles and there are little exercise stations around the park. In addition, there is a dirt trail so you don’t have to run on the sidewalk.
The only negative is the pool is closed. Which is a real shame considering how many people utilized it.
I love this park!

This park has a little of everything! Sports courts, a pool (when open), playground, grassy areas with shady trees, grills, and a track. There are frequent gatherings here, including softball leagues, dog training classes, etc. Our dog likes it here because there are always a lot of people and other dogs to meet.

I like this park —
it’s close to my house, close to both a bakery and a bbq place (for awesome picnicking), plus it has a baseball field, soccer field, playground equipment, bathrooms, picnic tables, a walking/​running trail, and a swimming pool.
However, the City has no money, so they’ve closed the pool for the foreseeable future. Which is so lame. I’ve moved within walking distance of Tahoe Park and they’ve shut the thing I was most excited about.
But still, this 4×4 (block) park is the perfect spot to lunch or lay-​out or read or have a family reunion or play a game of ball. I’m holding the 4^th star for when the pool reopens, but in the meantime it’s still a park worth visiting.

I live near Tahoe Park so I walk my dog here often. It’s a nice stroll around the park. It’s always fun to watch kids playing baseball and they have bbq’s and tables. Great Park! =)

Close to my house and a little secret near midtown. Only about a half mile per loop. But not super crowded, shady, and nice packed dirt path. A good place to do a little pseudo-​speedwork since it seems most tracks in Sacramento are closed to the public.
The park itself is nice; softball, soccer (albeit small) fields, plenty of grass, trees, BBQ grills, full court bball court, and a local swimming pool that seems to never be open. Can be a bit busy and a little sketchy during summertime evenings.

I play softball here, city co-​ed «D» league. The field is decent, and has lights for evening play. Downside is that the bathrooms are sometimes closed, and aren’t that close to the field. You can join a dog-​training class in the park that always seems to be going on Tuesday nights. Also, there is a running track and those little exercise stations. Nice park in an up and coming neighborhood. I always see families walking, even in the evening.

I use to go sparingly to the park when I was a kid back in the 80’s and early 90’s.
When my son was born I started to come more often and noticed that the remodel of the park greatly improved the look and has a more child friendly feel.
I also like running around the park in the morning for about 40 minutes. The trail they built with dirt around the park does wonders for my knees!

This is MY park, people. It has a pool. It has a baseball diamond. It has a big jungle gym and a little jungle gym. It has bigass sprinklers that hose you down on hot mornings when you are hauling your middle-​aged spread around the dirt track. It has decent water fountains with cute little built-​in troughs for your dog, damn it! It has shady trees. It has plenty of parking. It has a gazebo for your neighborhood party and bbq grills and benches. And if, after all that frenzy of activity and purpose, you’re still at a loss, walk down the street to the donut shop and get over yourself.
It’s MY park. Love it or leave it.
