Bryte Park

Beautiful park. The hubby plays flag football here on sundays. Bathrooms are not in the most ideal location. They’re across the street and it’s a pretty good walk to get there– especially I the middle of a good game. Street parking available. There’s also a small dirt lot to park in and 2 play areas for kids. There’s not a ton of shade either. Bring lots of water and sunscreen.

It’s become our «go-​to.» Wide open spaces, and if you get there early in the day, the park is pretty much yours.

This park is big: baseball diamond, soccer field, basketball court, a small workout area, ¼ mile track, an old playground and a brand new play ground courtesy of Disney! The community came together a few months ago and with diabetes finding out in an awesome little addition to the park. This neighbor hood has a lot of kids so it’s wonderful they have this now. What I all the workout area is what used to be a kids mini playground I’m guessing but it is minimal: balancing beam, different size pull up bets and other things like so!

DISNEY –KABOOM TOM SAWYER PLAYGROUND
June 5^th, Opening Day, Noon: «Underwhelming and low-​budget» would be the best description of this highly anticipated Disney inspired playground. ZERO shade to be had, making every piece of equipment searing hot to the touch of even adults callused palms. Compared to the existing playground (near the baseball diamond) Tom sawyer playground is double in size but has very few features that would said to be of legendary Disney Imagination caliber. As wealthy as Disney is, more money was seamingly spent on woodchips than notable play equipment. Cliché simple climbing ladders and non-​moving hand/​foot crossings left little to be explored for engaging adventures. One unique swing draws most of the attention — and crowd to use it. Did I mention the entire playground is void of shade: no trees, nor awnings, nor umbrellas, ?nor drinking fountain?

Located in a down on it’s luck neighborhood, Bryte Park suffers from a serious lack of charm. It’s mostly a flat soccer/​baseball field, but there’s a nice running track attached and mature trees line the sides. There’s also a slightly beat-​up workout area that’s old, but usable in the back corner by the track.
Travel behind the park and you’ll come across a river levee area that seems perfect for getting your four-​legged best friend some exercise. There’s a couple of spots where the river and dock areas are visible. I was impressed with an effort that’s being made to plant some seedlings in this area. Unfortunately, they seem to be suffering from recent neglect and drought.
Most impressive is the handicap accessibility to this area. I don’t know how feasible it would be for someone in a wheelchair to make it up the long, somewhat steep ramp. I used it for an added incline to my walk. They also installed a special designated handicap parking spot at the base of the ramp that would be large enough for someone with a van to fit.
It’s too bad the main park is not more aesthetically pleasing. After searching for nice parks in West Sac, the only one that I’ve been truly happy with is River Walk. Maybe with all the positive things that seem to be happening on the other side of the West city, they can eventually find a few coins in the coffer for a park that could use a little love.

Very big park! Lots of grass area for a variety of sports! Trees are abundant for shade and parking is convenient. Pretty cool baseball area as well. Would recommend more picnic tables please.
