This park is so cute 😍 and it is huge. There is a lot of space to play and run.. there is a splash pad for the kids to run in. Tennis and basketball hoops too.
villa april: ★★★★★
It was a nice relief from our stressful week! My grandson enjoyed the playground. My daughter and my grandson and myself enjoyed the little water park.
Tammy Farris: ★★★★
What a cool park!! Wish there was a bit more shade cover on the actual playground. Visiting again in the spring, it's a little rough bc trash and graffiti but still not too bad. We love the train theme and the animal sculpture. Tennis courts, splash pad and skatepark make this a well rounded park. Lots of trees (also means lots of squirrels)
Terri Sanne: ★★★★★
Lots of things to do there, especially for the kiddos. There are ball fields, great play areas, a stage, lots of trees and walkways to walk your dog. There are lots of squirrels too.
Maggie Williams: ★★★★★
I am the mother of a 3 year old boy and we like to go around to all the playgrounds we can find in the Sacramento area. We like playgrounds that have a lot of opportunities to climb as well as awesome slides and structures. McClatchy Park has very quickly become one of our absolute favorite playgrounds! It is train themed, with very unique climbing structures and awesome slides, swings, and a zip-line style hanging bar. Very very fun playground!! Adjacent to the playground is a Frisbee golf course and other ball courts. Also (and frankly, more importantly) there is a monument for the people who police have murdered, beautiful named paintings to help us to keep saying the names of the lives lost, to help us to always remember. BLACK LIVES MATTER!!! Absolutely a beautiful park, easy parking, and kind people. I highly recommend
